There it is....a dream in the making! Zac and I headed up to McCall last weekend to help Jonathan with the fence at his cabin, but before anything could be done I had to see Cam and Mom's new place. It is absolutely amazing! Who would have ever thought! This house was one of the first houses Cam and Mom looked at....it also happens to be Mom's favorite out of the five or six houses they were serious enough about to make an offer on, and it also was the house used to compare every other house too....only one other house (the Brook Dr house) compares with it.
Amazingly, Jonathan found out that this house came on the market again while Cam and Mom were in Wyoming for a dog training seminar. It was all or nothing. They had to get an offer in before they would return home so with their banker on vacation, they went with Jonathan's banker and for a nominal fee they used the campground's fax machine to fax the needed documents for the offer. Luckily everything worked out and before they even got home they heard the news. It must be meant to be!!!!!
Well, actually, it went something like this....Jonathan and I were standing around in the St. Luke's parking lot, just talking after I dropped the dogs off to Zac before he headed out of town for a night of camping....we were just talking about anything and everything...and if I remember correctly the house did come up in conversation. Jonathan was being pretty pessimistic about it...the Brook Dr house pretty much ruined every one's optimism.
Anyway....Jonathan got a text and while he was reading it he got a huge grin of disbelief! "You did it! Your offer was the accepted offer on the house!" Jonathan got carbon copied on the text my parents received from their realtor up in McCall. We both jumped around with excitement and eventually Jonathan called the realtor to get the details. Unfortunately, at this point in their trip, Mom and Cam didn't get service so they didn't even get the news until later on!
Now, pending inspection, assessment value and sewer hookups....Cam and Mom will hopefully close on the house July 16th. We'll be there with a bottle of red wine for the celebration!
Below are pictures of inside...since Cam and Mom are in a contract with the bank, we were able to let ourselves in through the front door with a key.....those of you who know the story about the house on the 5 acres should get a chuckle out of this!

By the time we were leaving it was getting dark and the sunset was absolutely beautiful. I didn't get as many pictures of the house as I had hoped. Apparently, I was too excited!
Now I spend a lot of time looking on craig's list for bedroom furniture. Cam said we are responsible for furnishing our own rooms...so I'm on top of it!
Congratulations Cam and Mom....we can't wait to spend time with you guys up there!
