I wish ...Congratulations to Laura and her husband. I wish them well. We have spent this entire Spring and Summer preparing our house to sell. We have also been looking at properties for sale in our price range. My gracious! Oregon is out-of-sight these days on land/home prices. I keep getting discouraged thinking we won't find anything that fits our needs here.<br />How did you find your property in Idaho, if you don't mind me asking. I know I don't want to live in Washington.<br />Like Laura, I've been following your blog and feel as if I've come to know you and your family. <br />We own our home and are free and clear of debt. The only problem is we have to sell our house in order to buy another. Any suggestions? We aren't in a position to rent while we search because we have 6 English Bulldogs and I don't know of any landlord that would be willing to rent to us due to the dogs (our kids). Feels like we are in a catch 22 right now and I feel as if there are no hand-holds to help us up and over the hump.<br />Thanks for all your posts and sharing with us through your blog. You are the highlight of my days!<br />Bobbie :)Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956575338303300789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-41023376483729439212014-08-30T17:07:55.696-07:002014-08-30T17:07:55.696-07:00I'm working on making the same dream come true...I'm working on making the same dream come true as well. And, I'm also getting strange looks from family and friends. I've got a long way to go, but a good and realistic plan to get there. I'm sooo looking forward to being in a more liberty minded area than where I live now!Navy91https://www.blogger.com/profile/09023454206877290403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-81158619217580913822014-08-30T15:37:31.330-07:002014-08-30T15:37:31.330-07:00Thank you so much for sharing my story, Patrice.

But we're extremely happy to be finally moving there!Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-44976907419300985052014-08-30T11:04:11.623-07:002014-08-30T11:04:11.623-07:00I'm totally jealous right now.

Really you've shared so much of your lives I'd love even to visit the area one day. Perhaps you and Enola should open a Rural Life B&B in the area. [Sort of joking/kind of serious] ;-) <br />Until I too can one day confidently attempt living the dream and making my own way, I'll have to keep reading and following you and of course Enola's website too<br />Best Wishes<br />~Clare Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
