We have officially 45 days of school left.
I think I am way more excited then my 6 year old and 4 year old.
I think I am more excited then when I was in school- and I never really enjoyed school.
The drive to and from town is not fun for me. It makes me very nauseous on the hills to drive back and forth several times a day. Fortunately, I only have 3 days a week that I end up with multiple trips. Thanks to some pretty awesome neighbors that help with transportation.
BUT, in 45 days...I will get a 3 month break from all the driving!! Except, of course, when I go to see my friends. I am anxiously awaiting the downtime.
Hopefully, this will open up some time to make our home a little more 'ours' with a few touch-ups.

Renovate or build
This house is over 100 years old, and we are the 3rd generation to live here. This was my husband's grandmother's home. And before them, it was her husband's grandmother's home. I think there was a great aunt in there somewhere, but I'm not sure.
Obviously, LOTS of history.
We have been here for six months now, living in the country. We did not purchase the home. We are getting a feel for the lifestyle and area. Now comes the decison making time. Grandma is not well- Stage IV Breast Cancer. She is doing very well and has amazing and inspiring faith.
But, while we can- we need to talk with her about our plans and intentions. She needs to ok them, and we need to begin the process.
Will we continue living in this home, permanently?
Will we renovate- remodel this home?
Or, do we build new and start fresh---still on the family land.
Or move into town? It is a cute little agriculture farming town- NOT a city
The house has its age flaws, old pipes, leaky windows, older roof. However, its a very sound home. It has great woodwork and lots of square footage. A lot of family memories, where my father-in-law and his four brothers were raised.
What would you do? My inner City Girl wants a nice new fancy house!! My country girl side wants to stay here and just remodel to our needs.
My husband is always saying we are living THE dream--that a lot of people wish they had this house and land. Is that true?
Take a look- give me your opinions
