I love your humorous take on your new living arrangements and surroundings. It must be quite an adjustment. Still, just think of all the cool, adventurous stories you'll be able to tell the rest of your life.
I mean, come on...bucket baths and candle lit dinners- it's both rustic AND romantic! Well- only maybe in my imagination but still, I think it's so cool what your doing. Your blog is the best! :-)
