Yep that is it, my own little house on the prairie. It isn't so bad though, at least I have an air conditioner. Let me point out some of the funnier parts of this picture. See those little white balls on the ground...well those are moth balls. You see I have this overwhelming fear of snakes, and I heard through many people that snakes hate moth balls. So I decided that it would be a good idea to spread a WHOLE box of them along the outside of my shed. Well I know see why snakes don't like them, no one worned me on just how strong they smell. But I will put up with the smell as long as it keeps those darn snakes away. Next, you see those things leaning on the left side of the shed? Well those my friends would be tree stands. Yes, I offically look like the worlds biggest red neck, please don't remind me. I could go on and on about this picture, but I think I will let the viewers make some of their own observations, happy hunting!!Next is on to the inside of the shed...
No so bad right? That is my very comfy bed...which I might add I have had since I have been 3 years old. Anyway, that is my favorite part and it really is comfortable. Next to my bed on the right is my nightstand/desk/shelves.Next is on to the closet...
So this is my closet/dresser, I guess. Underneath that shelf is a few more containers and a laundry basket, nothing too exciting. Next is on to bigger and better...
This building here is our shop/living room/dinning room/kitchen/shower/workout room and probably a few others. A look at the inside...
Yes, that is it. Not too much else to say. But I think that I should mention that everything, and I do mean everything here is sand. It makes it impossible to keep anything clean when everywhere you turn there is sand. Oh yeah, you see that blue curtain type thing on the right side of the picture? Well ladies and gentlemen that is the "door" to the shower. No such thing as privacy out here.

And the last of all the wonderful amenities...
Yes, currently that is all we have for a lavatory. It isn't sooo bad, it does get cleaned once a week; however, if you have ever lived in North Carolina you know how hot it can get, and that is all I will say about that.

This is up the driveway (towards the road), from our, well whatever you want to call it. Just on the other side of those trees really are two houses that are being built. The good news is that my dad is the builder. You see he promised mom and I that we would be in our house by Christmas, but... he wouldn't promise us that it would be Chritmas THIS YEAR.

All and all it really has become home out here. I really enjoy the peace and quite nature has to offer. It really is not as bad as it all might sound to some.
And lastly, the funnist part of all to me is that I have internet out here! I actually wrote this entire post form the comforts of my very own shed!

I remember the walls of trees from Georgia and Kentucky. You really could hide houses in there and no one see them until winter! Loved seeing your digs too. You all are really pioneers! And I'm with you about the airconditioner even though those windows in the main building were certainly big enough for hurricane type breezes. Plus you are so neat and tidy! Thanks for sharing and good pics by the way.
Love,

Hey Ashley...welcome to blogging! Well that was sure fun to see exactly what you were talking about when you described your living conditions while here. Have to say that isn't exactly what I pictured in my mind. (lol) Your shed actually looks nice and cozy to me! Can't wait to see more post!
I miss all the fun times out at the property. It was always fun going fishing or jumping on the 4-wheelers. Even pooring concrete for 6 hours was fun. :)
Like they say, home is where the heart is. It just goes to prove that things aren't what makes us happy. Personally, I'm with Kacey- your shed looks cozy. Just think of all the good memories your family will always have to look back on.
I love it! It looks like home to me. I'm so excited that you are blogging. Its so fun to see where you live!
