The House That Made Me - The Pressley Girls

[@Alanna-Davis410]

Watching this now and at 20 mins you taking about where everyone’s house is.. that’s your driveway now❤😊😊😊😊 makes me so happy for y’all! And the big garden is back! Wow!! God is so good!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you, God is so good 🙏

I was raised in wooded country too. The only thing I could hear was crickets, or night birds. We had a lot of owls. Hoot Hoot. Early in the morning our carrier pigeons left their little roosting house and flew around all day. At dusk the pigeons would come back. We could hear their going and coming. Like you, we had chickens. A rooster crowing in the morning was my Mom's alarm clock. It was pretty much pitch black except on full moons. There was a huge magnolia tree outside my bedroom window. I loved it when it bloomed. Loved your video. Nothing can replace a real picture. 😊❤

[@thepressleygirls]

Such a beautiful picture you have painted! We love pigeons, that’s so sweet that they lived at y’all’s house. We are so blessed to live in the country with all our animals and our garden! Thank you friend!

[@peacefulwife5199]

@@thepressleygirls ❤, I'm praying this morning that you are safe from any of this horrible flooding. May God Bless and keep everyone safe. Amen🙏

[@PatrickPoet]

I lived in the country too, as a young child, but I don't remember it ever being pitch dark. On a clear night, even without a moon it seemed bright from the stars, we could see pretty well unless we got deep under the trees. I don't remember it being silent like Corie said either , there was always the house creaking or the wind, or a critter rustling or something. I don't ever remember lying in bed at night and not hearing anything at all.

Birth to 11 We lived about 1 1/2 miles off of the highway. Porch and bath added when we were very little. Dad a farmer and mom a teacher stayed home from my birth to my sister in Kindergarten. With my mother her teacher. From 1st to 5th grades we stayed on the backside of our 340 acre farm. The summer of 5th grade we built house 800 feet from the paved Hwy on the front part of the farm. Always surrounded by faith family and friends.

You can't beat old pictures. I have taught my kids to take pictures and keep albums because it is easier to lose them digitally. I have lost several hard drives with gigabytes of pictures but still have my old albums of my old pictures :)

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s right! You can always count on these old pictures! And thank you so much!

[@Paul-io6cb]

Thanks for sharing with us. What a great family you were blessed to be a part of.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! 🙏💕

[@noahcount7132]

This video is beyond excellent! Corie, you mentioned that you and Katie were blessed to be born into a musical family. So true! Take that a step further, and your viewers, followers, and subscribers are blessed that you and Katie are carrying on your family's musical tradition and sharing it with us. The family album photos are priceless. Can't begin to thank you enough for sharing them.

[@thepressleygirls]

Hey thank you so much friend for all your love and support! God has just given us everything. We feel so undeserving but blessed!

[@johnnabuzby6103]

@@thepressleygirls Corie, when you showed that thre generation photo it brought back a memory of when my then husband and I, along with a ten month old Jonathan, had gone to his sister's wedding in Pennsylvania. He was in the Marines and was going to walk his sister down the aisle and give her away. At the reception, a photographer got a photograph of Five generations of my husband's family; his great grandma, his grandpa [we called him Pop Pop], his mother, my hubby and our son Jonathan. That's something to see I'll tell you.

[@lisao4250]

This was so sweet to hear how you feel about your blessed life with family , friends and accomplishments. I wish ya'll were my family ❤ Thankyou for the down to earth, humble and joy filled content you share with those of us willing to take the time to listen. Such a Blessing to me.😉

Your story of growing up reminds me so much of how I grew up so this video brings back a lot of memories. I am glad you have these picture to keep your memories at hand. Wishing you a wonderful rest of you life. You and Katie💕💕💕💕💕

[@greywolfoutdoorshomestead9962]

I grew up out in the sticks.the only nightly noises we heard was the peepers and crickets. I'm now living out in the country again

[@bonniericica6895]

I was raised in the country where at night you could hear the crickets and frogs chirping and miles down the road you could hear the train coming through the town next to us! So faint but comforting while I slept! We had a creek where I was always visiting daily as a child, looking for fossils, crawdads and collecting rocks! Neighbors had ponies and we use to rid them bareback through our creek beds and pretend we were explorers! Country life is the best indeed! I think you and Katie have a mixture of both you Mother and Father!

