Alrighty then. I get it. My readers aren't into Apartment Therapy like I am. I can live with that. I have to admit, it took me a while to get it. Especially because a lot of it isn't my personal style. But should you need resources aplenty, at least now you know where to start. And it was a good thing for me to catch up on while it hurt to move my neck, and I was stuck in my jammies with dirty hair, and I couldn't go anywhere since I was attached to a heating pad, and I smelled like a eucalyptus tree from one of those icy hot patches. It's a good life and I love it.
So... Sandpoint, Idaho. Nearly 6 years ago, we sold our favorite forever house (above), and moved 1400 miles way up to northern Idaho's panhandle, to a quaint little town called Sandpoint. Sandpoint lies one hour north of Couer 'd Alene and an hour south of Canada. Let me tell you, there's a reason they call it God's Country - it's the most beautiful scenery you can imagine. I won't go into all the reasons we moved because there are many, but it turned out to be a rocky, rocky road. We did end up making the trek all the way back here to California. But I don't want to jump ahead of myself. Not a day goes by when I don't think of Sandpoint, and there is much to tell.
Now is the first time - 6 years later - I've been able to start looking at ALL of these photos. I've kept out a few of my favorites - some I've even shared here already - but the majority of them have been too hard for me to view. That needs to stop though. I've decided that every Friday I'll take you on a little journey with me to Sandpoint, so I can revisit that time and everything that was so awesome about it, and I can also share it with all of you too.
This is the house we bought - 14 Riverview Circle
It was located a mile up a windy road, on a few acres of land at the top of the mountain.
The is the back of the house - and following are a few photos of our "back yard"
First photo. We had literally just arrived after 2 days of driving - I don't think we had even been in the house yet!
Me in the back with Angel and Luna :) I was sooo happy to be there, but I think we were all freaking just a little!
Have a great weekend everyone! And stay tuned for more Sandpoint next Friday...
I had forgotten how gorgeous your home and the scenery were in Sandpoint! Absolutely beautiful...

I still remember my mom telling me that you were moving and thinking "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" So, although it sounds like you miss it, I am glad you are back!
ReplyDeletep.s. I did have love for the apartment therapy posts....make that mad love for those blogs. The only problem was that I clicked on the links and completely got lost and never made my way back to comment!
