Don’t let the smile fool you; the sunglasses were hiding the tears that came all too freely once I turned around and looked at our empty home. This place truly showed us the meaning of community and I still can’t believe we’re moving on. 😭 #hadawayhomestead

Yesterday I made a trip that I’ve been putting off since the day I knew I had to make it. And even though the timing couldn’t have been worse in the midst of my own home sale, my grandparents (who I lost last year just 6 months apart) house has been sold and time was running out. It’s fascinating what physical items your brain attaches it’s memories too - and it was my turn to pick up the few approved items that I had requested from my grandparents house that I got to keep. The house they lived in was the only one I’d ever known them to have; and we did so much life there. The flower garden in the front yard, the grandfather clock in the entry, Papa’s piano in the living room, Grandma’s art studio in the garage and the storage shed in the back that Grandma painted up to look like a barn, complete with a horse in a stall and sleepy barn cats on a barrel. Yesterday, the house was familiar yet different. The flower garden in the front was gone. The front porch was bare and the walls had all new paint and contained a whole lot less of their things. Sold, hauled off by people that loved them, or donated, all in the name of getting the house ready for its new owners. I loaded the van and said goodbye to Arlen Drive - trying to burn the old sounds, smells and memories into my brain instead of this new version of reality. All of us wresting on the living room floor or gathered around the piano, the constant sound of wind chimes and the grandfather clock, the sweet smell that always seemed to fill the air there or sitting at the dining table eagerly awaiting Papa’s famous brisket or breakfast tacos to be ready. That’s what this place will always be to me.

Sell a house, build a house, move schools, open another Taproom & brewing facility....you know - just taking it easy. #Repost @millcreekbrewco ・・・ Ok Franklin, lets do this! 💪🏼 We are excited to share that in September, we’ll be expanding our Taproom & brewing space to FRANKLIN, TN! Stay tuned for more info!

And just like that summer is over. This kid was welcomed into a new class in a new school with a whole new group of neighborhood kids this morning, and nervousness aside, he found more than a few familiar faces excited to see him. He is going to LOVE second grade, I can already tell. I can’t wait to pick him up and hear all about his day! #lifewithmyollie

Building a home in a new school zone that is scheduled to be done halfway through the school year left us with the choice to switch Ollie this year or next. We took this one down to the wire (school starts TOMORROW) but we are all excited to have him start at his new school this year as a Charger! #lifewithmyollie

I’ve been pretty quiet on here for the last little bit - to say life has been crazy is an understatement. We’re alive and well and taking things as they come. Building, selling and renting a home is no joke - throw pets and school starting next week in the mix and that’s pretty much where I’ve been all month. 🤪 Enjoy this picture from a few weeks ago when I hit the town with my co-workers in celebration of a Small Business of the Year nomination for @millcreekbrewco. 💃🏼🍻🙌🏼
