Merry Christmas!

It has been too long, but after a pep talk by my family to keep blogging here we are again! My favorite part of Christmas is getting cards from all of our family and friends. It reminds me that over the years we have assembled a diverse team, though we don't see them often, who support and love each other. We love you all and we wish you a happy holiday season and an epic 2015!

So now for a little bit of catch up on the blog. My computer can only handle a small number of pictures for some reason, but I will do my best to reenact the last several months!

Here is a project we lovingly call the little cabin. This house is next door to our other cabin and when it came on the market we impulsively snatched it up! Why...investment, rental potential, more room to host, retire there :) It is a huge project as you can see from the pictures. What you can't see in the pictures is that this home was sinking into the earth. Cory has jacked it up about 10-12 inches, poured over a hundred bags of concrete under it for footings, replaced huge portions of the house that was rotten, and we have tackled some termite damage as well, oh joy! How do we get ourselves into these messes? Well, for some reason we enjoy it - I love working on projects - it tests your patience and your mind. It is so challenging, but so rewarding at the end. We have definitely had our moments of weakness on this house...'we should just tear it down'. But We know in the end we will have a cute little house in the woods to enjoy and no loan. So we keep plugging away. Here is a little taste of it...

The best part of the cabin is the beauty that runs through our back yard, we are hooked on the view:)
