Yesterday I visited the real estate agents that are selling the land I’m interested in. My first offer was rejected, and after a couple of days of consideration I upped the offer. I got a call back an hour later – they said yes! Wow… I’ll be a landowner!

This morning I popped in at the real estate agents’ and sign the papers. So now it’s official – well, other than the minor detail where I part ways with a humongous sum of money. And this is just the land… the idea is to build a cabin, too! Yikes, what did I get myself into?
