Lookin' off the patio

Here's my current view off my back patio.


Oh, the suburbs. It's like I could just reach out and stick my hand into their kitchen if I wanted to.

Here's the new view off the back.

Yeah, there's houses back there. Way, way, way back there. But you have to walk across half an acre, plus a pretty dense wooded area to find them. I can have chickens here! I could even have a horse if I became insane and decided to buy a horse! And the beauty of it all is that it's only a mile away from my current house. Christopher doesn't have to change schools, Ashley doesn't have to change preschools, and we can stay close to the trappings of civilization that I've become so accustomed to. *cough*Starbucks*cough.


What's that? A barn? No, that's actually Matthew's new digs until he leaves for the Navy on March 1. More pics of the inside of that later, it's pretty cool. Especially if you're 19 and need a little space.

And here's my new screened in patio.


Imagine the possibilities. The previous owners had a hot tub out there at one point.

Coming soon, kitchen photos!
