This may be the most exciting key I’ve ever held in my hand. Possibly more exciting than the key to the first apartment Scott and I lived in.
Since there are so many of you who love hearing about the farm house, I thought I may do a weekly update. Work has started on it, and I’m thrilled. And still nervous. Until we are moved in, I think there will always be some hesitancy that something could fall through.
Currently, this cute little half bath is empty. The floor is ripped up. The farmer discovered that there had been a leak for years that he was unaware of. The floor was badly rotting. He’s going to re-do the plumbing and modernize it because it was pretty old.
He has also started filling in the holes in the walls so that we can start painting. This week has been a busy one away from the farm house. We have a lot of activities going on– along with my work schedule. We only made it over to the house on Sunday. I asked my parents if they wanted to come and see it in person, and it was fun to show them around. My mom is my go-to person when it comes to home. We had such a warm and loving atmosphere in our home growing up, and I want my home to feel the same way.
It was nice to look at it all again and see where we should start first. I also went down in the root cellar. I should have taken my camera, but didn’t. There are three deep and wide shelves full of empty mason jars. It was beautiful. One day, I hope that Scott and I can go over without the kiddos so that we can actually have conversations without being interrupted.
I know that’s not much of an update, but it’s the only one I’ve got. All good things take time.
