Moving

It's been a while since I posted, huh? Well, I have good reason! Really! ;)

I've been waiting to make an announcement because anything can go wrong at any time, but now it seems like it's really gonna happen. We're moving! Yea! And we close on Monday! We're staying in the same town, just changing addresses. Here is a picture of our new abode.



It was built in 1912 and is definitely a fixer-upper. However, the previous owners have done a lot of work--the big "have-to" things that are really expensive--like plumbing, electric, roof, windows, sewer, etc....It sits on about an acre of land, and this is one of my favorite things about the house:



A nice view of a wheat field across the road. Although it is ironic, thought...living across from all that wheat and being gluten-intolerant. Wheat, wheat everywhere nor any drop to eat...lol!

We've been able to work in there a little this week stripping paint and repairing cracks in the plaster walls. I've got a lot of ideas, but we'll just do whatever work we have time and money for, and work on it slowly over the next few years.

Anyway, as you can imagine, we have been terribly busy. And we will continue to be so for a while, I imagine. I'll try to post some more pictures and I'm hoping to post updates of our DIY work!
