We Bought a Farmhouse!




We are moving! After years of casually looking for a farmhouse on acreage, we have finally found one that we have fallen in love with.  We will be leaving our Snohomish County roots and moving north to the gorgeous Skagit Valley.


My husband TJ and I have always dreamed of having acreage with views. We have looked nearly every day since we got married for a farmhouse on some property. We had always envisioned our “forever home” to be in Snohomish where we were both born and raised. But Snohomish has become quite competitive and pricey and we had to accept that it is not quite the same small quiet town we were raised up in. However, Snohomish, will always be “home” to us!

Well we are very excited to experience and live in a new community up in the beautiful country! Skagit Valley is home to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival every spring and fields everywhere are booming with bright colors. Also, the farmhouse is only about three minutes away from Snow Goose Produce which has the very best and biggest ice cream cones ever!


If any of you know TJ and I, we like to be busy, adventurous, and take on too much at the same time! Well we put an offer on the farmhouse, cleaned our entire home to get ready to sale, left the country to Thailand, and sold our home all within a week! Because why not decide to buy a house and sell your home the same week you have a vacation planned half way across the world?!

We cannot wait to move in and start making the farmhouse our home! We have lots of fun projects ahead and visions for the property and invite you to join a long here with updates on the Gionet farm life. I will share more pictures and details of the farmhouse soon!

A cool side-note: We put our offer in the same day we went out to Chinese dinner with TJ’s family. I was coming late from work so I got the last fortune cookie. Now I am not a very superstitious person at all but THIS was COOL! Here is what my fortune read:
