The Man and I finally agree on a house that we want to build. I realize that I haven’t updated with our thoughts on the future for a while. Since The Man is being medically separated from the military, we’ve made plans to move to Tennessee. We absolutely adore the town we’re looking at and need to visit some friends there to get a feel for the town in person (and make sure it really is as fantastic a place as we believe it to be!). If it all works out, we’re looking to purchase as much land as we can afford and build our home on it (I just found 183 acres for $183,000! We don’t need THAT much, but 60 acres would be perfect!). The house is large because we plan on having my parents live with us, too. At least, if/when they decide they’d like to.
Other plans include a full herb and vegetable garden along with some fruit trees. I want chickens for meat as well as eggs. I’m looking at my options for milk - still not sure if I want a cow - that’s a LOT of milk. A goat is a possibility, but The Man says (adamantly) that I’m on my own with that one. LOL
Anyway - I’m relieved to have something, finally, to add to my vision board.
I’m a wife to one hot Air Force dude, a mother to two gremlins born six months apart (we’re special), and slave to the slightly feral Shoulder Cat and his cohort, The Velociraptor (remind me to clip her claws, please, she clicks when she walks).
Can I be phantom of the tower? I’ll paint my long nails black, wear a black mask and be your best friend…
Seriously though, that house looks huge but when you look at the plans closer, it really isn’t, It has a good floor plan.

I thought we could use it as a landing pad for our brooms.
Yes, the house looks ginormous, but it really is a manageable size. I love the garden - that’ll be a formal herb garden with any luck.
Wow! That’s a beautiful home and all that acreage!! Yay! I would love a lot of land like that to have a sprawling garden and orchard, and some egg chickens. I’m so happy for you. Keep us updated as things work out.
Try not to forget that a big house is a big house to clean. lol
