Then it happened.....Bruce was doing some work for a realtor and just mentioned that he would be interested in a place in the country if something came up. Of course, it would have to be very cheap. Just a couple days later, he was called about this place and we made an offer the same day. The next couple of weeks were an emotional roller coaster. This was a lifelong dream, we could hardly believe it could happen. Was this even God's will for our lives at this time? We put it in His hands. It was still an emotional roller coaster. It looked like we weren't going to get it when we were told another offer came in. Oh, I can't tell you how nerve racking that time was. If I could have slept through it, I would have! In the end, we got the place for a mere $25,000. Does that even sound real? Four and a half acres, ours. There was a catch. There were mountains of trash, everywhere; in the house, in the yard, on the porch, in the barns; just everywhere. Most of the people we have shown it to just look on in disbelief. We have a ways to go, but here are the first pictures. When we got this place, I actually felt like I was in a dream.

HI Mrs. B,
I'm so glad you made a blog about your house. It will be fun to see the progress you guys are making. Wow! The rooms looks so much better without all that trash. Has Mr. B dug a hole for all the trash yet ( or what are you guys doing with it? )?
we still plan to dig a hole to burn the trash. right now we are tearing the inside up. stay tuned.