[@tinahuffman2788]

I grew up in a small town of about 1500. I still live here and it is only about 2000 in population. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else except Tennessee. I love that state. Family was always a big part of my life and I have tried to carry that on in my children. I am blessed beyond measure. I think you both look more like your momma. Loved getting to know y'all better!!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you friend! And yes we love living where we live too. Just so happy to have the land and the peace we have here. Tennessee is a beautiful place!

[@angelbby2222]

Easy to see where yourself and Katie get your beauty from. You are the image of your Mother.

[@epeterd]

I love your family. I can tell you've had a wonderful life growing up, and then you and Katie will eventually have kids who will get to grow up around there and get to play in your yard and learn music from you and your mom and uncle and continue the traditions. Such a beautiful place to grow up. I'm envious.

[@califtom]

I was raised in a rural part of Northern California so I can relate somewhat. I still have dreams about the house I grew up in.

[@sheilahackney6214]

You look so much like your Mama! Your sister does too but not as much as you! I've always thought your Mama was a pretty lady and I remember those 80 hair styles! She was so cute! I love looking at old family photos...they are so special to have. It is bitter sweet to move from your childhood home but so exciting to begin this new chapter in your life! And great that you won't be too far away!!👍💞

[@tonimactavish9937]

How lovely to see your parents when they were younger. Going down memory lane was a joy, more videos like this would be quite nice.

[@thepressleygirls]

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

I live that you showed the family photos and talking about music in your family for generations. Our family on mom's side always sang. My dad was in a quartet on the radio. That was a big thing back then My dad was born in 1941 and mom 1947. Like your family we listened to and sang gospel and bluegrass music. My mom passed almost 2 yrs ago. I think you look like your mom and Katie looks like your dad and mom.

[@CANADIANDRUMMER-j-u2x]

As a child, my sister and two brothers would play outside almost all the time as well. And Ms. Corie, I think you look exactly like your Mama.

[@adamsedenfarm6919]

I love this!!! The only sounds I like at night are the crickets,frogs, owls and cicadas , a night time serenade (and I love a whippoorwill but I don’t hear those much these days). The only light I want at night is the moon. I had a friend from the city come out to visit after my husband and I were first married and the first thing she said was it sure is dark out here because she was used to street lights.😂 I think it is so sweet that you and your sister embrace your upbringing and heritage, it makes me hopeful for the generations to come. This was a great video, thanks for sharing your memories!!!😊Oh and by the way the porch you mentioned that has the porch swing now, every time I see it in your’s or your mom’s videos I get homesick for my granny’s place, it looks just like I’m standing on her porch looking at the mountain beyond.

[@thelkabibb3774]

Oh my gosh! I have tears in my eyes... This is such a special treat to see these photos and you are so nice to share them. This is also a true gift for your parents. I know they are bursting with pride with you two young women. God is so good and He definitely had and has a plan for all of y’all. I can’t wait to see more of it unfold. I had s great childhood abso. Too many good country experiences to tell here, but one thing my daddy did was giv eus the gift of travel and learning how to live off the land and be grateful for all we were given. How to use our hands to make a living snd be self sufficent. I know you look like your mama to me. I think i see both in y’all. I’m so thankful her pregnancy went well and I can’t imagine what a blessing yalll were when you came along Thank you and now we have Austin in the family to watch in the videos. I love seeing the videos with your granny. She’s so sweet and love her abilities to crochet. Love hearing her speak

[@letscleanhouse]

My mama was a Wilson before she married. Our family was and is a musical family. Gospel bluegrass is a tradition for us. It’s not a holiday or a get together without music❤️

[@shelialewis111]

You can adapt to any sleep condition, When I was an older teenager my family lived across the street from the emergency room of a hospital in Durham, N.C.. This took some getting used to. My parents bought land out in the country and built a house, there wasn't anyone around them for at least a mile. First night was sooo creepy. There was no light and a fox screamed . Never heard that sound before and me and my mom met each other in the hallway. I adapted to the dark also.

