We actually put a contract on a piece of land - 15 acres about 5 miles from
where we are now.  The front is cleared and growing thick, beautiful bermuda
grass, the back has heavy woods with a creek bed running through it.  We've
already staked out where the house and barn will go, and put up the feeder
to encourage the deer to hang around.  Many many deer tracks!  It's very
exciting!  We have to close on the sell of our house, then on the sale of
the land, the immediately sell 10 acres to afford to build a house on the 5
acres we're keeping.  Otherwise, we'll pitch a tent on our lovely 15 acres,
as we can't afford to do both at this time!  It's awesome to watch God's
hand moving in this entire process, for which we've been praying 10 years or
so!  Hopefully, in about March/April we'll start construction on the house.
And some really cool news - we're renting THIS house from the buyer until
our new one is livable, so we only have to move once!
