We're starting another adventure, so I'm starting a new blog to try and keep a record of it all. I didn't do this with the first house and I kind of regret it. Also, I think this is going to be interesting to go back and read someday...
Brad is really treating me right for our 5 year anniversary. We're buying a Double Wide. Yes, I did us a cap D and cap W. From here on out our new place will be referred to as The DW. Most the time you tell someone that you are buying a new house they think you're upgrading. I wouldn't describe this as an upgrade. The DW isn't one of those fancy, top of the line manufactured homes. I'd call it more of a Kia. It gets the job done, but it's not very ambitious. We're hoping to change all that.
Observe DW in all it's glory. It's not much to look at. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm a little frightened to actually post the pictures that I have of the inside. This is definitely not where I saw us 5 years ago. I've been scouring the internet and after countless hours reading blogs and looking at other people pictures of their before and after I think it has some potential. I think it could actually be nice. But the DW isn't really what caught our attention. Though it does have a pool... I don't think I mentioned that. No, what made us say "hey, we should buy this DW" was the beautiful 20 acres that it sits on.
20 acres! Half of it is wooded, the rest is a field and a yard. And the best part... It's just outside of town! I don't know how you get better than this, well, maybe without the DW it would be a little better, but we're going to make things happen. It's going to be the best little DW you've ever seen. Some new floors, some paint, some blood, sweat, and maybe even a few tears later it's going to be us. Oh, and I've been promised a puppy, which makes this whole thing even cooler. Also, the neighbors have a goat. Goats are pretty cool in my book. I'm pretty sure the goat and I are going to be the best of friends.
That's all for now folks. Closing is supposed to be at the end of next month, so between now and then I'll probably post about all the updates we're finally doing to our current house so that we can move out. Cause everyone knows that you always wait until you're moving to do all the things you've been meaning to do. Such is life.
