chainsaw

Well, it finally happened.  At long last we own this house in Bend.  We rented this house with no intention of buying it, the thought hadn't even crossed our minds.  But it's funny how occasionally life happens in a very serendipitous way.  Two weeks after we moved into our new rental a foreclosure notice went up on the door and started a long string of events that slowly, slowly, slowly led to us claiming this as our home.  Though it was an agonizingly tedious process (we had the deluxe tour of the housing crisis in Bend thanks to the previous owners) it came with a happy ending.  For our entire married life it has been a seemingly unrealistic dream to live on the river here in Bend.  We are feeling very thankful.  

And now on to a long list of things that need work here at the river house.  First order of business, cutting down the grass jungle that was taking over the house.  Boys and daddy and a chainsaw, out clearing brush.  Good fun.
