To make a very long story short, my husband just found out a couple weeks ago that we are pre-approved for a loan and we can now start looking for THE FARM. This has been almost a four year wait. I. Am. So. ExciteD!!!
We are going to look at farms either Wednesday or Thursday of this next week. We have five properties on our list. :) I am soooooo excited! (Cautiously, though...since I don't want anything to fall through, and I won't believe anything is real until I have papers signed and keys in my hand.)
Will keep you updated!! Cross your fingers for us!! :)

Oh, Amy I'm sorry. A few things fell through for is too when looking for homes. It just means it want the *right* one. Something perfect is out there, just for you. Keep your chin up. You'll get your farm yet.

Hang in there Amy! We are farm shopping too and I have made three trips up to Colorado from New Mexico! The perfect farm is out there waiting for you!

No we did not get the place, closing fell through four days before it was supposed to happen. (Moving day should have been today, actually.) Trying to figure out different options on what to do. Chin up, things will work out!

That is a fabulous sign. Finding a place that doesn't consume you with repairs is a big deal!

Amy, I believe in signs, too and if ever there was one, it sure sounds like you got one in spades! I hope all works out for you.

and can I tell you gals, I thought it was a sign, because when we walked into the house we ended up making the offer on, there was a pair of THE cowboys boots I have always wanted in MY size sitting at the front door...and there was a MaryJanesFarm magazine on the counter!!!

We looked at the three farms. Two were in pretty bad disrepair and needed a LOT of work. One basically had a swimming pool in the basement that shouldn't have been there (if you know what I mean) and the other the house was fine but every single out building was unusable. Not that we aren't willing to do some work (obviously) but within the same price range, we did find the third place that we ABSOLUTELY loved and it needs a lot less work done to it. We made an offer on it yesterday!! When I know more, I will let you farmgirls know!
