In an effort to keep events in a chronological order for the doings and goings on at "The Property" or better known to Logan as the "Poptee", I am going to attempt to try to keep this updated....

Dear Friends and Family (from Jason),
Sarah and I make a lifestyle changing purchase today that will allow us to achieve our dream of country living without leaving the convenience of the city. However, we had the good fortune to purchase 13 acres just 2 miles from our current home for a very reasonable price. We purchased the land from Adolphous Bush IV and he had owned this tract since 1912. It’s a very scenic piece completely surrounded by woods with a sloping hillside and a flat area along Belleau Creek. Approximately 8 acres is currently being farmed and we plan to continue with that. Fort Zumwalt North High School borders the property completely on one side. We’ve seen many deer tracks but have yet to see them in person and we’ve watched turkeys pecking around in the corner of the field one evening last week.
We plan to put our house on the marked soon and hope our good luck continues and we are able to sell during the prime summer months. That sale will allow us to start construction on our new home and barn on the property. In order to manage the construction and also avoid a double move we plan to live temporarily in a camper trailer on the land (yes, you can call us rednecks). The kids are looking forward to their “extended” camping trip and the tight living arrangements will be an incentive to get the construction completed as quickly as possible!
So if you know anyone who is looking for an updated 4 bedroom ranch in St. Peters there will be one on the market soon!
Jason, Sarah, Emma, and Logan
