The Story...chapter three

The young family of four

moved into their cottage

and started to make it a home.

They painted, they remodeled the kitchen,

they redid the bathrooms added some new carpet,

rehung new windows,added new trim...let's just say that

there was NOT one room in the little cottage

that went untouched!

They loved their little cottage

on Walcott Street but

deep down in their hearts

was a desire to have a little

plot of land way out in the country.

One day last fall

the Lord blessed them with

the desire of their hearts...

a little plot of land way out in the country.

And, on this little plot of

land was an adorable country cottage.

Now, this family knew that

the Lord had blessed them

BUT

they were about to receive

an amazing and very unexpected blessing!

The Story...chapter two

Now... while Bryan and Krista were

happily growing up in the Midwest

there was a young family of four who

lived on the east coast.

The daddy was a submarine officer and

the mommy stayed home with her

two sweet baby girls.

The daddy really liked being a submarine officer

and worked really (REALLY) hard.

His job would keep him away from home

much of the time.

When he was out at sea he

 would miss his girls so very much!

He made the decision to

resign his commission with the Navy,

talking a job with a company in southwest Michigan

(of all places)

Let's just say the mommy of said young family

wasn't very happy as she wanted to move

back to Montana the place her and the daddy once called home.

Or atleast back to the south

 because it's warm down there.

On the day they arrived in their new town

 it was cold, windy and SNOWING

They got right down to buisness looking for a new home

keeping in mind that one of the little girls

wanted a pink room.

They found a cute little cottage 

 in need of some T L C

AND

a pink room!

The Story...chapter one

Once upon a time

there was a boy named Bryan

and a girl named Krista.

Bryan and Krista grew up in a cute little town

in southwest Michigan. 

They went to the same high school

and after graduating

Bryan went this way

and

Krista went that way.

They liked going this way

and that way.

But...after awhile they both

came back to that familiar place called home.

Home is where they found each other

and began to date

Then...

They fell in love

THEN...

They got married!

IT HAPPENED!!!

We sold the little cottage in town!

There is a story...and it's a good one!!!

I'm sorry but the story will have to wait

because I have a few more thing to pack

before the movers show up tomorrow!

Have a lovely week end

An Amazing Winter Wonderland Kind of Day

Yesterday was one of those

amazing winter wonderland kind of days.

I got up early with the cute engineer

and took a walk through the woods.

The scenery took my breath away

It was so beautiful.

So, later that morning after the sun came up

Libby and I went for another walk

around the woods

and this time I brought my camera.

Libby, you be the leader

Any one up for a picnic?

I can see the cottage

Hope you have an amazing day!

Working Together

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

How was your week end?

Ours was

WONDERFUL

The cute engineer and I

spent part of Saturday

stacking wood.

That little stack took

 A LONG TIME

and

we feel like we didn't even

make a dent in the pile

Why did we move and stack wood?

Well, 

We wanted to crank up the wood stove

to see if it really would heat the cottage 

Of course our little gardening buddy

was there to help...

UNTIL

She was put in

Scottie Jail

for visiting the house

across the street without permission.

We rang in the new year

watching Band of Brothers

with Jen

We woke up on Monday
 with a little snow on the ground.

Let me tell ya...

It is

B E A U T I F U L!!!

Thanks to

 our little stove in the woods
 the cottage is toasty warm! 

I've been pondering the past year

and wondering about the changes that will come

with the new year.

I am so thankful

that our

AMAZING

God

is the same God of yesterday

the same God  today

and will be the same God  tomorrow!

Have a great day

~Nancy~
