Can't Wait Till Spring!
After spending some time in North Idaho we decided to settle down in Saint Maries. It's a reasonable commute to Coeur d'Alene for my husband where he found a job as a night manager so there's no traffic on his way home. I think we overall got an OK deal on our home considering that it has a few acres, but we really want horses and to do the whole homesteading thing so we made the leap, and so far so good! We go to a church in town where everyone has been very welcoming, and there is a lady at one of the grocery stores that, I'm not sure if she knows that we've never known each other, ha, ha. I can't wait until next spring cuz it's very green here. Recommend getting some acreage and farming if you can. Many people here aim for that lifestyle so I feel very lucky. I changed my CA plates too asap, lol, but I also let people know that I'm not here to try and change things but that I want to be a part of the community and will keep it nice the way it is.
