Quick update...yesterday we met with the land owner of 'plot A', or, our first choice. Dixon gave a really great speech (I'm WAY too emotional, and not so professional, so I'm glad he was there) and convinced the owner to give it at the price we wanted. Our lawyer is sending someone to the ministry of lands-placey-thing today to clear the title, meanwhile, the land owner invited us to his house to meet his mother (a very good sign!).
So this afternoon my dad, Susan and myself will meet the owner's mom. Once our lawyer has cleared the title, we will proceed with legal signage.
I am trying to upload pictures of the land, but this connection is pretty slow, so we'll see how far I get.
In the meantime- please continue praying that things fall into place. It's looking good right now but of course nothing is final. (Theoretically, if the title is clear, we'll make a down payment and sign a contract. Once the owner also signs, we're pretty much good to go. Our lawyer will mark the land so that we are sure it's ours.)
(okay, so it loaded. this is the land! It's in a very dry area...but very flat, beautiful, peaceful, safe, near the paved road, etc, etc)

Whenever you say "Ministry of ______" it makes me think that you're inside of a Harry Potter book!
Keep plugging away at making that grace visible!
: )
not feeling so great. I'm taking a couple different medicines (I think one's a 'dayquil'ish thing and one is an antibiotic).
I made my earrings, sisto, and when I made them I thought, Car would love these.
Furthermore...yes Michelle I think of Harry Potter too! These funny British governments. No invisibility cloaks, though.
And finally- WHY are you two awake so early?!
That is the most BEAUTIFUL land I have ever seen in my life!!!!! (unless something goes awry and it isn't yours after all, in which case it would be stinko. But, it sounds like things are moving in the right direction. YAHOO, AND THANK YOU LORD!!)
Sorry that you are feeling punk sweetie. How are you Dix?
This is so exciting!!!! love you both.
Sounds like things are going well. I enjoy all the photos so much. When are you coming home, Ashby? Would love for you and Carly, and your mother to come visit..I miss you. If your mother can't come maybe the two of you can before school starts. Love, AJ
oh yeah, how much land are we talking about here?
Dix, you are off the hook. Saw "Mama Mia" today with Sally, Shannon and Molly. (you know-- Molly, the Dancing Queen)
Ten acres, Mama. And I want to see that movie, did you like it?
Daddy's doing well, I'll read him your comment; right now he's frowning at his Viatech inbox.
