Bringing it Home.

May 12th?!  The last time that I posted {...and had just previously promised to post daily?!...oops!} was May 12th?!  Alright...well, I'm back.  Things have still been pretty busy since our wedding on May 21st.  Here are the bouquets that I made for our wedding -- they turned out great!...and so did our wedding!  An 80% chance of thunderstorms was predicted for the day.  Somehow, we ended up with a light breeze, upper 70's & SUNSHINE!  It was perfect!

We closed on our house & 10 acres and began moving in on May 27th!...and have been busy moving in and getting settled ever since!  We just have one more load of things to move & then we will officially be done moving!  I cannot wait! 

Photos of our 10 acres coming soon! 

Hunting.

So...I got attached too soon...excited too soon.  The offer on the 8.5 acre property fell through when it came time to ask for an $8,500 allowance to fix rotted windows on the old farm house.  Bummer.  I still secretly hope that the owners will re-think their situation & give us that good news call...but...we cannot sit around hoping.  Sooo, we're back at it!

Between today & tomorrow we have six more houses to look at!  Although, Travis & I are pretty sure we'll be making an offer on a 10 acre property that we've already seen.  The land is really nice -- perfect for growing flowers!  The house...well...it's teeny tiny.  Luckily, the property is priced pretty low {and the realtor still thinks it is overpriced for the size of the house}...so, we will be able to save, save, save & get a small addition put on within the next two years!  Do-able!

While the house hunt is on, we are still busy with wedding planning, seeding, raking, planting and mulching!  TONS of amazing lilies, peonies & dahlias will be planted!  I am especially excited for this trumpet lily!  The bulbs are gigantic -- I cannot wait to see the flowers that they produce! 

I'll keep you posted on our hunt & new daily bloomers {posted to Facebook as soon as a new flower opens!}!

Happy Gardening!
