This just amases me! I initally came over and lived in NYC, so we were living on top of one another. After Michael and I were married we moved to Fla. where his family resides, and I don't think we lived on more than 1/2 an acre. We can practically see into our neighbours bathroom from one of our windows in this house, and the home that we were building did not have much more land than this.

When we were looking to move last year, it seemed like this was the norm in the suburbs of Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia as well. Who maintains all of your yard? I can't even imagine! It is quite beautiful though. I would love to live out in the fields with all it's natural beauty.
