When I was on my walk/jog the other day, my mind was just wandering back to the walk/jog in 2015 when God walked me through my entire house that I am now living in!  I got home and told Bob about it and he kind of scoffed at me (he was a deeply feeling man I would say spiritual, but not religious). I remember telling him to get me graph paper and a ruler and pencil and I would draw it while I was on the beach in Mexico.  So I did. When I got home I showed it to him and surprisingly he liked it.  In the spring we came up to our back forty and looked where to put it.  And the natural site with the Harney peak view meant the home had to be flipped.  I just couldn’t figure why God would walk me through in such great detail backwards, but I switched the plan around.  It just lay there for years.   Meanwhile we built our metal building back there putting in  a bathroom so doing the well and an oversized septic for our dream home.  We moved into Custer and it continued to sit there.  Every winter I had a contractor remove and pile and burn some of the down dead bug trees on that 40 acres and it was looking better every year. In early spring 2022 I walked up on the hill next to our building to see how the tree removal looked and I got up there and like lightning I was struck with the beauty of the site and the amazing view. I instantly realized that that was the home site!  I yelled down to Bob and told him and said he had to come see.  He begrudgingly trudged up the hill and I showed him.  And he smiled and hugged me and said I was right!  And now the house plan was the right direction! Just amazing.  We actually started making small steps towards that dream and then he passed away that fateful day in July.  I think that is why I love my home so much is because Bob was a part of it and it is the fulfillment of a dream we had together.
