The beginning.....

Today officially starts the beginning of the new venture for our family. 
For many years Tim and I have talked of living in the "country", having space for the kids to run and explore, to have chickens and to try to be more self sustaining...a simpler life (but will it be more simple;))! 
A few months ago we saw an ad for a piece of land in the rural part of Va Beach and on a whim we decided to check it out.  We drove out and both of us instantly knew this would be a beautiful place to live...4 acres of land surrounded by trees, backing up to preserved land and right next to Back Bay.  Today marks the day that our builder will start digging.
