My husband and I just recently gave up city life for a
little bit of earth in the country. We were house shopping for over three years
and while I preferred to live in suburbia, he insisted on the country. When we
bought this beautiful home it was a big change for me. I gave up my job to stay
home with our girls, ages 4 and 6. We have been here for 9months
now and I am still adjusting to country life.
This is our 'new' old house. It was built in 1920, there are two
outbuildings, it sits on almost five acres, and is just on the
outskirts of a little town. This town features a two room school, k-8th, a post
office, a church, and the old school building is used as a community center,
community church, and a museum.
We have many plans to fix up this old place, but for now we are just
enjoying what this house and town have to offer. One thing's for sure life is
alot less stressful out here and I now have time to spend with my kids, read
books, and try new things.
Life is good!
