Big things are happening at our
house! We have put our house on the
market to sell. It is way too much
house, not enough yard, not enough shop and the neighbors are way too close for
comfort. I know we sound like hicks from
the sticks, but when you grew up out in the middle of nowhere, to have someone that
is right outside your kitchen window every time you go to do dishes it is a
little much. It is not that our
neighbors are bad people, but we just aren’t very social in our neighborhood
for very specific reasons. We like our
privacy and don’t need someone there all the time asking what we are doing and
wanting to have conversations as you are trying to get work done.
We will miss a few things about
this house as we prepare for our next house buying adventure. We will miss our neighbor across the street
Mark. Mark is an associate pastor at a
non denominational church here in town.
He truly embodies what it is to live a Christ like life. He is always
doing things to help others and is always watching out for every one in our
neighborhood. We never had to shovel the
walk in front of our house. Mark always
had it done with his snow blower before we could even think about getting the
shovel out. He has helped Ian with
trimming trees and how to get rid of obnoxious weeds from our front yard. That will e something we will miss very
much.
We are getting excited to have the
possibility of a shop for Ian and a little bit smaller house for me. I just get tired of always having to clean
our very large house that we don’t even use half of. This has been an experience of finding out
what doesn’t work for us as a couple and what we want in the long run for our
home. Since we can’t have children we
have decided to downsize from a 5 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom house. That gives us plenty of space for both of us
and we will also have a guest room for when people come to visit.
So if you know any one who is
looking for a house to buy in American Falls ,
send them our way!
