Hello again!

Well hello there! 👋
It's been quite a while...and my oh my, how things have changed!
But we are about to embark on our next big adventure house-wise...so thought it timely to get back into the blog & do some documenting/sharing.

I'll basically fast forward the last 2 years in the rental...from Jan 2013 to June 2015, we have had some tough and trying years with the business really getting on it's own two feet.
Shem works full time AAA now, and we have around 8-10 staff, many vehicles and a big shed full of gear here at our rental home/business premises.
On the family front, our family has grown with the addition of 2 more little boys...Mr I in Feb 2013 and Mr C in July 2014. All 17/18 months apart, and very fond of one another. Mr C will celebrate his 1st birthday next month, and Mr J (our eldest) will be 4 in August.
So things have definitely changed.

The latest blessing for our family has been the provision of a family home. Combined with a business premises. On a stunning 5 acres at the very edge of town, in an area we have been keen on for a long time...we had waited patiently for a property like this for many months. Well, not exactly like this, truth is we had looked at many 'completed', larger houses to suit our sized family and family visiting, but they never had the right amount of land or layout of land to suit our smaller budget. So, we were waiting for an open door into something that would suit us, but we had no idea what. So we waited.
And it did.
We stepped through gingerly, and the door was flung wide open. How very grateful we are!!

Now we need to do our bit, getting our hands (and hearts) a bit dirty, robustly renovating and creating a family home! It needs to fit 3 bustling, busy boys after all!
As well as be a retreat for Mum, Dad and family and friends who visit.

So the task ahead is a rewarding and busy one.
Hang on, if you will...for the ride! 😊
