And lots of photo ops. Great news :)

I love the old farm house look and having your own land will be a lot of fun. I hope it goes through! Looks like a great opportunity!

It would mean staying put for a while. Our kids are getting older, and our pace of life here is relaxed. Relocating again would most likely kill that pace for years, and throw the kids into another round of "who are my friends?" and I find that both are hard to do willingly. We were seriously considering a move to Seattle that would have probably taken place this month. But when we really were honest with ourselves, we realized that our dream of living on and tending land is something we would like to do with the kids, and a move away from here would postpone it for years and years (and our A is already 11.5!). Our feelings are mixed as well. It is hard to choose between living closer to more family, and providing roots for ourselves and our kids. We are tired of moving, and tired of leaving, but tired too of being far away. Yes, that is the hard part. It would mean staying put for a while.

Great news. Does this mean there is less of a chance that you would move to the PNW? Mildly envious of all that beautiful land... OK, maybe wildly envious. I confess to mixed feelings:
