I'm baaaaa-aaaaaack!

And you thought you could be rid of my Amish posts! Ha! It's only just begun!

I have had a busy couple of months, you see. I suffered a miscarriage early in September and spent a lot of time dealing with that. Then, at the end of September, we FINALLY got an offer accepted on a house and moved in! It was an experience 3 years in the making. We had decided to settle for a normal tract house, a starter home, if you will, but as things turned out, we got everything we wanted and more! We now reside on a lot of .68 acres with about 40 fruit trees, a barn, AND a guest house! Our dreams have finally come true.

We are truly thankful we had the patience and the means to hold out for what we really wanted. And we are thankful the Lord answered our prayers and then some.

The adventures have already begun and we've only been here 2 weeks. Our chickens have been gnawed on, we got some new baby chicks, and we've got old pipes breaking all over the yard. Not to mention all the galvanized steel piping from when our property was all grapefruit groves (which we are afraid to touch since we heard it could crumble into dust if you mess with it).

Let the fun begin!

P.S. Expect a lot of turkey posts. It is Thanksgiving, you know...
