The move

It's been a little over a week and we are getting settled into our new house.  I have never been more excited to make our place a home.  Waking up each morning seeing the views of the mountains and looking out to see nothing but trees and wildlife on our property is simply breathtaking.  One of the boys favorite daily activity is chasing the turkeys, which brings a huge smile to my face.  These are memories that I know will last a lifetime for our boys.  Last weekend the hubby and I made our first trip to the "Country" store and bought some deer feed and some supplies to get started on making our chicken coop.  The boys helped us out in the shop as we began making the frame.  They just may be a little more excited then I am to raise some chickens.  I never thought that living out on some property would be this relaxing and fun.  The hard part is getting in the car each morning and heading into work and school for the boys.  All I want to do is be at home! I'm following my word for this year and living each day in the moment and just simply soaking it all up.  I do find myself thinking ahead and am excited for upcoming sledding parties with family and friend when it finally snows, bonfires, Thanksgiving and Christmas in our new home and summer relaxing reading a book in peace as the boys play. There are still many boxes that need to be unpacked, rooms to be decorated and things to be organized but I know there will be plenty of time for that.  As for now, I will go back to enjoying this moment for our family.
