Tom White’s house, that is.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom had his house warming party last weekend. House is a massive understatement, though. It’s more like a mansion as you’ll see from the pictures that follow. <\/p>\n

Tom bought the Lakepoint house months ago and I’d been watching the renovation unfold on Facebook. He gutted the kitchen and pretty much updated everything but the basement. Every time he would post a picture of a completed section such as his kitchen counters or his light fixtures I would tell Brian, “I hope we get invited to his housewarming party because I really want to see this amazing house in person.”<\/p>\n

You all know how much I love the Parade of Homes<\/a>. Well, this would be like that but better because there will be food and booze. Come to think of it, that’s really what’s missing at most open houses. LOL. <\/p>\n

Took a picture of the dining table as they were setting it up for the feast.<\/p>\n

This is one of Brian’s ultimate selfies. Almost everyone congregated around Tom’s amazing kitchen. <\/p>\n

Brian and I made a new friend. This is Elissa, a friend of Tom’s from university.<\/p>\n

This is Jessie. He is a master at delivering the ultimate customer experience. He’s going to be my “Taxi Terry” example when I finally hit the speaking circuit. <\/p>\n

Yes. We are dorks who wear matching shirts. Mostly my doing. Brian just humors me.<\/p>\n

Tom’s perfectly cooked ribs.<\/p>\n

We had a great time at Tom’s open house\/house warming party despite the storm. Brian and I almost decided not to go but I’m glad we went. We got to check out Tom’s new house and try his cooking. Both were phenomenal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
