Orange flags are the bad ones. We were looking for red!
The wrong kind of soil all around us!
Good bye my beautiful almost land!
Well for those of you who know us we have wanted to move out of the subdivision lifestyle for a long time. We "almost" have gotten so many pieces of property but something always happens. We were so so close this time. About a month ago we found the most beautiful piece of land, fairly priced eight acres. We met with a builder. Put an offer on the land-started packing up out house. In fact I was thinking I must really be crazy to go back to school at the same time I was selling a house and building a house. The customer accepted our offer so the chase was on. Our closing date was set- earnest money paid. We were ready to go forward. All the land around this certain piece of property perked. It had once been a cotton field and the owner was 85 years old single and just not needing a cotton field any more. So this past Wednesday was the big day to perk the property. Steve and I met the soil group at the perfect piece of land. We walked the land everywhere-they dug and dug. NO PERK..NONE..NADA...NO perk means NO HOUSE. Oh well on to something new! Maybe next time!

When we get back from China, and get all settled with Max, we will find some together :)!!!
That's when it will happen...remember we put our order in years ago???
Sorry, it didn't work out for you. I know you will find the perfect spot. It's out there waiting. Depending on what happens with Warrior next year, mission and then Beauty off. We are staying put. Saving and maybe buy a little spot out where they are. If I decide on no new house then we have decided on doing the travelling option. Being home as little as possible! LOL
Make sure you have a spot for your carolina family to come stay.
How frustrating! I'm sure that has been a big emotional rollercoaster for you with everything else going on!
