I'm pretty excited!

We have finally decided on a house in Pennsylvania. I am pretty excited about it and thought I'd share some photos. It was actually the very first house Charles went to see, but he wanted to see what else was out there, so he took a few more weeks to check around and nothing compared to the first one. And the big bonus was that they are very kindly letting us have our animals-thank goodness! It is located in true farm country with not really any close neighbors. Only about 10 minutes for Charles to drive to work. Population 3,200. Kayla's school is a combo Jr/Sr High-she's excited about that! Very, very pretty location! NOW I am really getting psyched! Now to find a renter for our house...

The house at the end of the driveway.


Part of the backyard. How beautiful is this?!!


A double garage with a loft above. What am I gonna do with all this space?


A beautiful red and black country kitchen with a window. I have NEVER lived in a house with a window in the kitchen. I am SO gonna enjoy cooking in there.


Stairs going down to the basement. A basement! A real basement! Do Florida girls know what to do with a basement?


Part of the basement is finished. This half with the built-in bookcases will be my scrapbook area. Kayla and I have decided that the other half will be a lounge area with a bed for guests or sleepovers. Any takers?


Our bedroom, closet and door to bathroom. Our bedroom has 4 windows. And can you imagine the view out of those windows? Winterscapes? I am so excited!!


Kayla's bedroom. She says her new furniture exactly matches the log walls, so we are gonna call her room "all wood grain, all the time"!


The living/dining room. The complete irony of this house is that the owner prefers that we not take down his trophies. Can you imagine us, vegetarians, living in a home with deer heads, stuffed turkeys, etc. all around? How funny will that be?!! LOL


We will have lots of space. Mansfield is not a hot bed of activity, not all that far to NYC, Canada, the Poconos, etc. This is the open invitation to friends and family to visit often!
