How awesome! I am so happy for you and your husband. Happy you were able to come through breast cancer and happy you found the farm of your dreams. You are inspiring. We would love to have a farm in a place as beautiful as Tennessee. We are actually vacationing there this fall. For the first time. And I am "hoping" that by some miracle :), we happen upon our own piece of heaven on earth.<br />My sister moved to Tennessee a few years ago from California and they have never been happier. I can't wait for our trip. I am looking forward to the rest of your story as it happens.

Like you said: there is a just a peaceful about it. My husband took an early retirement - we knew that if he watied to "retirement" age we wouldn't be able to work like we can now. Yes, it is a definite financial sacrifice and a decision that we weighed heavily. We haven't regretted one day of it.

I'm only 33 right now but just recently my husband and I have been discussing the very real possibility of buying a farm in about 10 years which is way before retirement age! I grew up in the city but visited my grandparents farm every summer for a couple of weeks. There was always something so peaceful about it. I never realized how much I want to live in the country until we bought the 6 acres we are on now. Every day, my heart is tugging me more and more in the direction of farming than I ever imagined. I'm so happy to read that your story continues happily down that path despite the huge challenge it took you to get there. I'll be anxious to see the pictures of the house and read of your adventures in this new chapter of your life.CityGirlCountryBlokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725973403198005737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323174088524237837.post-12717276076527238992013-07-22T12:47:31.318-05:002013-07-22T12:47:31.318-05:00What a beautiful story with a happy ending.

He gave us that land before he lost his battle to cancer two years ago yesterday. He would have so loved to have seen this home finished but he didn't make it - but I know he looks down on us and his memory is all around us. God bless you and your story and may all your days ahead be happy and healthy.
