We bought the farm

This won't be the last time I post this photo. I know its obnoxious to see the same one. I hate photos of me, usually. But I love this photo of us. And so I stick with the good ones when I find them. Also, we took an arm cam photo of us yesterday at the new farm and we both looked so old and haggard! Much more youthful looking last summer I suppose. 

Yesterday. We closed. Today through this weekend we are moving home, humans, parasites, livestock, and farm. My mother is driving up with sandwiches and hopefully many forms of caffeine. We are running on fumes and we still have half a house, 8 cows, 2 pigs, 3 sheep, 2 goats, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 30 chickens and the honeybees and all the farm gear to move.

BUT we are elated. As we have found our forever home and it is ours. We have found the home where I want to give birth to our son and where I want to spend the rest of my years with Nick and where we will raise many animals and many vegetables and many children. It is beautiful and perfect. I love every inch of our new land.  Many photos to come next week. This weekend there will be few words and fewer photographs. This weekend there will be much buzzing and much anxiety and much happiness and hopefully many hours of sleeping in between.

Here we start on what is billed to be our last and final move.
