Meg, those guys try anything to get more money out of you. You were more than generous with the 8 weeks. Now for a name. Not sure if I can come up with just the right one, but will think about it.
I cannot wait for you to enter that wonderful new home. I will feel your excitement for sure.
Just remember not to over do all your moving either.
Take your time my Dear.
Love Kerry

Meganne, so happy for you! I can't wait to see picture of your new home! I'll try to think of some names: such as "Carpe diem" seize the day or sieze the moment! Blessed Cottage, Golden Years Cottage!

I am so happy for you! A verbal agreement should be binding, shouldn't it, especially as the surveys were done! Patience seems to be a virtue, or so I'm told, but I can guess how hard it must be for you.
I'll have to think of a name.

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! You hang in there that home was meant to be yours! A real big birthday present!

Congratulations! You seem really thrilled about all this, we'd love to move but can't afford to after 31 years here. We have had a few scares here, neighbor's house broken into right after I spotted a guy just standing at my enclosed porch looking in till I flew out there and confronted him. Think he was gonna walk in thinking nobody was home! I was watching through a window with sheers on it.
Anyway, for a name, how about "Almost Heaven".

Congratulations! We do not name our homes here in the USA. Well maybe the rich and famous hahaha. Is that a common practice where you live? I know some people that are fortunate enough to have a vacation cottage will sometimes name those. Do you make a shingle for it? Does it become part of the house address?
Names I think are appropriate are:
Faith
Eternal Life
Blessings Abound
Grace
Hallelujah!
Blessed with Miracles

My daughter and I do a lot of brain storming for different things, We take one word and then play upon it. So I went back and looked at your pictures and the beautiful splendor of the back facing the river/lake and this is what I came up with. Maybe you will like them, Beautiful Splendor, Great Splendor, God's Splendor, Home of Splendor, Bountiful Splendor, Beginnings of Splendor, Golden Splendor, House of Splendor, Splendor Cottage, Eternal Splendor, Splendor Abound, Birthday Splendor, (HEHEHE)Hopefully this will help give you some ideas.

Well cong,i am really happy for you & yours .Now as far as a new name i think that God is truley blessing you now & in your old age as the bible says he will do if we put him first in our life.So continue to put him first & you will continue to be blessed & if not you will have trouble after trouble with this new blessing.So my friend be blessed going in & blessed going out !!Carolyn

Glad all is going well and you are so fortunate to have a husband for knowledgeable support.I had to build the home I am presently living in all by my self. I look back on the whole experience now and I know that God was right there with me every step of the way, from selecting the land to build on ,all the way to closing and moving in. Just take your time and every thing will fall in place and pray along each step of the way. Kay

Glad that you have your home, I know how you felt, I went through the same scenario many years ago, unfurtunally my was not a happy ending, we had a verbal agreement my husband wanted to give some money to hold the house, and I remember she(owner) told us her words were more that enough, I went to her house, asked her set a date, when she told me she already sold the house to an investor!!!!, not even a family, I went home crying like a baby Not even she did not keep her word but sold the house to company not a family.

I'm so happy for the two of you, busy times are coming now. I called my house The Poppey because I love poppeys I cannot help. Good luck

Heavenly Rewards #2 Not so romantic but it sure fits! Redeeming Rewards. Meganne's Safe Haven Close to heaven Redeeming Grace Amazing Grace
You have been blessed by the Lord and although you gave your all to getting well and encouraged all of us during that time also, You had help from above. Through his Love and Grace you can now enjoy this beautiful life and your dream home. That is my reason for these names. You have earned every second of happiness that blesses your life. The home is beautiful as well as the location. If it makes you happy, I am happy for you! Like was said in another post, we do not usually name our houses here in the U.S. but there are exceptions to every standard even here. Usually it is the rich that do name their estates or their vacation homes but what you feel in your heart will be your final choice. It is a beautiful dream of yours come true! Our ideas could never touch what you feel in your heart. Be happy and enjoy it every minute that you can. You have worked hard to get to this point in your life and maybe by the time you get moved in, you will have a feel for the place and the Name will come naturally to you. God does not just give us these kind of things. We have to earn them through the Lord. You have been so UP through all of your illness and treatments and you have kept the Faith. You earned everything that you have been awarded, the most important being in good health. My blassings to you and your whole family! Linda

TTT. Come on Cuties, Please.
Where are all the lovely French, Spanish, Afrikaans, Aborigine, Native American, Japanese, German, Dutch, etc. etc. suggestions for a special name for our new home???

