Every year we do some sort of update. New windows, new furnace, new sump pump, new windows, paint, carpet, new windows. Get the idea?

Your home looks just beautiful! We are looking at older homes as that's always been our dream, but I can see where there would be some definite downsides. One thought I ALWAYS have to remind myself of is "we should bloom where we are planted." Great post Laura. Your home looks just beautiful!

I can so relate. Not about the house part, I move too much, but about the contentment part. I am always looking for something better or wishing I was somewhere else.... I do love your house! I know what you mean about old houses, we lived in one once and it was COLD! Laura-

You have my style. I know how you feel. When we bought this place 4yrs ago I felt this way. I loved the 40 acres but not the house. We to build in the back & this house was to be made into a office for hubby's business. Well $$ wouldn't allow it. I really hated this house. So I started to pray. God showed me how to love this house. Now I don't want to build. Its a matter of putting the me touches to it. We finished the basement for more living/bedroom space. My Christmas gifts of late have been remodeling the rooms yr by yr. This yr it's the laundry room. Our home is 30+ yrs old. You have a beautiful house. You have my style. I know how you feel.

It is a challange for meto be content with what I have but it helps when I stop to remember how much I do have and give thanks.

We've already done our living room and dining room. Always a project around here, but we LOVE our OLD home!
