We closed on the land just over a month ago. We are anxious to start the process of building our house. However, the process starts with a driveway permit. Our obstacle there is we can’t do that permit until we quit claim deed the 5 acres to Mom and Dad and Tori and Matt. We couldn’t complete the paperwork until the county completed the recording of our purchase. With a February weekend with highs in the low 60’s and lows in the 40’s it sounded like camping was in order. Rod spent Saturday getting everything ready - setting up the tent, firewood, chairs, and the cooking supplies. He picked a spot by the creek to pitch the tent. The evening was beautiful and as we sat by the fire it made everything just seem real.
Rod cooked his dinner of deer steaks, roasted veggies, and corn muffin sticks. Of course we also had s’mores. Moose and Rose loved drinking from and walking through the creek. They were mostly good in the tent. Rose barked at a coyote once and Moose had to go out to the bathroom once. We went to sleep listening to the flowing creek. Breakfast was eggs, veggies, and cinnamon rolls.
All in all - we are just so excited about what lies ahead. We know it will be hard work but we are not scared of working hard.
