Snow!
Well, Mary Jeanette sent us this nice little link to give us a taste of what we can expect if we make the transition to Iowa. Brrrrrrr.... just looking makes me cold! ;)
Here are some pictures of one of the houses we are going to look at in Newton. David and I are pretty partial to it already. It was built in 1920 and it used to be a boarding house. It is 2256 sq ft, 4br, 3ba, a corner lot that is almost 1/4 acre, central air, a basement and a third floor that is unfinished. It's listed at $72,ooo. I like that it still has doors to the different rooms so in winter you can just shut off rooms and live in a smaller space without having to heat the whole house.