[@dscobellusa]

I've lived in both city and country. I love the quiet of country. When I had to move back to a city I felt like I was being assaulted by all the noise, particularly emergency vehicle sirens and helicopters. I wasn't born in a musical family, but other branches of the family were and so a love of music seem to have been passed to kids not exposed to it in the immediate family. I love seeing the pictures and hearing the story of the house you grew up in. I grew up in a John F. Long home in Arizona. He was a builder who earned a name for innovative, practical and economical home design in the 1940's -1960's. I did like that home. Thanks for your wonderful videos.

I teared up when you were telling about when your parents found out there was two of you guys❤️....I love that you shared pics and memories with us. Y’all’s home is definitely beautiful. I really like how the garden is now. I call your mama “Mama Tipper” around my house “oh I learned that from Mama Tipper”...I’m saving some bacon grease next time I cook so that I can fry my corn like she does. Thanks for sharing with us Corey❤️

We are so blessed. We love momma and daddy so much it hurts. Also I’m gonna tell my momma that, it will make her smile! Thank you so much for being here with us on the journey!

[@MysticHeather]

You know I’ve never met another soul that had a childhood like mine, obviously I knew they had to exist but until today I’ve never come across one. My dad is a bluegrass musician and so was my uncle, they practiced in our basement constantly and usually at night. I fell asleep to the sounds of their music and singing my whole childhood and those are memories I will cherish forever. There is nothing like it. When I tell people “my family is made of music” they never understand what I mean unless they too grew up like I did which has yet to happen. My brother wrote his first song when he was five. I didn’t learn as a child because my dad wanted me to play fiddle and I was jealous of my brother who was playing guitar.. idk why.. I think even at such a young age I didn’t wanna be pigeonholed into the “girl instrument” lol god how I wish I hadn’t been that way 🤦🏻‍♀️ after an extremely early retirement from my dream career due to health issues I finally had the time as an adult to learn how to play. Not long after that my uncle passed and I inherited his antique fiddle that I cherish dearly. I also inherited another of his fiddles but the antique one is the one he played all the time and the one I play all the time. There is nothing that can compare to the experience of growing up in a family like mine or yours and the folk music of our mountains is a huge part of what makes that special. Music is in my blood, it is a part of every part of my life and I wouldn’t trade that for anything in all the world. Thank you for sharing its nice to see someone who knows what this life of music is 💖 Oh my gosh I know what you mean about the old square body chevys. I have my dads 97 Silverado but I’d love to have an older one too

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s so cool that you grew up in a musical family as well! You are right, it’s kinda hard to explain to someone who didn’t. I’m so glad you have his fiddle and enjoy playing it! ❤️🎻

[@dlg3389]

I was also blessed to be born into a musical family. (My paternal) Grandmother (born in 1910) told us one of her earliest memories was going to her (maternal) grandparents' house very often. They also lived "up in the hills & hollers" of northern Middle Tennessee. After a big meal they'd always play music & sing. Grandmother was around 3 yrs old & remembered going into a bedroom where there was a big feather bed with something lying on top of it. She said she stretched up as far as she could & saw that the whole bed was full of instruments.

[@trutsieo5430]

I was raised like you where the house was secluded, dark, & quiet at night in WV. When we married, we moved into an apartment in Charlottesville, VA. I didn’t like it. We moved back to WV a lil’ over a year later into a rental by the main road. I grew used to traffic. We had to move back to VA about 10 years due to economic reasons. We bought a house but it definitely is not like I was raised. It was so hard for me to come “out of the mountains” that I loved. I am very happy for you & Austin. You’ll get to start out fairly close to your family. You’ll be able to have some privacy but still stay close. Wish you love & prayers. 💕

[@0Hillbilly]

