I always wanted a long drive with my house toward the back of my little bit of land, with fruit trees lining it! Nothing special...just some sand plums...so I could make a bunch of jelly.

I have so clear in my mind just exactly what I want. I picked up an old gardening book that I got when Steve and I first got married 12 years ago and there, sketched in the inside cover of the book was a house, much like Corin's and the layout of my little bit of land.

Are you guys open to opportunity if it presents itself? Just curious, cuz our place was an unexpected find. We were bored one day and were looking at model homes- cheap entertainment- daydreaming about the pie-in-the-sky house we wanted when we heard about this property. We drove out, fell in love at first sight with it and the price was right (It's about 100K cheaper to build in NASCAR county than the county we were living in). We were completely unprepared in every respect but we vowed to do whatever it took to buy this spot. So we did. And we have to pinch ourselves everyday.
