Our Final Resting Place

It's a very exciting as well as unsettling time around our house right now.  We finally had our first offer on our house, then we countered it, then they accepted it...so now we have to wait and see how things play out.  We could be homeless at the end of June! 

After having the house on the market for over a year, the offer was a terrific surprise, but having the first one be a good one as well as the final one is a bit overwhelming.  Not only will I be trying to wind up the school year, finish report cards, and make sure the kids get to all their end of year activities, but now we'll be packing more boxes!! 

And in addition to concentrating on getting out of this house, we have to find someplace to live.  It's going to be crazy here real soon!  We are planning to build a house.  We thought about buying one already built, but just haven't been able to find a house we like in the price range, or the location, or the right size property to fit our needs.

So today we went to talk to a man about a piece of land.  Six beautiful acres to build our "Final Resting Place" as we call it...the house that we want to retire in, have the kids come home from college to (hint hint girls!), spoil the grandkids and all that.  Today we went over to Idaho and made a deal.  Now we just need to get building!  Here's DD and CC at our next abode.  We may be setting up a travel trailer on it for a bit...we shall see.

The house is going to start back by the big pile of dirt.  We will share the place with elk, moose, coyotes and deer!  Isn't it a slice of heaven?  One of the added benefits...there are huckleberry bushes everywhere!  So we won't have to go far to fill our crepes in the fall :-)
