Well, the land that we stumbled upon was not as it had first seemed.  For starters the actual land for sale is only 49 acres, not 160.  This is a huge difference when we already own 22.  But more than that, the land has been for sale for years and it is obvious why:  the guy is asking a small fortune!  The land is beautiful-complete with flowing waters and waterfalls, but not $$$,$$$ beautiful.  So, we will wait.  Perhaps in a few years the owner will drop the price or would accept a lower price...which is great considering I have a lot of saving to do!

Nothing too exciting going on today.  It is colder than cold and we haven't seen sun in well over 24 hours.  When I go outside I can hear the hum of generators all around.  Expensive days for those of us living off the GRID.

Since I have little to write about today and because I was tagged by my friend Heather (who by the way is giving away a fabulous candle) I give you the following MeMe:

A bit about me:

1.)  What I was doing ten years ago:  I was a much different person than I am now.  I was a young mom and a young wife and liked to do things my own way.  We had just moved to a new town and hubby had taken a new job.  I was knee deep in toddler stuff and it wouldn't be long before God would show me His way for being a mommy and a wife.

2.)  What I was doing five years ago:  By this time I was well on my way to being the woman I am today.  I had mended relationships and was in my 2nd year of homeschool.  I knew that 'bringing public education home" wasn't the answer.  I learned from aged homeschool moms about Charlotte Mason and was loving life!  About this time we really started to feel Montana tugging at our hearts.

3.)  One year ago:  We started making our way to Montana.  We made plans and started to see them out.  I wasn't as prepared as I should have been, but Montana was on our minds...we were just waiting to see how the Lord would work out the details.

4.)  Yesterday:  Ugh...how boring!  Woke up, made breakfast, read aloud, taught lessons, did a load of laundry, taught some more lessons, fixed lunch, played with the children, did some training, made dinner, talked with my mom, cleaned up dinner, took a bath, read, lights out!

5.)  Five snacks I enjoy:

• Cheesy Salsa Dip and Chips
• Brie and Apples
• Blue Cheese Wedge Salad w/Toasted Pine Nuts
• Creme Brulee
• Cheesecake

6.)  Five things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million dollars:

• Support NGJ in their translation of Good and Evil
• Move my parents close to me
• Build my dream house as close to YNP as possible
• Help my children in starting their dream careers
• Backpack through Europe

7.)  Five locations I would like to run away to:

• The Inn at Cape Kiwanda
• My parent's house
• A small out of the way inn in France
• The Thorofare of Yellowstone
• A deserted island

8.)  Five bad habits I have:

• Spoiling my children
• Talking too loudly and too often about conservation
• Sleeping in
• Eating junk food
• Letting my dog Maddie get away with naughtiness

9.)  Five things I like doing:

• Wolf watching
• Reading historical fiction and stories of women pioneers
• Baking yummy seasonal treats
• Traveling and road trips
• Hiking in beautiful places with my family

10.)  Five TV shows I like

• The only TV show I watch is Survivor

11.)  Five things I hate doing:

• Listening to ignorant people
• Smiling when I am angry
• Cleaning up dog messes
• Watching a family member in pain
• Waving good-bye as hubby leaves for a business trip

12.)  Five biggest joys of the moment:

• Walking in a blissful marriage
• Teaching my children history and science
• Reaching out to a hurting neighbor
• The fall season
• Planning my Virginia trip

Who am I tagging?  No one...but feel free to use this and if you do, let me know!

Enjoy today!

I'm not surprised to hear about the price of the land.

I enjoyed reading your meme.
