Quick update

Quick and dirty update, so we stayed 6 months at that first apartment, (North town) we hated it. Parking was terrible the neighbors had domestics all night long or smoked up all the time. The place was to drafty the smoke would come across the hall and waft under our door, sucked! Then we moved back to the west end of the cities to another apartment (coachman) and stayed for a year. My Son Jameson was born November 12th 2010 adding a delightful little boy to our family. Coachman raised the rent at the end of our lease so we made a deal with the cottage crew, I remodeled a small mother - in - law apt they had in their downstairs and we moved in. It's cozy, sometimes too much so but we get along. We tried getting financing for a new house of our own but things fell apart at the last min so we are waiting a couple months for a second try through a different program. In the mean time we are beginning our journey down the road of self sufficiency. I have begun home brewing, we have sworn off fastfood and make good food from scratch and are learning what we can to become producers rather than consumers. We just got our seeds started for an ambitious garden this summer, and are hoping to try chickens. I have a bunch of projects planned for this summer so I will keep posting about them here. First project is to build a geodesic dome greenhouse for our plants, I hope to be building parts by the weekend.
