Well as we look for our new home in the Mankato area.. I came across a farm house. I emailed the lady about it and just from the pix. I could tell what a great place this could be for all my boys. We still don't know yet on the town home if we got that but to keep our options open I wanted to see this home. We went last Sunday and we drove by it 1st just wanting to see the area, and the feelings we got as we drove around, was this sense of peace. I don't know how to explain it but it was just this sense of belonging. as we drove into the driveway we saw the front porch. This porch just flashed me sitting in a rocking chair on a sunny day watching the boys run through a sprinkler, and me sipping some lemonade.. I mean it was this so surreal image I had in my head. Then we met the people who live there now. Won't mention names as not sure they would want that but lets call them Jack and Kris.. Very nice people you walk into a kitchen that has been updated very nicely but yet it still has the farm feeling to it as well, I then had an image of me making apple pies in this kitchen.. and for you all who know me and cooking right! ya.. LOL... but I could see it happening. Then we went down stairs to the brand new basement was just put in and I see OHHH the storage! NO more my room being the storage room! how nice would that be... to put boys bigger toys (trucks, and train table and trains) down there.. think of the tracks Ethan could build! wow! and then I saw angles sing.. and washer and a DRYER!!! but it gets better as you open the Storm cellar doors it still takes me right outside to the clothes LINE!! you all know much I love to hang my clothes! awww... OK.. so back upstairs we go.. the dinning room I see my buying a nice big ole fashion table.. a table to have REAL meals at! this room has a built in hutch as well.. so pretty. then you walk into the family room so nice and big... I see me snuggled up on the couch reading a good book in there or on Christmas morning the boys going at it with new gifts. now once you go back into the dinning room there is another room they use this as a office but I think I see it as a guest bedroom as there is a 1/2 bath in this room as well. but I want to get an antic daybed type of thing or was even looking at some really cute futons that would be cute in there. I would do this room just so cute but simple and sweet.. ohh the visions I have! then you go up stairs.. on the left would be Caleb's room simple but cute and nice closet space. then you go to the right and the two little boys room would be there. bigger room but for two boys it would be perfect! then you walk down a bit but on the wall I see all my family black and white pic. here... then you see another room thou it has no closet they use it as another bedroom I see this as my office. then the next room is the bathroom with the old claw foot bath tub.. I see me in the summer in a bubble bath with a good book and a glass of wine! ohhhhh heaven!!!! then you walk into our Master bedroom... there is built in closets and it's soooo big!! I wanted to cry.. my little box room I have now.. ohhh the possibilities.. I seen right away above my bed is our wedding pix.. I mean how perfect that would be. 
So... I have this new brand new modern townhome that I would be super close to everything or I have this great farm house who the people seem sooooo nice and the owner of the house is talking about us being more like family then like tenets.. and I just see us so happy here I see how Den would be so at peace and like it's just so meant to be... We are going to give it the world say a few prayers and hope for the best! But we are hoping with the good lord that this black cloud that has been on us is now lifting off of us! I'm hoping this is our light at the end of the tunnel... and from here there is nothing but happy, apple pies, lemonade, clothes drying in the sun and boys catching fireflies days ahead for us! 
Where the apple pies would be attempted... Where my bubble baths would take place!
