One of My Everyday Pursuits!

Do you do it? I do. Everyday! I enter everyday to win the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway! When they first begin the newest sweepstakes I take a tour of their latest home! They are so incredible and so beautiful! I love looking at everything they've done, the materials used, the decorating and I even check out the towns they are in! My favorite was the home from last fall in Sonoma, CA. It was in wine country with a big wrap-around front porch! I just love porches! Anyway, this time it's a beautiful Southwestern-style home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I just looked all through it! Gorgeous! Sometimes the homes aren't my style but I can appreciate everything they've done. I enter everyday, no matter what! Along with the house you win $500,000. and a new car. The towns they choose are always interesting places to live also. Santa Fe is in the high desert and we already live in the high desert (easy transition!) but their weather is colder in the winter. The home is complete with 3 bedrooms, an office, a casita, 2 laundry rooms, at least 3 patios (that I could see) and even a recycling room. Just google HGTV Dream Home Giveaway to go see it!

What woud we do if we ever won? I already have it all planned out! Since we would have no housepayment or car payment Hubby could retire from the USMC and then leave law enforcement. He could work a part-time job doing whatever he wanted! I could still stay home, of course. We would have no debt! What freedom! I love the idea of Hubby having time to do whatever he wants! Don't get me wrong, he loves his career and we are very blessed but he works way too hard and has since he joined the corps. I would just love see him bored! I know he would want to work but hopefully wouldn't need to work full-time since we wouldn't have a housepayment. Imagine, just paying for utilities, the girl's schooling, food, etc...heaven on earth! Yep, I've got it all figured out! Now, just one little thing... we want to win! I say that and then know there are so many more deserving people out there, people who have never owned a home before, never even dreamed it! I always love to watch who wins and hear their stories. It makes me just as happy when they are so grateful and deserving, like God himself pick this for them! And, if you know me, you know that I am always grateful for everything we have!

So, go to HGTV Dream Home Giveaway and check out my new house, er, their new house!
