Goodbye~~~Hello

We are leaving Liberty. After ten wonderful years. And moving to Cache Valley in the spring. We bought a house in Paradise on three acres that doesn't have the yard in. We're sixty. What are we thinking! How nice it would have been to raise the girls in a larger house than we had back in the day. Isn't it strange how that happens?
This is the house in Paradise.  I was seduced by all the rock work inside, and by the inside basketball court.

I can't wait to see what MAGIC you and Papa will work in Paradise. Put my kids to work helping you. Liberty was Heaven On Earth, and I'm sure Paradise will be...well, paradise!

That's a great idea to put pictures on a blog. It makes it much easier for people who are interested. I'm sad because I loved your liberty house, but I'm happy too because it will be so fun to have you guys be closer (when we live there again, anyway). Good luck with everything! I wish we could be there to help.

Love it, love it, love it. My dream has come true- well almost. In my dream you're my next door neighbor :) I'm sooooo excited. I will miss the Skeen acreage/compound/neverland too. Can't wait for the spring!

p.s. did you notice how Ky put "when we live in Logan again?" please help me remind her of that in the years to come. . .

Did you get the moving bug from your daughter? She told me that you guys wanted to move. Hope all goes well with everything! The new house looks fabulous!

What what a great new home. I'm sure you two will whip it into shape in no time. It was be a wonderful project and a great place for your family gatherings.

I am so sad that you will be moving further away again! However, I must say the new place does look FaNTastiC! I am sure your little hands are just dying to get in and decorate amazingly like always. I can hardly wait to see it in person. Better rest up this winter!

BITTER SWEET! I'm so happy for you. Sad for me, a little bit. But I know Stacey wouldn't feel sorry for me, so I can't be too sad. There's a lot of home changes this year for the Skeen family.

Zowie(that means more than wow!)This so reminds me of gorgeous cabin Bryon and I stayed at in Colorado. It looks massive. You aren't going for "quaint" this time around are you.You would of course pick a place named "Paradise" I think you never quite got over not living in "Dynasty Estaes".

Annie, I love your new paradise! The rock is amazing. I think I need one last visit to the land of Liberty though...

Its like you took a picture of my dream home.. I LOVE the stone inside! Not to mention all the other fun. I can't wait to see what it will look like after you give it your magic touch.

Stacey said...

Just when the kids were getting used to sleeping alone out in the bunkhouse, oh and what fun we had all those many summers. Can't wait for the new adventures in store!

What a beautiful house! I am sure it will be a fun project, but we'll miss you having a place here.
