#10 - The hot tub that the previous owners left for us. It doesn't rank very high on our list because after filling it, the water leaked rather quickly out the bottom.
# 9 - The screened in porch...its such a great place to hang out. It is the first thing that will be painted and fixed up. Here is a picture of it how it looks now. You can check back in a week to hopefully see the new version.
#8 - Living in the Woods. Samuel says that his favorite thing to do is to go outside to listen to the birds while riding his tricycle.
#7 - Having Bob at home with us for 2 straight weeks before starting his new job!!
#6 - Having an endless supply of trees for Bob to go cut down when we get sick of having him around the house (Just kidding, honey)
#5 - Bob's wood pile. He thinks this should be the number one reason, but it doesn't impress me much. Notice the pile is arranged according to the type of wood.
#4 - My Grammy's China. Years ago, I had inherited my Grammy's china, but had never brought it out of the box because I had no where to put it. My sister Anna gave me our Grammy's buffet that she had inherited, so when I unpacked the china it was like Christmas for me. It is beautiful! It made me wonder about all the dinners those dishes have been a part of! Hopefully they'll have many more years of entertaining!
#3 - The kids have space to play! They love riding around on this John Deere Gator that Bob's parents got for them. They use it to help clean up all the trees that Daddy has cut down.
#2 - Finally having a yard big enough for archery practice. For the past 10 years we have lived in places where Bob has not been able to shoot his bow, so finally he can practice whenever he wants! The best part about this one is that I don't have to hear "We need a bigger yard" anymore.
And the #1 reason why we love our new house is the ENDLESS HOUSE PROJECTS!! The last 2 years we rented a house in Hershey. It was great for us for the 2 years, but we missed having projects. Its fun starting projects now...I'm not sure I'll be saying that in a few months when we'll still be painting, but for now we're having lots of fun.
