We have packing boxes and rubber maid containers in our living room and bedrooms. One room has been designated to be the boxed and ready room. I am eager and wishing that we were leaving next week. I am sad and already missing our dearest friends here. It’s a little knifing ache in my chest that has joined the one of leaving my family. Yet I am so excited for the life and adventure ahead. So full of dreams.
Our new home on the East Coast
As I was sorting clothing today, I went through Cecily’s little box of preemie clothing that she wore for the first six weeks of her life and I can’t believe how tiny each little sleeper is. Or that she was swimming in them to begin with. And then to realize that the clothing that I packed away last summer for Aneliese will be worn by Cecily this summer. Time moves fast.
And in the midst of trying to live life here, plan for life in Nova Scotia with details like selling our car, buying a truck and trailer, house insurance, house buying, I have been wanting to blog. To share several recipes. To talk about literacy and books that I love. To write about some of life. And there just isn’t time. But we still have time for Friday night Nachoes.
Friday Night Nachoes
Fresh Salsa, Guacamole and Bean dip (all from Scratch)
AW! We just finished our Friday night nachoes! Cute 🙂 And we had fresh salsa as well (and it was so good!). Fun times!
Where do you find gluten free nachos?
Several tostitos corn chips are considered gluten free (as are many corn chips)….I need to call them though because I understand that some of their products are processed on the same equipment as products with flour.But you can get certified gluten free ones from Super Store and Costco (these are a little thicker and more like a cracker but they work) also carries one brand that I can’t remember what it is called. Also something to keep in mind is that if something doesn’t have gluten on the label and is certified Kosher, cross contamination is much less likely..
Your new house looks charming! I enjoy your blog and will be praying for you and your family as you move.
Is that seriously your new home?! What are you guys doing for a job? How did you find that beauty? I missed where you are going?How exciting…new beginnings.
yes that is really our new home in NS! It is actually a duplex so we hope to have one side as a vacation home eventually. Dan is taking his job with him:), graphic design. And then he will do his photography and music.
How on earth did you find that? It is like in a dream or the movies. My perfect dream home! How did you start this journey? Where did you look? Oh my goodness- I know it is tough to leave family- but to start a life in something like that is incredible.We are thinking of leaving thus why all the questions:)
Also, do you have pics of the inside? I am a house lover and am continually inspired by a home like that. I am still in awe that you found something for a good price that you can move to. What made you decide on Nova Scotia?
We knew the area that we wanted to be in and have been watching mls for quite a while looking for what we had in mind. This seems even more perfect that what we would have expected and has just over seven acres so great for us. As to the journey of how….well it is kind of a lengthy story, but it is something that we have unseriously dreamed about for years and began to seriously consider it a year ago.I will email you with a few of the inside pictures:)
