Well me and hubby were kinda obsessing on the idea of a place of our own, we went to look at foreclosure's with our Friends and anything we might possibly be able to afford is not live able or in very safe areas, we have been looking for around $5000 no more and have actually found a few places but one place we looked at was $30,000 it looked great from the front fenced yard built in 1909 big front porch but no parking area so we went around the to the back of the house and as i turn the corner i was so happy there was a lane i figured cool we can just park in the backyard than i saw the yard, figured we could easily fit 4 vehicles side by side and have running room for the dogs and a small garden yea! than i looked up wow is all i can say there was no back to the house the porch was gone so not live able. it really made both of us depressed to say the least and i started thinking do i really want to worry about going to my car at five o'clock in the morning for work, will i be able to be by myself in the house while hubby's at work if and when we have kids would i feel comfortable about them playing in the yard my answer was so loud and clear no, i cant force this on my family or friends, i will keep looking but i will make sure we are safe healthy and happy.

Thou looking at these homes did put it all into prospective i know know that i would love to have 1-5 acres with a reclaimed barn turned into a home or even a small mobile home, but most importantly in an area where i wont be afraid to leave for work in the dark. also in an area that i can have chickens and a bee hive and a small garden, so i now will stop freaking out about everything and try to remember that one day if were good we can get to that dream we just need to remember the long term when were about to buy the latest of something, do we really need it can we live with out it, will it enrich our lives, or just create more clutter, and than we will take a deep breath and imagine sitting on our own porch watching our dogs jumping after lighting bugs imagine eating a dinner we grew and knowing that we together created our home. these simple thoughts have really given me strength and hope.

Peach Jam!

Day one!

Well this is the first time I have done this so here goes nothing..... I have decided I need an outlet for my soul or its going to crack from trying to hold everything and everyone. Some times it might be a bit down but hopefully it will be up more times than anything.

Lets see the basics of our story......

Me and Hubby live with my Mother in law so we try to help out as much as we can but I still long for a home of our own, we have looked into everything from tiny houses to building one from tires, still need money no matter how big or small. So we plan.....One day will get there right now we are trying to fix the things we have screwed up in life (credit mostly) and take care of our Fur babies (Two dogs - Shinohkay and Toto)

So I restarted College this Fall right now im lucky my work pays for school and im taking one class this semester and two next i dont want to take to many and miss class or miss work because im wiped out. Next Semester Hubby should be starting... Fingers crossed his work takes a lot of his time from our lives.....

Anyway I have also decided this year to creat an urban homestead I will post pics as I go right now we just have a few green pepper plants and hot peppers trying to find free materials to build the raised beds as well as energy and time.

Well for now that actually made me feel pretty good just to write we will see how many entries I can do a week right now im hoping for twice. Hope all is well in your life, for all is well in mine. : )
