John's dream place

John has spent the last 4 months combing through websites and realtor pages looking for his dream cabin.  He's actually put 2 offers on cabins, but they fell through for a variety of reasons.  Now he has found "the one."  He goes to closing next week and he is giddy.

It looks like a beautiful little cabin.  It has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom (indoor plumbing a must if I'm ever going to visit), a nice little deck and across the road National Forest for him to hunt to his hearts content!  He cashed in some Team Health stock for the down payment and now that we've refinanced the house, our mortgage payment was reduced enough to compensate for the cabin payment.  Now he can also indulge in his passion for Ebay and Craigs List as he shops around and "saves us so much money" furnishing his Man Cabin!  It's also near a little town (New Market, Va) that actually has a Wal-Mart and a couple of small restaurants - so it's not really roughing it!  I might actually go out and visit occasionally.  I'm just glad he's getting to make his dream come true, heaven knows he's worked hard enough for it!
