The end is near.......

Yes, that title sounds ominous, but it's not quite what you think. We are getting close to the closing on our house here in South Dakota! Maybe, they keep coming up with last minute things that are really beginning to aggravate us and our sellers. So far, today was the last hoop, I think and we should be moving in this week!!!! Finally.
I can't wait to get into the house, I just road tripped to Colorado to pick up my antique Chambers stove. She's a buttercup yellow and in great condition. I can't wait to get her hooked up and start cooking.
There is so much to do yet. Spring is coming here to the Black Hills, but I have been assured that there will be one more good blizzard in April to look forward to. I can't wait to start the garden, there is a nice size plot on the side of the house where she gardened. I also need to get chickens and get our horses here. So much to do and so little time.
Well, until after we close, when I can get pictures on here for you all....

Ah, New Year New Place New Beginnings!

It's truly a start to the new year for me. My husband and I took a leap and up and moved to South Dakota. I had lived in Kansas for basically my entire life, oh, I had travelled and seen other places, but I never had the nerve to really pull up stakes and move to a unknown city. We were leaving a wonderful life and spectacular friends and neighbors, but the adventure was calling me in the back of my head. We knew the kids who suffer from eczema and asthma would do better there, plus who doesn't want to see Mt. Rushmore everyday?

Job one was to get our house in Kansas sold. Well, we put it on the market and waited. And waited, and then waited a little more. We found nice renters for the place and were able to leave the chickens and barn cats in their charge. We also found a nice home in Custer, SD to rent while the search for the perfect home commenced! Well, maybe perfect is a far stretch, but at least one with no major renovations to deal with.

We're excited to have a new start in a beautiful place that we're happy to call home.
