It has been a busy, busy year. I absolutely adore the exterior and outside spaces. I had to look at the interiors several times before I became accustomed to the very subtle colors. I tend to love color. After several viewing of the tours and pictures of this home I fell into its jive. There is a beauty to subtly. That is one of the reasons that I moved 12 years ago to the desert. I find such beauty in the subtly of the desert. I had to make a mind shift to apply that to this home. The floor plan is awesome! The family space, great room and kitchen are so inviting. I would love to gather my children and their families in this space. Again, kudos to HGTV.

I grew up in Ballard/Bothell. I've lived there since 2003 until I relocated to Southern Utah.

Just think of the morning, sitting, drinking coffee and enjoying the view. Idle talk that comforts us both. Ahhh. Total peace.

We are on the eve on 2013 and tomorrow brings new opportunities. I live in an area that has warm summers but also sees the possibility of snow in the winter. Funny to see snow on palm trees and Joshua trees. I could see myself nestled between the trees, enjoying the warmth of summer and the chill of winter. I'm originally from Seattle where the weather is "mundane". No extreme warm, nor extreme cold. I'm at the age where weather's "mood" can be fun.

If either of us win this; we'll have to arrange a rendezvous. Who sleeps in the Master Suite vs Guest Room is the question!

I promise to make the guest room your "honorary space". Whenever you want the room it's yours!

Thanks for asking. I've named 2014 as MY year. The snow at the DH? Wow! Could you imagine living warmly in that house while looking out ALL those windows at the snow on the ground and trees; feeling SO cozy! Leaving the fire at bedtime and tucking everyone in to their warm and cozy spaces before climbing into that beautiful bed in your master bedroom. Next morning getting up, starting the fire making coffee and starting breakfast. Bringing everyone down for eggs, bacon and hashbrowns; talking about dreams from the night and what plans we have for the day. Desert life might have a true competitor.

Why less?

All of us mothers that have lived in a world where horses became "horsies" say "Your Welcome". It was an honor to forgo the kudos of the big world to get our rewards from the little "thank yous" of our young. May we all have given our next generation enough love and support to conquer to world!

Spend some time growing up before you try living in the "grown-up world". You're showing your ignorance.

My husband may be able to replace his truck with some of the $500,000. The rest wil go to our retirement which is not that far away. I would be more than happy with that arrangement!

This is the place to find fun, happiness and great humor. You'll never be the same; which is quite all right!

Could he pay the difference and get a truck? Thought you might know.

Give us the opportunity to win big; or just experience suspense, joy, opportunity.
