Dream House
It has been a LONG time since my last post. I haven't been feeling very bloggy lately. {is bloggy even a word?} Since my last post, I went on vacation to my homestead {North Carolina}. It had been 2 and 1/2 years since I had visited...needless to say, my mom was super excited to have me home. She is building her dream home as we speak. They should be moving into it in July or August. IT IS HUGE!!! My step father is an architect and designed it. He cut down the design twice to reduce the square footage. BUT IT IS STILL HUGE...almost 6,000 square feet! He based the design on the Karen Blixson museum in Africa. That house was in the movie Out of Africa. My mom and step dad went to Kenya on a trip a while ago and visited this house and FELL IN LOVE with it. So my stepdad designed his house based on it.

In an effort to save money, they didn't use the stone as in the Blixson house. Also, my stepfather increased the size of the house too!
This picture is taken from the back of the house.

Most of the house in on the first floor. This is only a three bedroom house! All the rooms are very spacious, though. Each room has it's own bathroom. Two bedrooms are on the second floor along with an awesome open playroom...not just for kids, but adults too. There is an elevator in the house as well. And you should see my mom's closet. Ladies - you would die for it! HUGE with built-in shelving and attached to the bathroom with it's own little dressing area.
I continue to ask..."Ummm, why didn't you build this house when I was living with you?" The reply is usually, "You can come live with us now!" {It is big enough...}
We also visited my hubby's family while in NC. I will leave that to another post....we went shooting guns....super scary to say the least.
It is nice to be back!
