City or Country?


City or Country? It has been (getting out calculator) 17 years since I have lived in anything remotely resembling the country. This is why I was surprised to see us fall for this 1820 colonial in the NH countryside. It's smaller than it looks, but oh so cozy inside. The owner's took great care in maintaining the house and every room is just as quaint as the next. Did I happen to mention it has one of those old big red barns on it too?! I am going to miss living in the city and it's close proximity to everything. But, I have high hopes that this country girl, turned city girl, can return, happily - to the country.

Have you settled in then? I'm envious of the red barn. Sounds like something you only see on a postcard...oh and the snow is beautiful!

I'm pretty sure that I would have fallen in love with that house also. I love the photo. Enjoy the coziness and the kiddos. (and perhaps the husband too. ha!)

Looks great from the picture. I'm excited that you'll be in the same country as me now. Of course, you're still on the other side of the country. LOL
Heaven help you!!! Relocating with newborn twins!!! I wish you the best.
Oh, and I'd love to get your Facebook name so I can keep up.

How could you not? It looks delightful.

I am sure that nothing can be more remote than where I live. We have to travel 4 hours to the closest town that has food, walmart, clothing stores and restautns. Plus we get lots of avalanches so if we get a big one it closes down the only road out of town and into town. Now thats remote!! :) but I love it.

From the outside it looks so pretty. I love old homes like that. A big red barn is pretty awesome also. A great place to live raising kids.

The house and snow look beautiful! I remember moving to the opposite side of the country in dang hot weather with 3 month old twins. Not fun but somehow it all works out. Hope you're doing well and that you can get settled and enjoy the country!
Cute picture of you!

Marie said...

Oh! That looks like a perfect place to call home! I can just see your four littles growing up there!

I am with you. I am sort of out in the country. I'm a country girl, turned city girl- returned back to the country.

Natalie said...

Loving the house that you're going to will make the move just a little bit easier! It's so cute and I can't wait for you to get settled in to enjoy it. Hang in there!

Sounds wonderful! I love the country and have experienced both kinds of living. But love the quiet space of the country.

Laura said...
