I’ve been back in Iowa now for the last several days after spending a week in the Dominican Republic for my “real job” – the one that pays the bills, not the one with the job title of “Dad” – but I have been slacking on posts as well as projects I had planned to wrap up before the end of the year. But, don’t worry – I plan to be back on track bright and early tomorrow morning!

After receiving a tip from a family friend, my wife and I ventured down a dusty road for the first time together in search of a house that was for sale by owner. The potential was there: wood floors buried beneath dated carpet, solid wood pocket doors surrounded by 100 year old trim, and a faded screen door leading to a covered porch complete with a white wooden swing. So, in July of 2011 my wife and I became only the third family to own this 100+ year old two-story farm house and surrounding acreage on a quiet dusty road in rural Iowa. What you’ll find on these pages is the story of what comes next.
