Big Day at Sloan Ranch

So last night it was made official... Our house is now on the market. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it yet. In one aspect I'm ready to move on. In another aspect, I'm sad to think that we may not be living here one day. 

Ben and I bought this place in February 2009. It was a huge step forward in our relationship... Our first house. We started remodeling it immediately before we moved in. We actually didn't move in until the first of April, right before our 3 year anniversary. We have done so much to this place. 

Here's what our house looked like in the spring of 2009... 

We remodeled almost every single room in our house. New flooring. New paint. New windows. I mean, the list goes on and on. Outside, we tore down a barn and rebuilt a new barn and an arena.

And now, here in 2013... This is what our house looks like today.

So, as you can see. We have made this house a home. We have brought home 2 children to this house but conceived 3 children in this home. We have come home to this place every day for the last (almost) 5 years. This was the very first Sloan Homestead of ours. Our farm. So, I'm a little sad at the thought we may be selling this place. But the truth is, we've just outgrown it. Both Ben and I desire more children and we desire a self-reliant farm where we have the room to grow cattle, pigs, chickens, board more horses and a bigger garden so we can feed our family without buying store-bought crap. 

As much as I love this place. As much as I enjoy the memories. It just might be time. Time to move on to something that can handle our dreams.

So... it's official. We're on the market. 

Until next time, friends
