I like right-now.

The front entryway.Also needing a lot of work.

The aqua paint color is kinda in style right now though….. We just found out that we’ll be able to do a walk through the house tomorrow while we’re in town seeing our lawyer, which we did not expect at all.We’re also going to have some more amazing weather this weekend, so we can’t very well.go to the lake, right?.

I’ll be back on Monday with all the updates!Here’s where the story of how we came to live in our house starts.. Well, no, I guess it starts back about a year ago when we decided to leave our life in the big city behind and move our little family of three back to my husband Chris’s hometown.Then there’s the part where we bought the big ol’ farmhouse out in the country, right near Gramma’s house so our 6-year-old daughter Kennedy can see her everyday if she likes..

But now’s the fun part; the part where we move in and get to work tearing apart walls, uncovering history and renovating our own home exactly how we want it, just for us.

It’s about a simpler life, adventures in the country, and creating roots for ourselves and future members of our family.. Come along for the ride!I just can’t get enough of the corn.. We’re very unhappy to see our creek looking like this.

The city came in and sprayed for frogs and cat tails a couple of weeks ago.Next year we’ll be planting all along the creek so they can’t access it.

Don’t they know how great cat tails are for Fall decorating?.I can’t wait to look back on all these pictures in a few months when everything is so different and remember what it looked like during our first month here.. What do you do to mark the changing of the season?This is our barn.. Well, no.
