Wednesday August 10

Big changes are happening around the Matthews home.

While we were in Utah, Brent got an email from our realtor friend about some property for sale.

We have been having him send us info on land for sale, but it has always been pretty over priced.

When Brent got his email, it looked perfect.

He actually put in an offer before we even saw the place in person.

When we came home from Utah, before we even got home, we stopped by the place, and fell in love.

But it was a bank owned property and we had no idea how many offers they had put in for the place.

On Monday, our realtor said they had multiple offers and they needed our highest offer by that evening.

Well, we just found out this morning that we got the place!!!!

We really got it!!!!

And it was a steal.

4.5 acres!!!!

This is what we have always wanted for our family.

The house is an old one, and we will have to fix it up a bit.

But it is the land we fell in love with.

We are very excited for all the possibilities of this place.

We are sad to leave our friends and neighbors.....but we won't be too far, it is still here in Meridian.

There is still a lot to figure out....like school for the kids, selling this house, packing....

We will be busy for sure!

And there will be plenty of work to do at the new place.

It has been vacant for 4 years....and there is a lot of weeds and dead stuff to be cleaned up.

But it will be so worth all the hard work!!!
