Hearthridge Drive

Nate & I had a chance to swing through Janesville on our way home from Chicago & were able to snap a few pictures of the old Hearthridge Drive Miller home. The trees are much bigger, but otherwise it looks pretty much the same as it did then! I was thinking about it on the drive home & I'm so grateful for all Mom & Dad have given us Miller kids. You really sacrificed a lot to give us a good childhood & provide for us. As we prepare to have our own family, I realize what a huge sacrifice parenthood will be & I'm so thankful for all you have given me, Mom & Dad.

I remember biking to this house as a little girl, the summer between 3rd & 4th grade, to see it's development as it was built. I loved that! I wish your new house was close enough that Nate & I could bike up there to see the progress...good times!

The funniest part about visiting the Hearthridge home was when Nate noticed the clothesline in the backyard: "Nice clothesline - did you guys not have a dryer?" hahahaha!!! Silly, Nate.

Anyway, I just wanted to say 'thanks' to Mom & Dad for all you've given us. Love you!!!

Nate,

You'll be happy to know that a clothsline is in the plans for the new house. We had room for a basketball hoop or a clothsline--and the "let's go natural" clothsline won out. Al Gore would be so proud of us. I would have expected that you being a Chicago/Obama guy that you'd be all over clothslines--but no, you mock and ridicule.

I remember catching fireflies in the back yard of your house...we didn't really have fireflies up in Waunakee and I insinuated from that Janesville was really far south...I also think I had a crush on one of your neighbors, probably really impressed her with the zoobas pants I wore during our visit.
