The house from the road, it sits on an acre lot.
Tomorrow is the big day, after a trip across the country and living in a trailer for the past four weeks, we finally get to move into the house we will call home for the next 3.5 years. I looked at a lot of houses and some were practically brand new; some were more and some were less rent; some were closer to DC some were further. For whatever reason, this 26 year old colonial in Virginia just had my heart right away and to think I almost called to cancel the viewing because I'd thought we'd found "the one" in Maryland. Granted, we are just renting so why am I getting all excited about a house that isn't even ours? I love to make the houses we are in "home" no matter where we are and this house has so much character, it will be easy to do. Even though it is hardly "out in the country", I feel that way when we are there. It is away from the hustle and bustle that is the DC area and I feel comfortable there and secure for my boys. Yes, some of the light fixtures and window treatments could stand an update, but I'm not complaining. There is a ton of room, more than we need, but plenty of room for Diane in the lower level. In fact, its almost as if she has her own apartment down there, and still enough room for guests....so start planning your trip to our nation's capitol and come visit us :) Will update with interior pics once we get settled...
This is a little shed...at first I thought it was a little one bedroom house (Diane...)
But, it houses the riding lawn mower that is included with the property.

Reading another good writer's blog - that's Cori Marie Normandeau, - I found my way to yours, as well. Oh, my! This definitely looks like The Place! What a blessing! Gene and I are planning on coming your way either in the spring of fall. (His son lives in Harrisburg, PA.) God bless your latest adventure! Love, Penny (aka nenny)
Love it! I wanna live there too!I just love those Colonial style homes. Reminds me a bit of the house we grew up in, in West Linn. What a blessing & gorgeous.... and what a cool yard. Have you had any snow?
Hi gals, thanks for the compliments. Again, cant take too much credit since the house isn't ours, but it sure is feeling more and more like home. No snow yet, Annie, but we keep hearing its on the way. I hope its not too crazy because I worry everytime Jay makes his way to and from the city!
