It’s Official!

Praise God for His guidance and goodness! Our offer was accepted, and we’re now the proud owners of six and a half acres of beautiful cow pasture land…

…And it’s all just for us!

Yes, I said cow pasture; imagine that! Our house will sit on the top of a sloping knoll, and the surrounding land extends to a small creek and a little beyond. Located in the corner of two, very quiet country roads, and on sunny days you see the mountains in the distance. (if you’ve forgotten what the land looks like, go back and take a look at the first fifteen pictures at Trips to Tennessee)

This by no means is the end of our journey – we still have so much ahead of us! (there’s cow patties to shovel, for one thing…:-) The land also has to be graded and perked (putting in septic and water) before we can put our manufactured home on it, and of course the house first has to be built in order to do that.

Lots and lots of things to do, countless decisions to make, and more. We’d appreciate your prayers!

The adventure continues!

    Avatar rage is a beautiful thing. The avatars are a very cool touch of bling by the way Walter, thanks for the bling job. Oh and yeah, way to go on roping the cowyard. That’s the Willis way to do it, smooth operating.

    Ah! I see Mr. Darcy now has an avatar! Excellent. Capital indeed! I still need to find a better one for me… I think a closeup would be nicer.

    Thanks Sir Valiant! That’s okay about your recent absence. I hope school is going well with you?

    School is going well… I am not quite where I want to be in Greek class… But other than that I am ahead of schedule!

  • Mr. Darcy

    March 6, 2008 at 8:52 pm

    Yes, yes, nice and new and shiny is it not, my precious? And yes, yes again, the size of the avatar is very itsy bitsy, can’t fit much in there. And as we all know, bigger is better — come, let us see your lovely face!

    All hail Mr. Inbothiggam, I’m afraid I do forget, but did you say you are an Indiana man?

    Yes I am a hosier! Love this state!

  • Mr. Darcy

    Ah excellent, I myself am, like most folks here, in a New York state of mind. I have a good friend who goes to school in Indiana though, at Taylor University — what school do you hail from, for curiousity?

    I go to the Christian Leaders Institute. It is a small online college based out of Chicago IL. I am studying to be a preacher. How about your self?

    That’s brilliant, my pop’s a pastor, which makes me the resident PK of these here parts. I’m an artist, myself — which is of course a simplified way of saying ‘unemployed silly little fellow with delusions of grandeur’. But all we can do is what God gives us, afterall. Peace to you.

    What kind of art? I would like to see some!

  • Mr. Darcy

    March 14, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    Oh, a little of everything, my friend. I’d be more than happy to show you some, but it’s none of it really ready to be shown presently… Sorry, but when it is ready, you’ll hear about it. I write mainly, working on a fantasy epic, also lots of short stories and lots of poetry. And I paint. And draw a little and play music. A little of everything. Thanks for the interest. : )
