The cottage was originally just a primitive shepherds rain shelter the size of your reading room, with just a bed, a fireplace, a couple of chairs, water from a tank and no electricity. I dont comment very much, but somehow I feel like I know you from the blog, and felt a bit of a need to defend you haha. The fact they sat down and wrote the letter themselves was all the difference. I needed to talk to someone so I talked to myself. Then we went back and looked at a goofy house we had written off without even seeing it in person because it was too weird and there were literally 40 pictures of sagebrush in the yard in the profile. Theres so many sad things happening right now. That is totally understandable. Thats what I love about what you do- building from scratch just the way you like it is just not as relatable for most of us. Ugh that is so heartbreaking! They declined our offer.

But, all this talk has made me curious. I comment on things and send messages all the time (never been responded to) Anyway, I will say the reason why the video of you crying bothered me is because my feed just today has been filled with: a dear friend crying over her recently deceased husband, a friend posting about her niece that passed away at 4 weeks old, a friend going through a divorce, and someone whos son was just shot and killed in the line of duty. Julia, I think you are doing the right thing by not making another offer. Im sure you already know this, but I want to put it out there that I hope you continue to show us the raw emotions behind the scenes because its exaclty why I love this blog so much.