I grew up in a holler in rural West Virginia, pitch black, crickets, frogs, whippoorwills, owls and all the sounds of the night woods. Then I joined the army and went into a barracks bay with 39 other men snoring and lights. I slept about an hour a night for the first week. As for who you look like, I think you look like granny when she was young. I enjoyed seeing your family photos. God Bless.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you for watching! I sometimes think I look like her too when she was young. Wow, it would be hard to sleep with 39 other people near, but Thank You Kindly For Your Service. God bless! 🥰💕🙏

[@kimberlyholt2241]

You are right, growing up & moving on your own IS bittersweet! The best thing you can own is a piece of land. My parents, brother & I moved frm pillar to post bc we had no land. Y'all are blessed. And I think y'all favor your Moma.🤗

[@DFDuck55]

Old photographs are precious. Over the years I had moved so many times, and been homeless a few times, and somewhere along the way lost most of my photos. It used to be you might have one or a handful of photos of your relatives. But we're coming to a time when people will pull out "hundreds" of selfie photos their grandmother took of herself. --- The one and only thing I have always managed to hang on to through the years is a little white porcelain duck with a red hat that was given to me when I was 7 years old. I had never seen another like it then I found an identical one for sale on etsy. And after telling the woman about the one I had for for so many years she sent me the one she had at no charge, even though I was willing to pay what she was asking. So I got two identical porcelain ducks given to me 53 years apart from each other. Almost 15 years later and I still have never seen another like these two. They are the one thing I own that I want to make sure my children (twins) get when I pass on.

[@onecryinginthewilderness5658]

My wife loves the city. I love the country and feel at home in the woods. Needless to say we live in the city. It is a small city. I do not mind. I love my wife so what she feels the most comfortable is the most important to me.

[@bluesriderDF]

I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia. There was noise, trains, street lights, all kinds of stuff. We had a vacation house in the Pocono mountains of northeast PA. I always loved it there.When I was 18 I realized I hated living near the city. I ended up moving to the Poconos and marrying my wife and we have lived here ever since. At night I love complete silence and total darkness! You definitely are blessed to have a musical family. I have a large family but no one else plays music. 😠

I moved to the country (though on a major highway) when I was 10. My Daddy and me worked on an old shotgun house that hasn't been occupied since the depression. It was a pretty old thing. When we moved there the house had never been plumbed. So, we adapted it to a three bedroom, two bath, adding a utility room and eventally we filled in the well out back.

Amazing, my husband and I was building a house from 95 and moved in 96. My husband built it. We helped. I was raised in the city right on the main street. I came to the country kicking and screaming ( just a saying) I would go back to the city the same way. I love the country now. That picture is 4 generations. Unless I misunderstood you.

Played guitar, in my younger days I played bass in church. Now that I got older I don't play anymore, my guitar stays in the closet these days. I do miss the days playing music with the family. Today's music is not music to me just my opinion. The music you and family plays is the music I connect with. Keep on keeping on. God bless.

It's nice to stroll down memory lane time to time. We left Swain County. NC around 93 and moved to north Ga after our house burned down. Up to that point it was some of my most memorable years.

Congratulations to y'all. I pray the blessings continue to rain down on you and yours. It's going to be a ride I promise you that. Thank you for sharing.

[@bonniefordahl7065]

What a sweet tribute to your parents and family. The love just comes through. Great that you were surrounded by extended family. So many today rarely see grandparents or aunts and uncles. Timeless heritage and its wonderful that you treasure it. Think you two are a good combination of both your Mom and Dad with a tad more of your Mom. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️

[@priola7587]

Thank you for sharing your memories and photos. So many feelings come up at times like this, moving out, starting a major new chapter in your life. Well, first I just have to acknowledge those 90s dresses. My nieces all over again! Oh my. You both look like your momma. Thank goodness, because those 90s mustaches give me the shudders. 😉. I grew up outside town, with hills to roam in, and back in those days we could be gone till dinner time. Forts, of course. Swimming in Lake Coeurd’Alene. Collecting the old glass telephone insulators from the power lines. We did not have musicians, but did take some lessons. We did sing in the car with dad though. Lol. Hey, have a wonderful day!

