We've been looking for a little more 'elbow room' for a while now. We just placed an offer on a prooperty that has 21 acres and a stream on it - lowballed it, and they accepted it contingent upon the sales of our house. Looks like if we can sell our house quickly, we've got a brand new mortgage to babysit. Excited and nervous at the same time. Here a picture of the girls taking a walk by the stream (there's a much bigger river to the left, behind the island). If it worked out, it'd mean a much shorter drive for Kirsten to work, and a much longer one for me. Currently it's a horse farm, but we'd likely let the pastures grow up into forest (i don't know anything about horses except they sound like a lot of work). The house isn't quite what we'd like it to be (we really like our place now), but we'd be getting it for the land, not necessarily the house. Over the next few years we'd be able to make all the changes we'd need to to get it 'up to speed' if you will, but it's certainly livable now, just not aesthetically our style.
