We are so happy about our latest news... We bought a piece of land to build a house on!! It will take a long time and lots of work-- but it's such a beautiful spot! Our own little nature preserve (translation for Brian: hunting goldmine!) We have 6.6 acres in Montezuma, NY-- it's mostly wooded, with trails through the woods, a barn, a swampy part in the back, a creek running along the side and lots of flowers and big rocks! (We have a school bus for some reason too- but obviously that's not staying!) It came already equiped with a doublewide trailer (a.k.a. the "job trailer"!!), which includes a well and a septic system that was recently redone to accommodate a four bedroom home. We have to thank our great friend Tom for helping us find and purchase our dream... (he's the auction expert!!) I bit all my nails off last Wednesday- it was parcel #14- so it took forever to get to it, and even longer it seemed to bid on it!!! (the bidding was actually fast, of course, it just seemed like an eternity!) I still can't believe it's true- but it's ours!!! (it'll be more official in 30 days when we have all the paperwork finished and the deed in our hands, but whatever!)
The boys have already picked out where their tree house will be and where we can have our bonfire. (Daddy helped find good spots) Daddy even picked out where his tree stands will go. Apparently there are a lot of BIG deer around... we saw lots of tracks. Oh yeah- and the house will have a great place too! The existing well and septic are actually in the right place so we can put the house where we want to- we just need our favorite architect, Jill, and our favorite engineer, Jeremy, to help us with our house plan! It will all come together soon- but for now... we know where we're going to be!

Just remember that in order to acheive your dream home, Auntie Martha has to have her's finished! But the advantage of that is I'll lend a very sympathetic ear when you need to vent! Been there, done that!
P.S. Grama Colleen...if you're having an in-law apt there, we have a waiting list for your room already (in fact one painter offered to cook & do dishes-very tempting);so please let us know when you have a decision!
