The winding staircase that needs to be completely re-done..The front entryway.

Also needing a lot of work.The aqua paint color is kinda in style right now though….. We just found out that we’ll be able to do a walk through the house tomorrow while we’re in town seeing our lawyer, which we did not expect at all.We’re also going to have some more amazing weather this weekend, so we can’t very well.

go to the lake, right?.I’ll be back on Monday with all the updates!Here’s where the story of how we came to live in our house starts..

the field across the street, now that the wheat is all harvested.Last night it seemed like they were finally done their big job..

These fields are endless and they’re my favorite place to watch the sunset, although last night I was out a bit early to catch it..Some kind of root vegetable is growing here but what, I don’t know.
