crushed

My excessive absence from this space over the last 4 weeks has not been by design.  Just life happening, I suppose.  Initially, I lacked time to write because of a wonderful surprise that dropped into our laps.  We stumbled upon a farmhouse, in foreclosure, that just screamed our names.  For about 3 weeks, we spruced, purged, and readied our current house, while putting an offer in and dreaming about life in this sweet little farmhouse.

Ultimately, the bank's agent dragged her feet getting the paperwork to us to sign to get the house under contract, another person made an offer, and we ended up losing out on this wonderful deal and lovely little homestead.  The entire situation was a bit crushing and more than a little difficult to write about before now.

Not being one to drag my feet in misery, I've already been working on some new projects, taking my mind off of the whole ordeal.  Hopefully I'll have some more posts up soon.  Ones with a bit less heaviness. :)

Onward and upward to a new week!
