And Now You Know!!!

Now that the cat is officially and completely out of the bag, welcome to our new blog!!!  We hope you enjoy our posts, rants, comments, and photos.  The plan is to eventually have a working family farm that will provide much of our food needs.  Not all but a lot!  We're planning to get chickens later this summer and maybe some cows next year.  Daughter wants a bunny and Youngest wants his pony.  The older boys are wanting things like a tree swing and a pool.  Plus plans for gardens and other animals.  Lots of trial and hopefully limited error!  And you can see how it's all going right here!
As to current goings-on, the inspection last week went very well!  There were a few things that must be done before closing and we are waiting on the sellers to see what they are willing to take on.  The rest of the comments on the inspection were suggestions such as water temperature and such.  Plus, the inspector was really great.  He was willing to check out anything we asked of him in addition to all the things he was required to do.  He explained some things, pointed out stuff of interest, and kept us well-informed throughout the entire three hour inspection!  Whew!  But everything in the house is solid and up to code (except for those few things mentioned).  And those aren't even anything super huge!  But we're going through the VA, and they're quite a bit pickier than most conventional lenders.  So now we're down to four weeks til closing!  We're actually hoping to move that date up a bit as my mother and I will be travelling to Florida.  The day after closing.  Gulp! But we're hopeful that will all work out.  So all in all, June will be a pretty exciting month!  Especially, since a dear, dear friend of mine (a sister of the heart!) will be coming to visit right before closing!  That's going to be a super busy week!!!
Again, thanks for stopping by!  And thank you to my FB friends for all of the congratulations and well wishes!  We look forward to sending out the invite to our first party in our new home!  Someday soon... Hopefully!  Have a great day!
