here comes a visible horizon
We
bought a house! It's tiny, but it's all my dreams come true- over a hundred years old,
original hardwood, apple tree swing, raspberry and rose bushes
everywhere, huge fenced-in garden,three minutes from my sister. We
started about ten projects simultaneously when we moved in and
everything is in disarray, hence the strategically cropped pictures. It is so fun, though. Nobody told me how wonderful having a backyard would be. It's the best!
And instead of begging my children not to run and jump or the neighbors
will be mad, I absolutely command them to run and jump everywhere. They
go outside and swing a little, then smell the flowers a little, then
poke at some bugs, then run to check the mail.
Anyway, excuse the bragging. It's been eight years in the making so I'm forgiven, right?

Your house is perfect. Love having you close! Who else wants to move here? Sarah? Amye? Diana? Jessica?
Congratulations! I live in a tiny cottage house too, though only 76 years old. I love thinking of the many happy families that have occupied it over the years.
Enjoy! Old houses are always a project. :o)
I can't wait to see it in person! ;-) Maybe when the kids get out of school.

Congratulations!
I'm terribly excited and happy for you!!! Can't wait to see it later this month.
Brag away my friend!! I never want a big house. I'm so glad all your dreams are coming true. Raspberry bushes? Come on now.
it sounds like a dream come true. You completely deserve it so completely enjoy it and don't worry about bragging.
I could soap box about bragging, so I'll try to be short.
Everyone has bad things in life. we need to be happy together with the good. Being happy when good things happen is not bragging. People who think so need to stop being jealous and start being happy. Life is too short to not enjoy it. It's even more fun to enjoy it with each other.
Abby! I'm so happy for you guys:)! I can't wait to see it after you touch it with a bit of your Abby magic. Congratulations!!!
it's perfect. saw it. loved it! pretty jealous.
I am so happy for you!!! We bought our first house after 12 years and it is ALL it is cracked up to be. Have fun settling in!
