Hi, I am getting real excited for two reasons. At the end of this month I am planning a trip to visit my aunt. Many reasons for the excitement: seeing my aunt; going somewhere I have never been and flying! This trip was planned last November. At that time the end of February seemed a long way out. Next week I’ll start planning on what to pack- Arizona weather will be much nicer than Kansas weather!
My next source of excitement is so surreal. Almost afraid to type it out- do not wish to jinx it. Kevin and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this summer. Wow- exciting, but this is not what I was referring to when I said “jinx” :). This week we have an appointment with the bank to begin the process of buying a new to us home.
Old Farm House
It’s an old farm house- electrical and structural rennovations were recently updated. When Kevin goes to check on his girls, this is where they are. He has been leasing the ground for our cattle for the past several years. The current homeowners are retiring and have decided to move south. I am having fun looking on Pinterest for creative ideas for storage and decorating. Now when I see bookshelves I have new inspirations.
We will have three spare bedrooms: one guestroom; one office/spare room and the smallest of the three will be made into a changing room/closest. I have been crawling the internet for ideas. Pretty much decided for the office/spare room the bed base will be made from bookshelves.
What I am not looking forward to is the actual move. Twenty six years of stuff to sort through- purging!
Where and how does one even begin? Post your comment below- suggestions welcomed!
Best Wishes,

How very exciting! A new home! I must admit that I hate moving and hope I never have to do it again because my husband is a pack rat! He won’t throw anything away! We’ve been in our home for 11 years now and hope we never move again. But good luck!
Thank you!
Oh what a beautiful old house…enjoy the process, just one step at a time : )
Thanks Deb!
Girl, that is my kind of house. We live in an old farm house and every time I think about leaving it, I feel sick. You have my sympathy with going through all those years. I will enjoy watching how you will save space.
Hi Kimberly- it’s funny how you commented about watching how I will save space. I found software with interior design makeovers. Oh yes!