I've decided I'd like to plant a willow tree on the edge of the river bank. Won't that look lovely?

Hugs n roses, Meg

Congrats on the new home. It is beautiful. As for a name, how about playing with "The Ray of ..." Sunshine. Maybe Sunsine ... something. We have a large yard, that many have nicknamed "The Park," but I've never named my home. I need to do that. Did you get your mums place done?

Meganne
"weowner" was something a friend named her home. Took a while to get it. We own her. or we the owners.
Either way so long as it feels like home cause that is where the heart is. Helen

Hello meganne, I am so happy for you two, I wish for you many years of hapiness here, I have seen the pictures, this house seems marvelous. There are many years ago, -46 exactely-my husband and me we had visited many houses, but when my husband shad seen our actual home, he has said: it is this one. We have been happy here, and now that I am alone, I do not imagine that I could live in another place. The name of this House was "les 4 vents" (the 4 winds), and we have leave this name to the house because this name was its since 1828, the year of his construction. But now, I know that its real name should have been "the paradise on earth" or "the house of hapiness", and that, we could not have found when we have boughtFor your house , I like the suggestion of twee: "sunshine", I think it agree very well with the pictures of your(soon)house

Wow Meg congratulations to you and Ray on signing the contracts. It's all going well now.

My suggestions are Aboriginal -

Warrina - a place of rest
Walwa - a place of waters
Paringa - home at the river
Orana - welcome (Orana Paringa would be a nice combination wouldn't it "Welcome home at the river")
Mawarra and also Illoura - pleasant place
Karinya - peaceful home
Amarco - beautiful place

In Tasmania there is a town call Dootown and all the houses have do in their title e.g Thistledoo, It'll do, Dunny Do, You'll do, Gunadoo, This Will Doo, Doo Come In, Just Doo It, Love Me Doo, Much-A-Doo, and Doo-All. The first house name in the series was apparently Doo Little.

You could also make up a name from the people in your family. My mother and father's place would be called "Patron" as Mum's name is Pat and Dad's is Ron etc.

Anyway good luck on naming your new home - I'm sure you'll come up with something wonderful.

Love and blessings Chris

What about "notre maison de rêve" french for Our Dream Home I am so glad your dream is coming true
Hugs Raelene

Meg I have a french lady friend, so I will ask her on the weekend ok.. she and her aussie husband just spent 6 weeks back in France seeing her Mum.

How bout ....The House of Durr??? Remember that?? at least the postman will laugh EVERY TIME he brings the mail!! LOL

Glad you are getting your new house, I know the feeling well. Just call it Little Paradise.
congrats you will have to hsow us pic's when you get moved in.

How about "Willow Waters" or "Willow Wind", or "Willow Wings"?
Trying to go with a willow and pond theme here;

I think once you paid and he accepted the deposit on the house, he lost his position to accept other offers, and you could have sued him silly to proceed with the sale at the agreed to price. That was pretty obnoxious of that guy to press you for more. People are so greedy.

Glad you stood up to him, but sorry he put you through all the emotional stress....he should be ashamed and at least offered an apology for being greedy.
As for a name for your home the only thing I think would be "Serenity", a single word that says it all.
BTW...you need to have a packing party....invite all your friends and neighbors for a little work, fun and food. We did it as a joke years ago but it worked out great everything was done in just a few hours instead of the days it would have taken by ourselves. You'll be surprised how many friends and family members will be there. Have a blessed day.
Hugs n more
Karen
