Ever had a dream?

Ron and I have always had this dream of living on the bayouside.

He and I look at everything on the bayou and these properties

don't come up very often.

There have also been times that we contemplated buying

property and building but never did it.

Just a few weeks before Christmas we seriously thought

about starting all over in this huge home just to live

on the bayou. However we finally realized that at

our age, it wasn't something we wanted to do.

Then Tuesday at work one of our teachers asks me

if we were still looking for a home on the bayou

because her daughter and her husband were getting ready

to sell but had not yet placed their home on the market.

I called right away and Ron told me to go see it

but not to get my hopes up high until he checks out the structure

and if the home needed work.

I fell in love right away.

This cute, young couple have taken this older home and

basically flipped it.

What I love the most is that they redid the whole home

without taking away from the homes original life.

They should be commended on the great job they did.

So I don't know yet who will be the new family to love

this home. It may be us or it may not be.

I have come to a time in my life that I know this

will have to be Ron's decision.

He is the one who works hard to provide for me.

My future is too unknown for me to be the

one to decide whether or not we should start over

again. Even though we can fully afford the home,

it would mean a small house note again after

not having one. It would mean headaches for him

paperwork, moving, etc.

So I will just share with you guys these pictures of

someones new home.

I pray that we make the right decision but I know

that no matter what, I will be happy in this wonderful

home I already live in that Ron has provided or

I will be happy in this home that is jam-packed with

our dreams.

Kitchen redone about 2 months ago.

I love the way they flipped this kitchen without loosing

the age of the home.

Dining room/party room

View of the kitchen from the breakfast nook.

Night time view of the deck on the bayou.

The reason why we are considering this:

Look at this view of our own bayou Lafourche!!!

Front of the home overlooking highway 308.

Some family will love sitting on this porch and watching

the traffic. Or a tree swing in the front tree.

Can't wait for Ron to get home to see it in person

so we can make a decision.

Being undecided drives me crazy!

Happy cold Saturday, stay warm!
