March 9

March 9th, put it on your calendars baby because that's when we close on our new land! HOLLER! Bryan and I had been scoping out this piece of land for about a week (we looked ALL OVER Blacksburg, and couldn't find anything that fell within our parameters, and then we stumbled upon this piece and knew it was it), when we finally got with our realtor. She was something special, but I think it's all going to turn out just fine with her, and she could potentially be the one we go with to list our current home when it's time. Bryan was able to come in from being out of town, so we were able to meet with her last Thursday to put an offer on the land. After what seemed like years, we finally heard back today, and our initial offer was accepted! We're super excited, and we are praying that everything goes as smoothly as possible until we close.

Everything you see in the picture will be ours. It's 2.4 acres just outside of town. The surrounding homes are NICE to put it lightly. We'd have to sell each of our children in the black market to even pretend to be able to compete with them, but we'll have a lovely home nonetheless. :) (I've been searching blueprints online!) There is a bit of an eyesore across the street to the bottom left of the property back behind where the photo is taken from (shady house with goats!), but we'll be putting a privacy fence up and planting some more trees.

We're one step closer! :)
