Have Patience, Have Patience

You may remember the Sunday School song.  It's my motto at this time.  There are things we have to do here before we can ever move.  It's hard to see at times how improving our home here will help us get to Wallace, but it will.

We would move tomorrow, if we could.  But to move, we need to sell our home.  Our home needs work.  We started with improvements this spring.  We updated kitchen appliances.  I am redoing the downstairs bathroom, and once complete I will paint the upstairs bathroom and update the countertop, sink and backsplash.  We are also laying laminate flooring in place of the nasty gross carpet.

Ok it isn't really Mayberry

We don't really want to move to Mayberry, but if you have ever been to Wallace, Idaho, you may see the resemblance. There are no McDonald's in town, not even a drive through. There isn't a single stop light in the town. If you want to cross the street, you will find that vehicles stop and wait for you, even when they don't have a stop sign.

Wallace is a little town in Northeastern Idaho and has about 1000 residents. It's a quiet silver mining town. Most of the homes were built in the 1910's. The town itself is on the historic register. And our family has fallen in love. So join us on our journey. Moving there is probably a good year or two away, but we will start now making life changes that help us get closer to our dream town goal.
