After more than a year of searching, nagging our poor realtor, crying when things we thought we wanted sold, dragging the kids to countless open houses and driving around fruitlessly in the country, we found some land that we like! We have signed a contract and are supposed to close next Thursday. We are so excited! We are realists, though and know that we most likely won't be able to build for a couple of years. At least we know where we will be, what is possible there, and that it will be ours! The land sits about 3 miles from where we currently live.
The kids have already decided that there is (pictured above) the 'perfect' treehouse tree, and have big plans for dad and all his tools. Colin doesn't understand why we won't just drop him and his friend Zac off out there with a tent and some food and let them camp out for a few days. They can catch fish and make their own campfire- it will be great - please mom?? UUUMMMM I don't think so son! But we can go out and fish in the pond and spend some time out there if you like, my pouting 10 year old!
Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well at the closing next week!
