Sometimes changes are good...

We are finally in our home, and it doesn't look at all like I thought it would but is so much better than I ever imagined it would be. I had always dreamed of having a farmhouse, sort of like my Grandma and Grandpa Smith's house with the big front porch and the rocking chairs, and swing. The dream was in part because the porch is where some of my favorite memories were made rocking and swinging with my cousins, but I was also drawn to the simplicity in the design. As we looked over floor plans, they never felt right, and the frustration was beginning to build as we contemplated another very hot summer in the camper. Mike decided on a whim to visit the America's Home Place office in Brunswick and everything began falling into place. Although I was reluctant to give up my dream and make any changes to the vision I had in my mind this house seemed like the perfect solution. Mike and I could both have what we wanted. The back of the house on the pond is more like a lake house...
