States of Change...Or, Changing States

I planned to move to Maine...I really did!  But, life has a way of turning you around!  We found a house!!!  It's in New Hampshire though, instead of Maine!  Actually, it's pretty much right on the line and only 20 minutes from my new job!  We put an offer in over the weekend and low and behold, the bank which owned the property worked yesterday, so we heard sooner than we thought.  It is the absolute perfect house for us!  So, all of you who pumped me up when I was feeling so crazy with worry...you were so right!!  Thank you, all of you, for your support and well wishes.  I really learned a valuable life lesson with this one...faith.  And frankly, that's a biggie!  Here's a little tour:

It's a new reproduction/antique cape.  It has two rumford fireplaces!

The living room.

The dining room with the kitchen off to the back.

The kitchen.

It has two bedrooms with a little room in-between that will be perfect for my studio!  The house comes with three acres which are wooded and filled with wild blueberries!  Short of having my children, or marrying my husband, I don't think I've ever been so thrilled!  Tom and I have been dreaming of a reproduction cape...we have loved these homes called Raeside Dames which are found in Southern Maine.  This is just like it...but smaller.  The perfect size for us!

In other news, I came home to another call for a job up north.  Obviously, I already accepted a job and I'm happy about that, but, when it rains, it pours!
Again, I am very grateful to all of my blogging pals!  You are always there to weather the storms, lend an ear, and give good advice.  I feel very blessed!
