Our new place!

The house was built in 1918, and is in amazing condition!

Well, I realized that most of our friends around Worthington know this, but we haven't made an official announcement... we're moving! We're moving to an acreage just outside of town here in Worthington. Here's our story:

We always wanted to live on an acreage eventually, but with a new baby and having just moved a couple years ago, we had no intention of actively looking for another year or two. We always said we would make the leap if the right place became available, though, and it did! We need a place that is close to town for when Brian is on call, and these don't become available every day.

Some friends of ours had bought a wonderful acreage just outside of town just over a year ago, and they found out in March that they were going to be moving. We are so sad to see them go, but we made a quick decision and let them know right away that we would love to buy their house! We had fallen in love with the place when they moved in and knew it was the right decision. Within a couple of weeks we had signed paperwork and already had a couple of potential buyers on our house. Fast forward to now.... we move in two weeks!

Here's the new place:


This is the main entry to the house. The door on the right goes into a breezeway that attaches the house to the 6-car garage with insulated workshop!

Barn. Willow tree. There are also 2 apple trees on the property!

Any guesses what this building is?
The door on the left goes to a small dirt-floor area that was a pig barn.
The door on the right? A three-seater outhouse! 

Lots of trees!

This is looking toward the house. There is also a large grassy area on the other side of the driveway.


Looking out onto our farmland: 4 acres that are typically rented out.
Izzy loves it here! All of this is now green and lush with the arrival of summer!
This is looking toward the barn (on the left) and garage (on the right)
We have kittens! We are keeping a couple to mouse for us along with their mommies,
but we may have some to give away if anyone is interested!

We are so excited for this move, though we have a lot to get ready still! Yikes! It has really come up fast. Remember, we always welcome visitors, so if you're ever up this way, we would love to show you around! We'll post more photos of the house itself after we get moved in! Here's to our next adventure!
