So Busy!

Life for the Moss family has been quite busy! We moved the second week of September! We live in a small town called Archer. We have really enjoyed it here and already feel like it is home. We live behind the local general store which is over 100 years old! It is the oldest building in Madison County! We have three bedrooms and a nice bonus room that is now the family room/kids playroom. Plus it has large kitchen and living room. The laundry room is very spacious with a double sink. There is a dark dungeon(what our landlords call it:D) that is very big and has concrete walls and a dirt floor!! I've only been down there once..and maybe we would only to go back down there if there is a tornado on the way(Hey, who knows what creepy crawly things live down there)!! LOL! The kids elementary is just a half a mile away. The school was built this year! It's quite nice. The kids both enjoy their new teachers and both of their teachers are in our ward! We love the country feel and how everyone waves to you as they pass by. Even though it is a bit longer commute for Trevor to get to work, we feel like this has been a great move for our family. We have lots of yard work to do, including putting in grass seed, but look forward to seeing the results of our labors. One of our sweet neighbors, Anna, has offered us some chickens. On the property, there is a large chicken coop already to go...so we have considered taking them in! We also have a large garden spot and I'm looking forward to learning how to plant and can lots of fruit and vegetables! There are also a couple of apple trees! So don't feel shocked if you hear me singing "Eieio!" We are grateful for the opportunity to be here at this time. We feel very blessed! Here are just a few pictures of the new place. I will put more up when the other rooms are finished being put together! These are just of the kitchen and living room for right now.

Another view of the kitchen. The hallway on the right is where there is a bathroom and the kids bedrooms. Straight ahead is the laundry room and in there is a door to the mud room/back entryway. In the mud room, there is another door to the family room and large storage room.
