i've been gone from the blog for a long time. who knows, maybe you've forgotton about us! thats okay...we've been busy with life in general.
eventually two things had to happen. our funds dissipated. nick had to get a job. i had to (wait, had to??...wanted to!!!) go back to making pottery full time again.
"what?" you say "you started a home renovation that went over budget before you were done? no way...that never happens!!!" ha... SIKE! i've never known it NOT to happen. if you have been fortunate enough to keep your reno under budget, YOU start a blog and honey, i will read it! help us all! hehe!
a full and massive renovation like we have undertaken is, as you know or have heard, very stressful. we have taken the last several months away from it. it was necessary....holy MENTAL BREAK! pshew!
we've worked hard on our days off to make the yard awesome and plant a pretty great garden considering our small yard and lack of sunlight. also, we 're been trying to maintain our acreage out in haywood county. oh, and have some fun!!! we've enjoyed living our life back in crazy little downtown asheville.
nick has been working two jobs and i make pottery, six and often seven days per week in the summer. but now, the weather is cooling. the fall seeds are mostly in the garden and its time to nest into our home for the winter. we are starting up the renovation, slowly.
i will not be writing on the blog near as often, as i had done previously because our home renovation will never be our full time jobs again. we were lucky to have that experience, but (sigh) it is over. boooooooo on real life! oh well...i'm still grateful for this entire experience and i am happy to share our adventures with you! stay tuned...
wishing you well!
trista and nick and our family of fur balls!
