Here we go...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”   ~ Mark Twain

This is the story of a family.  A family consisting of Big City Girl, Country Lovin' Boy, and 3 Tiny Farmers.  The family decided to do what many dream of but most are scared to do.  They sold their classy and comfortable suburban home and bought a 100 year old farmhouse on a grand 9 acres of land in the....middle of nowhere.

Yep, that's me....Big City Girl headed to a one horse town, a map dot, a country road.  Just following my Country Lovin' Boy into the perpetual unknown and taking the rest of my menagerie of little boys and pets along for the ride. 

So this is the beginning.  I suppose this will be the chronicling of what will very well be the biggest adventure of our life.

Our new house was built over a century ago and is in need of some good loving before we can move in.  And when I say good loving I mean the down and dirty, rip roarin', wall smashin' kind.  In addition to completely gutting the kitchen and two bathrooms, we have to bring all the floors back to their original glory, change the cracked and drafty windows, install lights upstairs (remember I told you it's old?), and the list goes on.  Pictures to follow shortly.  Anyhow, the old girl will have new life breathed into her and her walls will be the backdrop for years of new memories. 

Here we go!
