Waiting for Fish

Well, not really for fish, but we're waiting. Waiting to hear if our counter offer has been accepted... waiting for the building inspection... waiting for the word that the house is safe and sound and ready for occupancy.
The past few days have been exciting, nerve-wracking, and mostly just plain fun! Richard and I have been daydreaming, planning, wondering, asking, envisioning, and supporting each other through this time of inquiry. This view of the house is from the east looking west. Interesting lines, huh?
We have a really nice realtor that we are working with, Dari Hurley. She bills herself as a holistic realtor, and I think what it means is she is more interested in facilitating the process of home ownership rather than making a sale. Often times they are one in the same, but her focus is on it being a good experience. We really appreciate her thoughts and advice.
We should hear tomorrow if the counter offer was accepted. We already have some of the preliminary testing set up for next week.
We'll post updates as they occur. Richard has been toying with the names 'Fiddle Ridge' and also 'Fiddle Acres'. We welcome your thoughts as far as naming the property goes. As we've talked, and looked at the photos we've taken, we realize that no matter what happens.... if this deal goes through or not... we have had a great few days and now we have a very clear vision of where we want to be.
This house is what we're working toward, and this land is what we want. It will happen. It could happen very, very soon!
