This Land

It was thirteen years ago yesterday, the day I first stepped foot on this bit of soil.
It was dark outside, the house was sub-floor and sheetrock, surrounded by mud.
A tall, skinny boy held my hand as he proudly guided me through the construction debris and to the door.
I had only the teensiest glimmer of a thought that I might one day call this land home.
A momentous occasion, that night.
Strange to think that it passed without trumpets and fanfare.
