Ok, I've gotten a few notes from friends and aquaintences and folks confused about our life.
"what are you doing? Where are you now? Last I heard, you were..."
Awww, thanks for asking.
Here's the gist.
*moved from Ohio in 07
*moved to WV, stayed there 3 years
*Went to Buffalo NY, bought a home there, hubby got a great opportunity in PA
*and now we are here workin' it out
*Now it's 2012 and here we go again
Life in the Oil n Gas industry and my hubby's passion for it and my passion for him has this wife living a gypsy life.
*He promises, as much as he can promise, that we will be here for awhile.
hahaha, whatever that means. Love that man :)
God is good and faithful and big. bigger than my issues, problems, and I'm His. So let's live!

On Faith, we are looking for our next home.
I know,
you've been down this road with me before.
Wanna travel it with me again?
If all goes well, Lord willin' and we are praying daily, we will be able to move on from our house in NY by the end of the month so we figured that it's time to start really looking.
We thought about renting for awhile, but when rent here is being dictated by landlords jacking it up because they think we folks who work for the oil and gas companies can afford to shell out 1200 bucks and up a month, we've decided to pursue buying.
Take a chance, live on faith, and go for it.
so, here's a few that I've set up to look at this weekend.
Now this one is in a great location and has loads of potential...
because it's pretty much a blank canvas.
and I like a blank canvas.
Now, the next candidate is a favorite, but of course, comes at a higher price tag.
The appeal of this one?...
Check out this cutie patootie kitchen!
Next in the line up...
A beauty with mountain views. All the way around the house.
This one...Price tag is right and I've never been crazy about the layout of bilevel houses, but...
It's move in ready, empty, nice neighborhood and the price is right.
plus
check out those dark floors.
I could work with this
Now, always in my search, I run across a home that is just out of my reach even if I stretch really hard stand on my tippy toes and grunt, I could barely reach this one.
A cozy retreat in the woods with indoor and outdoor spaces that make me drool
Oh rock fireplace in dining room
Oh kitchen beauty with windows to the ceiling
Oh unique sunroom, the hours I could spend
Inside is as beautiful as the outside
I try to find a flaw and talk myself into deleting this gem from my favorites, but in spite of the fact that it's a little too far away from hubby's work, and that it doesn't even have a garage, and the yard work could be challenging, and ok, what else can I come up with/\???
Bears! yes, there could be bears...
Oh, I try to find a flaw, but on my favorites it remains.
Hey, I'll let you know how it goes.
Appreciate your prayers for a smooth process with the sale of our current home and moving on to new adventures in Pennsylvania.

Tina...It's so good to get an update. Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to see how your house tours end up after this week-end. It looks like you've picked some goodies. I'll be praying for God to guide you, as He always does. Love & Hugs. Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Tina--thanks so much for stopping by. I love your adventurous life--(yes I would call it an adventure)and your willingness to see what happens next!
ReplyDeleteAnd you asked me about classes--there are so many out there--it's overwhelming, but I always recommend the first one that I ever took with Mystele's Gut Art class (you can google it)--she is a wonderful teacher and I KNOW that you would love her. It's a bit different than any other class out there--very hands on--you need to participate to benefit from it, but well worth the time. I think she's having one in the Spring, but I'm not sure--hope this helps you.
BUT..if you want to take one now--it depends on what you're looking to do--there's one for any thing you want.
Funny, your favorite is my least favorite. I now know what a woodsy retreat means. Continued maintenance. Deer and bears, whistle pigs and squirrels all have their appeal on television, but I'm too much of a town girl. I like the one with the mountain view and I also like the bi-level. Whatever you choose, you will make the best of it. Keep praying and it will, of course, all work out.
ReplyDelete... yep, I was wondering. Brave to go thru that buying process (again and again). I kind of wish we didn't own a house and rented, so we could move on more easily.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Years!
Laura @ The shore House commented and I accidently erased it. stupid smart phone!
ReplyDeleteYou all are so encouraging to me!
