Jacie Lake turned 37 yesterday, October 21st. She's not sure exactly how she feels about that just yet, but as of right now, it's no big deal. She's grateful for her blessings, regretful for her mistakes, and believes that her future is waiting for her to arrive. If only there was a road map to get her there. The last few years she feels like she's been just putting in her time as an office droid until she could really put herself into something that she's passionate about. The time has finally arrived. She's going to start today.
Simple by design, Jacie's house is a warm butter yellow with stark white trim. It's a one level cottage with the cross braces in the windows, shutters that are actually useable, and decorative eaves that give it an animated look. The front yard is meticulously manicured with a beautiful linden tree in the center and rose bushes climbing the trellis next to the front porch. It's the old fashioned kind of porch, with a rocking chair on one side of the front door and a porch swing hanging on the other. A wind chime dangles carelessly just behind the rocking chair and solar lights line the walk that leads to the porch. Each side of the house has a single row of sunflowers with gigantic blossoms creeping up the walls, and a single rose bush on each front corner. The backyard is fairly large but manageable with just a few trees, a flower bed, and a small portion sectioned off for a garden.
