Pinch me!! Wait, don’t, because I never want to wake up from this dream! I can hardly believe the events that led us from a quick decision to sell our first home, to living in transition, while being able to watch this lovely house go up one day at a time. We just absolutely could not have made it here, home again, without our selfless, generous family and wonderful friends. The Smiths are all so grateful to be surrounded so completely by love. During this process we have had the chance to meet so many members of our “greater Athens” community and businesses - every piece of this puzzle fell into place because these people made it happen. From storage to site management, incessant grading to instant internet and so much more - we thank them all! And it’s pretty priceless when your dear friend happens to be the best Realtor in town. We are ecstatic to unpack 1000 boxes, settle in, explore, and see what we can make of this gorgeous house and land. Welcome to the new and improved Briar Rose World! xo, jess
