Hello World

Hi. This blog is dedicated to my husband and my search for a new home and then making that home self-sufficient, or Off-Grid. I figured it would be a great story to share. So I'll start with who we are and where we currently live. We are a family of six, one husband and wife, one son (11), and three daughters (8, 7, and 5) and our various pets (One dog, two cats, hermit crabs and fish). We live in Baltimore,MD and are looking to move to a more rural setting to take ourselves off the grid. We are looking currently in western Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Luckily my husband and I work from home so we have a little more freedom as we will be taking our jobs with us. This journey will surely have its ups and downs but it will definitely not be boring. And for any of you out there thinking of doing the same thing you can watch us do all the mistakes and then get it right the first time. I welcome comments and advice as we will surely need them. We both grew up in the suburbs around Baltimore so this is going to be interesting. I hope you come along for the ride.
