Thank you! And yes, we both LOVE it here. I lived in Boise, Idaho when I was much younger, so have always had a fondness for this area, but then I lived in Pensacola, FL until I met my husband in 2009. We moved to Albany, NY for a bit, then he got stationed in Groton, CT - which we both absolutely LOATHED. But now that we are here, we love it so much, we're trying to buy a home in the next few months. The people are so much nicer here than in New England, it reminds me of a West coast version of the Southern hospitality I grew so accustomed to. And I have wanted chickens for as long as I can remember, so having our own house gives me that option! I think it will be something fun for both myself and my two kids being able to care for and watch chicks grow into personality infused hens, not to mention I am crazy excited about the prospect of fresh eggs! My husband has already forbidden me from checking any more Pintrest pins on chicken coops, saying that I have to pick ONE and stick to it...but there's so many to choose from!
