It's only been 14 years? I still stand by the fact that we should be counting all those other years dating and not dating, though it'd make us sound older than we already feel. To even say we've been together this long is an accomplishment of a lifetime. I know for a fact I couldn't have found anyone better for me. I mean, who else shares a pb&j with a stranger? The peaches were sneaky, I thought you were being nice and turns out you just didn't like them. Jokes on you though, because I love them, even now.
Thank you for being my best friend, even during the bumpy parts, you gave me a chance. I couldn't be more grateful. You are a wonderful husband and father, for our three marvelous kids.
Fourteen years later, I'm still falling for you. Being your partner is a privilege and I'm so thankful you still think I'm the best choice. I love you more than words can say, my vows didn't even cover it way back when. You are my north star, holding me steady.
Thank you for all that you do, happy anniversary my love.
The Thorn Deveaux home is located in the Lakeside neighborhood, right behind the main winery establishment. Originally built by her great grandparents, the home was originally three bedrooms and was only one floor. The Thorns loved it this way - a quaint home to return to after a long day working at the winery. This was a point of contention for Laurel's mother, Elizabeth Thorn. She hated the small space, finding it crowded. One of her father's plans was to eventually expand on the home, to fulfill his wife's dream. Even going as far as drawing up plans, though they didn't have a chance to come to fruition before she left.
When Eli and Laurel got married, they chose to stay in this home since Laurel was beginning to take more responsibility within the grounds. Over the years, they have expanded and rebuilt parts of their home to accommodate their growing family. It also comes in handy that her husband has a degree in architecture, so this often becomes a summer project for them.
Presently, their place is at 11,000+ sq ft. Each detail has been carefully curated by both of them, making sure that their families will be safe and comfortable. Their place is two stories with hosting eight bedrooms and six bathrooms. Seems excessive, but considering both families often time came together and spent lengthy seasons with them, the place was a perfect size. Warmth is the thought behind every decision they make, with the hope that their home will always be a beloved space to their parents and their children.
