Where we started.
It all started when my mom met my dad and they had me. Well, it didn’t go exactly like that, but along those lines. My mom had always dreamed of having a horse. Not until she met and married my dad would that dream come true. He was the one that made that dream happen.
Over a decade passed and the right opportunity hadn’t come along. In 2018 we looked for land more eagerly. We built up a fantasy about our dream land, one with horses and chickens and had plenty of room to run. We would be the “hot spot” all our friends would want to hang out at our house.
In the summer of 2018, we found this place. It was in horrible condition. The pull shed was filled with hay and nails and mice. The house was something close to haunted. It wasn’t even possible to walk in the woods, because they were filled with Autumn Olive. The horse barn was not existent, except for the concrete pad covered in inches of moss and mud.
