Waiting to Exhale

So...
Last week we found a farm.

It's wonderful.
It's also pretty gross.  Like, 35 year old carpeting gross.

I hate carpet.





It's in a very nice and beautiful area so, we got creative and wrote up a (rather lovely) proposal for the landlord... offering to bring the house into the 21st century in a myriad of ways and sign a nice long lease... in exchange for a discount on the rent (his price seems a bit high based on the funky-ness of the house).

We sent everything off last Thursday... I don't think I have taken a breath since then.
We just love this house.

I know there are a handful of you that have written me to say that you pray for my family and I every day...
Keep it up!  And thank you so much!!!!!!!!

Bonne Semaine!

what a fantastic place...temporary I gather as opposed to a life long commitment! I will always agree with someone who doesn't like carpet...carpet such as wall to wall stuff is absurd and always inappropriate and down right UGLY! can't wait to see what you do to this place <3

janzi said...

when I really want to buy a house, I get it a little present, so that, even if someone else has made an offer, I usually get the house... have been asked if I was a witch before now, but no, I just follow what a dear person told me many years ago... buy a gift for it, something really small, and then let it all fall into place... we are all rooting for you to get the house, so do tell when you hear back, and dont take the first no as an answer, keep on going til you do get it!!!

What a great challenge to your creativity. Praying for your best interests. And hope it all happens before the hidden real estate tax in Obamacare. God bless, Peggy

Amusing Provincial said...

So very excited to see this house with your flair!!!

melyssa said...

And you'd be renting?! How did I not know you could find your dream house, renting?! We lost our home to foreclosure and bankruptcy this past year, so we won't be buying a house for a long, long time...It never occurred to me we could find something so lovely and not have to buy it!

(Great. Now I'm thinking about it. I hate moving).
