Land Purchase

November 2005 we purchased our house. When we bought it we were paying $1000/mo in renting a house and were tired of throwing our money to nothing. We bought under the assumption that we'd stay in this modest, but small (1381sq ft) house for a few years, but not forever. Afterall, it's a small lot and not going to be able to suit our needs once we expand. My brother in law, Andy, (Jurny's dad - see Jurny below - Maysen's twin almost) is a contractor and builds homes here in town. A few years back he purchased some acreage right outside town in the country and hills.

We've dabbled in the thought of buying some property from him. Today we went and looked - and have decided once Andy gets the "ok" from the county to divide, we're hoping to buy 1.5 acres from him. We'll keep it underdeveloped as you see above - and once we sell our house, etc we'll start to develope it. But it is so gorgeous up there. Very peaceful ... in fact the only sounds you hear is the rare car passing and the gurgling stream that runs behind the property.

I'm anxious to see how this pans out ...