[@mikemanjo2458]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I can relate to Austin. My Dad was a preacher and we moved around growing up. When my husband and I got married, after a couple years, we moved out to the country. One night, I got up and noticed there was a light left on outside...making shadows in the house. I started walking around trying to find the light that was left on...nothing! At last, I realized it was the Moon!!! Who knew a full moon was that bright! That's what happens when you grow up in town!😆 Thanks for sharing these precious pictures and family history. They are treasures, for sure. You do take after your Mom, and I'm sure you favor your Dad, too. Thanks for this, Corie. I'm sure it tickled your Mom and Dad for you to take time to do this. You are so much more mature and thoughtful than I was at your age. Love you so much! (Jane in SC ❤️🙏)

Thanks for sharing. This is a great way to recall memories but think about a diary with memories. My grandfather played the fiddle. I went back through his diary and noted the square dances he played, the morning and evening events and the weather. My grandfather left notes in his fiddle case. The fiddles he owned and the cost...the play list of square dances As for my grandmother, I was left her peoples photos and many are blank on the back. Sometimes the back has odd notes....like so, and so's neice. It has been interesting to try and write the family history.

You are indeed lucky-- and even more lucky to know that you are lucky! Growing up on your own farm or ranch is an indescribably wonderful thing --- if one has not had the privileged there is almost no way you can describe the special feelings you have for every little familiar place you get to know on your land -- in my case our land was native prairie near North Dakota/Montana and Saskatchewan intersections. We and our cousins would find native American artifacts -- arrowheads and tomahawks etc any day we wanted to. There one high hill on our land that had huge boulders near the top -- that overlooked miles of prairie below -- it was such a thrill to sit there looking at the vista and knowing that Sioux or the Crow there so long ago had probably found that high plains lookout as thrilling and important for their security we did. Yes you are lucky to live the way you have -- I had to make my own music thing though! 😂🤣😂 So you REALLY be lucky!!

Thank you, sounds like you grew up in such a neat place! ☺️🙏

@@thepressleygirls 😀 I loved every little hidden corner of our ranch lands -- I keep thinking of "Who will watch the home place"

We have bunches of album's, but you're right people don't develop film anymore : ( My first job ever was a professional camera operator for Olan Mills Portrait Studio in the church division, I traveled all over texas and arkansas some louisiana doing album's for the church and family portraits for the church members, it was the blast! Making that kind of money in the early 90's was unheard of unless you had degree

I too grew up in a wonderful family. We rode our bikes and played in the creek. Built forts in the woods and put down moss for carpet. We would pick wild strawberries and put them in baby food jars like we were canning. It’s so nice to have all those memories. Thank you so much for sharing yours. I think y’all look like your momma. 🥰

[@thepressleygirls]

Those are some sweet memories, especially about the strawberries! Thanks for watching! 🥰🙏💕

I love photo albums too. The memories! 🤗

[@janicenichols7271]

I grew up in the country but not secluded, but very dark and I was afraid to step outside at night...I live in the city for past 35 years and I actually prefer having close neighbour's and streetlights...we still have lots of critters around at night and have to keep an eye out when stepping out at night...my street is fairly quiet and not busy at all so very little traffic at night...your Mom and Dad's house and property is beautiful...your and Austin's house is very awesome with the back decks...loved this video!

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s interesting! Thank you for sharing!

Sweet video!!! I am a photo junkie, and love doing genealogy, - family history is so very important...I grew up out in the county with very few neighbors, a creek behind the house (much like your story, my Dad was a carpenter and built the house I grew up in!), an old railroad track - we explored for hours in the spring, summer and fall, and the big part of the creek would freeze in the winter so we ice skated (northern IL), had forts among the sumac in the fields...absolutely loved it and miss it! One of my siblings bought the house from my Mom, but then sold the house and moved...it was, and is still so strange to drive by the house and not know who lives there - but the memories are still alive! Your family is very blessed and it is great to see that you and Katie, as well as your Mom and Dad keeping traditions alive! Thank you so much for sharing and blessing us with your posts! Have an awesome day!

I enjoyed your family pictures and memories. It goes to show how important it is to keep making those photo albums (and write the names/dates on the back). Digital photos just aren't the same. Get them printed and create some lasting memories, for generations to come. ❤️
