This is a legacy piece of property that became available, and Lori and I can't wait to bring our kids, that we don't have yet, to bring our kids up and make memories and friends and have this be in the family for a long time.

So it's a long-term play instead of an instant gratification play.

That's such a great question.

So Lori and I met when she was 21 and I was 24.

Friends first, then became lovers.

I wanted, you know, to be hooked up right away, immediately.

She had a different agenda, different timeline than me.

And so I was willing to, you know, work through that, be patient, work through being able to quote earn her.

But when we met at 21, 24, that's young.

And you're very different people than you are today as I'm 44 and she's 41.

And so over that 20 years, you become at least three or four different people each, right?

Your likes, your interests, what drives you, everything.

It changes radically.

As a matter of fact, we should be changing.

It's so unfair for people to expect the person they met, you know, 10, 15, 20 years ago to be the same person they met.

That would be a nightmare.

Lori would be so boring to me if she was the same Lori when she was 21.

And I would be so boring to her if I was the same Chris that I was when I was 24.

So what's really made it work was a couple of things.

One, we've always said we're willing to try it on for size.
