I should start at the beginning right? :) Ever since we moved into our house I have had the nagging fear of having to move again; under very short notice. The house was for sale plus facing for closure, so the possibility of staying here long term looked slim. [Unless of course we wanted to buy it ourselves] There are almost 80 acres with this shop/house & Dale really didn't have the equipment of desire to try & farm all this land. We really like living here,the view is awesome & the children have got lots of room to roam. The closest neighbor is a very sweet lady & well I could go on & on but I think you get the drift.:)
Anyway back in December it looked like it was going to officially go into foreclosure & I had visions of coming home from vacation & seeing a notice on the door that we were to vacate immediately. Soon after this a realtor came through again to take updated photos, she was very informative & laid my fears of eviction to rest.:) As long as we are paying rent, we are fine & if they do want us to move they will give us several months notice...
The foreclosure auction was postponed till February, [we never did hear why that happened] Anyway in January this sweet couple went through the house & we could tell what this man wanted was all the LAND! We figured if anyone would buy it they would, so we started searching craigslist in earnest for a rental house. 2 weeks later we found out he had submitted an offer but... If they do buy it they want us to STAY... Really??? Wow, Briana's prayers were being answered! She really wanted to stay here & had been faithfully praying that if possible whoever buys it would let us stay.:)
Fast forward to the present, yes they bought it & yes we are staying! They are keeping the rent at the same price we were paying plus are planning to make some improvements to the landscape around the shop. :) They said we can stay as LONG as we want to, all he really wanted was the land & the shop was part of the package. So the field will get put to use, we can't wait to see it transformed! In the fall he plans to put cows in it...We are so excited.:)
Anyway, this whole thing feels like a win,win, win situation! Dave C's got the place sold, Chris gets the land he wanted & we get to stay! Yay!!!
Later this week I plan to celebrate by painting our bedroom & hanging curtains...
Of course we should have been sipping tea. But I don't have any tea so we enjoyed coffee. [In my opinion its much better then tea!]
So blessed to be this little indian's mama
