A man and his dream....and the wife who loves him! lol

Dream Home

Oh my goodness gracious...so above is a link to the listing of that farm we went to look at. Ok so, it may sound totllay crazy but husband is trying to figure out a way that we can actually get this place. And mostly I think he is totally out of his mind, but kind of I want to believe him...

It turns out we go to church with the some of the family that owns the farm. It has been for sale for several years. The farm belonged to the grandparents who, when they passed, left the farm to all the kids/grandkids. None of them actually live there or farm it (but it is actively being farmed by someone who rents the ground)but they are asking what they are for it because of the whole belief in this county that growth is coming and a few of the heirs want to get rich by selling it to someone who will subdivide it. However, the growth isn't coming nearly as fast as people hoped it would, because of the people like them who are jacking the price of their land up in hopes of making it rich when the growth comes to the area...it's a vicious cycle...

anyways, after talking today with one of the heirs, there is a glimmer of hope that they would take a lot less than the asking price, and most of the heirs are wanting to sell to someone that would keep it farm land. Factor in the fact that there may be farm grants (a friend of husband's received $250,000.00 to purchase a farm in Ohio) and whatever we collect in renting out the farm land, it may not be as out of our reach as we thought.

So you see how I'm getting sucked into my husband's little dream world....plus if you look at the link, it's just purty there!! I mean ideally this is the type of place that in my happy place, I'm at...lol...and there'd be plenty of room for the whole family to come down and stay...

Anyways...just wanted ya'll to know that our heads are still way in the clouds down here...

On another more very exciting note, I have been meaning to share this with you all but just hadn't gotten around to it...but anyway, husband and I have been talking a lot more about it lately and plan to get very serious about it right after the holidays....

So ya'll know I've been doing the Chlomid thing, and we're not giving up hope there but we're also not getting any younger while we wait for that to come through for us. The doctor has told me that if c-mid wasn't working for me after six months she was going to recommend a fetility specialist. And after a lot of hard thinking and praying about that, I just do not feel comfortable with going the whole in vitro or whatever other fancy tricks they have to make a women pregnant...so husband and I have been talking seriously about the adoption route. Even a long time ago when we talked about a family, husband said he always wanted a little china girl...so I think we are definately going to pursue adoption!! I told husband that that should be our goal for 2007 - I want a baby!

What's funny is that I was talking to sister on the phone earlier today and she told me that Skinny Cousin and her husband are in the process of doing that too!! So we might have 2 little china girls in the family, who knows!

I just feel like rather than going the fancy fertilization route, there are so many "unwanted" (they really aren't unwanted because someone somewhere wants them!!) children in the world who need loving families...and I am so all about pro-life...I really need to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak...ya know?!

Anyways, please keep us in your prayers...we have a lot to be praying about!!

Merry Christmas!!
