At lunch today I sat with Melissa and Marie. Melissa will be the proud owner of one of these homes. Marie is her stepmother. They seem like best friends or sisters, and were a whole lot of fun to talk to.
As a soon-to-be homeowner through Habitat, Melissa has been working at the building site like the other homeowners. Unfortunately, her two young sons aren't old enough to help out at the build. But they are very excited about their new home.
So they played a trick on their mom. They told her that they had missed the bus to school and begged her to take them. Coincidentally, the route to school is VERY close to their new home. So they asked their mom if she would mind detouring a bit so they could see where they will be living soon.
Melissa drove them past the house. For two young boys, these are very exciting times. In about a month they will be eating, sleeping, playing, having friends over, and just being boys in their new Habitat Home.
I wish I could be there when they get to walk in the doors for the first time....
