This is who we are
David Aydelott is an educator who has spent the majority of his career in music education. His childhood years spent singing acapella hymns in his small country church fine-tuned his ears and gave him ethereal experiences in group musical settings, inspiring him to create those experiences in youth through the years.
Renée Aydelott fell into accounting after searching for what she might be good at, spending thirty years in the manufacturing environment. She has always had the desire to create something of her own.
David and Renée met almost 30 years ago. After spending their career years achieving career goals, family goals, and personal goals, they are embarking on finding their next goal together, bringing their century farmhouse into the 21st century.
These are our values
Hard Work
For us to succeed in this endeavor, it will take a lot of time and effort. We learned the value of hard work from our parents, and we’ve both worked hard in our professional careers. We will approach this the same way.
Growth Mindset
We’re still “works in process.” Yes, we’re moving into the retirement years, but we’re not finished products. We still have things to learn, and we can improve our health. We want to travel and use our time together to grow closer. We have to be honest about our deficiencies and maximize our strengths.
Relationships
Whether it’s our family members, our neighbors, or the individuals that we’ve been lucky enough to know in our lives so far, the degree to which we connect with other people will go a long way toward determining our future.
Gratitude
No matter if we are traversing a hill or a valley, in sunshine or rain, we must take stock of our lives and be grateful. Mindful of nature’s splendor, the blessings of our family, and the people we interact with along the way, we must show gratitude, especially for those things endowed by our creator.
History
We’re remodeling a house built around 1890 when Benjamin Harrison was President of the United States. It was near the time of the Spanish-American War, the massacre at Wounded Knee, when Winston Churchill was a schoolboy, when motion pictures came to be, and decades from the installation of electricity and indoor plumbing in the house. We value the people who lived in the house through the years (especially LT and Winnie’s seventy years). And we look forward to adding to the history.
