moving to the wicked country

That's right, we are crossing the border and moving to Vermont in two months!  Thank goodness this move will be for at least a year- I am tired of the packing and unpacking... but I think this place will be a much better fit for us...Aaron knew the search (which never really amounted to a search as this was the first house we looked at) was all over when we pulled into the driveway and in the back there was a barn with a horse in a paddock...and a landlord that said "this is wicked country out here, you'll love it" five times.   We will have the luxury of a large garden space, the thumbs up on chickens and a dog, and a dead end road surrounded by forest.  Yes this is all very exciting and we are starting to research our plans for a chicken coop, how many chickens to get, should we get a thanksgiving turkey too?, what veggies we will grow and all the fun we will have this summer.

By now you might just be thinking...(like my husband)...so what about the house?  I suppose it could have been a teepee and I would have been ok with it...but not so much Aaron.  The house has been newly renovated with two bedrooms, one which has a loft play space, kitchen (with a gas stove!), full bath, living, dining room and a sunroom.  The sunroom is large enough and heated so will double as a guest room for when you all come to visit us!  So while we had started to entertain the idea of buying a house in order to have a garden, dog and chickens...this will do just fine until we are really ready to buy..... whenever that might be.

sooo excited for the move...and chickens!
