Hello there friends. I am having a hard time blogging because I am so focused/excited/scared right now. We found THE HOUSE. I almost can't believe it exists....perfect size house only 10 years old on 5 gorgeous acres (3 acres open, 2 fenced and currently housing chickens, goats, dogs, cats, miniature horses and whatever wildlife passes by like deer, foxes and bunnies) and UNDER our budget. It's only a 15 minuted drive for Bruce to work and a 10 min. ride to the local schools for Griffin. I had the chills as we first pulled into the driveway. The family that lives there now is lovely and happy and will leave behind good energy for us. Anyways, we are waiting on our mortgage approval (very complicated because we still own the house in Michigan, Bruce's student loans and a career change) so we can't actually make an offer yet but are hoping by the end of the day today, maybe........
Anyways, I will let you all know, and post some pictures of the house as soon as we find out it is ours.
In other news, we had a great weekend. The Moms came down to check out our new digs and get some playtime in with the wee Griffin. We took them to a city about an hour away called Grand Rivers, KY. It is a tiny town comprised of many antique stores that surround Patti's 1800's Settlement. This place is crazy, made up of gorgeous gardens, a courtyard with a great playground, petting zoo and gorgeously landscaped miniature golf course and many little stores overflowing with overpriced baubles and trinkets. The main attraction, of course, is the restaurant. We sampled all of their "specialties" including the pork chops, flower pot bread and mile high meringue pie (seriously, 8-10 inches of meringue... was there a huge demand for such a absurdity?).
It was a fun day that ended with us all getting soaked as we stubbornly finished our game of mini golf in a torrential downpour (I'll admit it, I ducked out at the 12th hole and found a swing on a covered porch to enjoy until the rest of the gang were done golfing.)
It was a good day, and a terrific weekend. We miss the short hour drive to the Moms' house often!
