i like to complain a lot about our situation. i'm not saying it doesn't suck sometimes, but i am immensely blessed at the same time. i have a husband with broad shoulders that can carry my load when i cannot. i have three beautiful boys who keep me busy and feeling needed and loved, and who are a never-ending source of entertainment. i have friends who remind me to focus on God and good when i am so distracted by the awful moments, and friends who give me a roof over my head.
in the moments in between, we have been making cookies (i highly reccommend these. we use white whole wheat flour.), knitting up a storm(i REALLY need to have a knitwear photo shoot and share it with you), marching through the woods and around the pond here in our boots, frequenting itunes(preordered the new iron and wine!!!!) and pandora, and getting LOTS of sugar from Gideon(he has huge cheeks these days which means there's plenty of cheek kissing to go around).
so about the new house. i have come to the conclusion that nothing in my life is EVER certain and as soon as one part/thing is fixed, another will break, usually at the most inconvenient and embarrassing moment. monday night we put in an offer on that farmhouse. we haven't heard anything yet, but that doesn't mean anything, because there are multiple siblings that inherited this property who have to agree on our offer. i'm not gonna lie. it have potential to be very awesome. we are definitely waiting to see what a home inspection shows(the house was built in 1875). the 13 acres is really the main appeal. it's perfect for the farming we want to do(the point being to become self sustainable or as close to it as we can get). so i'm trying very hard not to emotionally move in. if this doesn't work out we have our eye on a log cabin on 8 acres. we'll see. if we're meant to be there, the details will be worked out. here's a sneak peek:
he looks pretty good walking through that kitchen...
i think it might get a facelift along the lines of this or these IF it becomes mine :)

Both kitchen remodels are very pretty but the second link seems to have a bit more of a 1875 feel to it.
And yes, you are loved and blessed and you don't complain too much and even if you did you have some right to do so.
oh the in-between! hoping and praying you get the right house and bryan gets a job :)
btw- i would love to see your knitting projects!
