Update!!

I have not posted on this blog for a really long time. To be honest, I forgot about it. So I guess it is time for a huge update on our life!! A LOT has changed in the last year and a half.

In the spring of 2014, my husband and I decided that we wanted a small house to call our own. Houses now are built so big that even at a small price per square foot, they are still very expensive to buy, maintain, and heat and cool. Plus a lot of time cleaning, which we did not want to do. Originally we thought that we would build a tiny house on a trailer. We even bought an older camper and demolished it to use the trailer (it was a good trailer). Just a couple of months after that, in July 2014, we found that someone we know was selling a small house (600 s.f. plus basement and porch) on a large lot so we jumped on it. We had to do a lot of work but we signed the paperwork in August 2014 and moved in on October 1st, 2014.

When we got the house, there was no flooring in most of the rooms. We had to put in carpet and deep clean the whole house. And spray for spiders. There was also a hole in the porch roof. It was just a covered porch with a separate roof than the rest of the house and the roof was rotted so we tore it down.

A few days before we moved in, we got a major surprise. We were pregnant! I have a condition called an incompetent cervix so I had to take it easy for the entire pregnancy. We didn't get much done, except clean up the yard this year. We still have some cosmetic things to do inside the house, and outside we have to trim a tree and replace the roof. We also want to repaint the house, put up a new roof over the porch, and spray for weeds in the yard.

We had our baby at the beginning of June in 2015. He is now almost 4 months old! It is so crazy how time flies! I am going to film a tour of our house. It's only 5 rooms, so it won't be much, but I've been meaning to get it done, and I will! I promise!

I will be updating more as we continue the repairs around the house.
