Finally, right?! I’m slacking on this blogging thing. Everyone’s asking “are you in yet?” and “we want photos”. I’ll admit, there are too many other amazing fun distractions to decorate and organize that keep the postings postponed. Plus, I always forget to take photos.
So, I’ll make it short, sweet and mostly visual. We’ve had a whirlwind week of unpacking, organizing, building fences, 
inspections and sign offs, finishing the pool, and adding five laying hens to our little homestead. My husband has been working crazy hard on all of the outside projects. Little by little, everything is coming together. It’s hard to take photos when a room isn’t finished–because of course I want you to see only the final product(!), so for now, I’ll just show the move-in day photos, and a sneak peak at some of the finished areas. There’s so much to do, but it’s so. much. fun! If only this other work/kids/meetings thing didn’t get in the way 😉
To say that we are happy is an understatement. It still feels like a dream to all of us. Sometimes I walk into a room and just smile, because it’s like a photo in my head has become real. We are beyond blessed. Oh, and the trailer? Still not totally unpacked. Would love to just light a match and throw it over the fence, but if we plan to sell it, that’s probably not a good decision. A couple few armloads a day- for the kids.
There are a multitude of projects left to do and so details still to share. My creativity is starting to flow again. This weekend will be yet another huge milestone– we will be taking down the carport, I hope, at least that’s the plan, again. As amazing as it all is now, I can’t wait to see the transformation once that structure isn’t obstructing the house or the view. We plan to re-use some of the structure for an animal shelter down in the pasture. My parents arrive next Sunday, and we already have a list for my dad to help us with!
