Ten days ago, we had the opportunity to buy a house on 21 acres.  Today, I sit with the official loan papers on my desk.  They say yes, you can have your farm.

Suddenly it is all sinking in that we can do this and it is amazing.  My husband and I walked around hardware stores and farming stores today just looking at all the stuff we'll need soon.  It felt wonderful. 

Looking at floor and paint samples.  The prices of tools and what we'll really need as apposed to what just looks neat to own.  Planning out loud where we want to build a chicken coop and goat pen.  What kind of fencing we'll need.

What's the best is just this feeling of calm I have right now knowing we can do this.  It's going to be hard.  Really hard at times, but so much more fulfilling than anything that we're doing right now.
