We've got an accepted offer in on the Trolley house! On deck: meth test, general and FHA inspections, and hopefully closing if all looks good! While we wait, we've been looking at old photos of SLC. This is the Trolley house although the date it was taken escapes us.

*then i'll make a fake degree*

When I was fixing to graduate UF my academic adviser told me that unless I wanted to live in a cardboard box, I needed to explore other things to do with my English degree. True story. The creative writer in me was mortified but it was solid advice. I have not used my degree for anything writing related...until now. On a whim in March I applied to be a paid blogger for Kissimmee's tourism site. Surprisingly they accepted me and I'll be heading back to Florida tonight on our old friend the red eye flight. My posts on the tourism website won't be live yet but I'm going to be cross posting all of the adventures to this blog. Here's my first one about pre-trip planning: Winter in Utah never seems to have a definitive beginning or end so when I started planning my trip to the home state sunny visions danced in my head. I wanted to go back to all my favorite places. The listing began of where we all used to spend our weekends, the best places to eat, the out of the ...

So, while this horrible sick thing has knocked me out of the past week it wasn't enough to stop our ongoing saga as house hunters. On this particular outing we found another short sale to put an offer in on. This one is a split level on a "big" parcel (and by that I mean big as far as city lots go) and it's not like anything we've seen. It 's not as old as we usually like but it's got a lot of potential. Also on this trip I realized how house hunting is like legally being able to urban explore. In our short time running through other people's houses we've found some strange and gross things. As much as we're trying to find our forever home it's almost just as fun finding ones that won't ever be. Here are some of the unusual things we've come across on the hunt: a bomb shelter in Sugar House (wish I loved the rest of the house as much as this) a lock on the outside of one of the bedroom doors (this is totally coming off if w...

Leave it to me to write my first post of the new year six months into it. It's impossible to recount all the adventures we've had or the wonderfully mundane events that have passed. So, instead I'll just say (because I'm feeling sappy)... 2014 has been about arrivals and departures.  The Ranch has been alive with the dearest kind of visitors from the home state. They have Sundanced, farmed, egg hunted, and filled the space between these walls with laughter. They've come to life, hopped right out of their pictures and become real to our kids. It's been amazing.  And then there was February. We said goodbye (sometimes in spirit, sometimes in person, always in heart) to Mama Zoy, Seth's Grandma, and our raspberry neighbor Charlotte. It is an isolating experience to lose someone and be so physically distant. We tend both sides of the raspberry patch and visit Charlotte's grave because we can. But when we do it's like we're doing it for our gr...
