Not a great picture of our home, but the only one I could find.

It has always been our dream to own some land, not much, but more than we currently have.  I has seemed like something that was always going to be far away, out of our reach.

But not so, anymore.

The shed/chicken coop in the back yard. I have enjoyed finding ways to grow food on a small plot of land.

After some direct prompting, looking hard at our finances and what the houseing market is like, we have made the plunge. In ten days our house will offically go on the market.  We are selling, and looking for something new, something a little big bigger and some land, where we can really “homestead”.

The year this picture was taken we harvested one hundred pounds of carrots.

We have had mixed reactions from the children, and I will admit to some mixed feelings myself.  This is our first home, we have been here 11 years and added five children to out family, on of which was actually born here.  However, I am excited for new adventures.  We will be able to garden like crazy people, have livestock and a dog.

Getting ready to plant raspberries, I will miss those, but plan on planting more at our new home.

Here’s to new adventures, prayers that our home will sell, that we will find a place to put down our roots and to dreams coming true.

Many memories….
