My boyfriend Danny and I had this obsession with looking at homes on Zillow like most young couples. One day I found a link to an old farmhouse, texted him the link, and said ""dream house, lets buy it!" The rest is history...well after a lot of freaking out about a septic inspection.

Growing up in Maryland we had pretty suburban upbringings. Before moving to the Richmond area, we actually lived in Baltimore City (GO O's!), not the nice part and knew we were over city life. We both really enjoy the outdoors and being homebodies. Our love of outdoor projects, animals, and blasting oldies music wasn't exactly the right fit for a neighborhood riddled with HOA rules and regulations so out to the country we went.

Before we moved to "the farm", we had three chickens in the backyard of our suburban neighborhood. Let me tell you...chickens are a gateway drug! Thanks to a free coop off of Craigslist and a Maryland friend giving us those first three chickens. Three chickens has become more like 30 chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, turkeys, pigs, a kitten, all added to the two dogs we already had. I'm wearing Danny down for a pair of goats, so I'll keep you posted in that!
