Good things come to those who wait!

Big announcement for the Klossners today...it's official, we signed our construction loan paperwork!  We have been waiting for 4 years for this day to come...and it has happened.  We have gone through four attempts to get this funding for our dream log home!  Four financial institutions, 4 different loan officers, 4 different sets of requests.  It was time consuming, saddening, and heartbreaking when we got turned down and yet a true learning experience as we found out more of what is required.  Can I say...the one most frustrating was waiting for 4 months only to hear one of the loan officers exclaim to us:  "This is a log home?  We don't fund log homes!"

BUT...all good things come to those who wait!

Thanks to some very special people, who believed in us, fought for us, and went to bat for us.  We are now the proud owners of a new construction loan and mortgage!  Those two people are Mike Butterfield, from Eagle Nationwide Mortgage, our broker and Luis Contreras, Vice President of Colorado East Bank and Trust!  These two gentlemen were willing to invest in our dream and believe in us to the max!  Thanks to both of them for placing us high on their trust list!

We also want to thank our builder, Steve Copp, Above Treeline Construction, who has stayed by our side for the past 4 years:  guiding us, sharing his knowledge, and working out "kinks" each time we were turned down.  Steve is the man we are turning our dreams over to.  He is the man to make them become a reality!  To him we turn over our trust and desires...because of his expertise we will have our dream log home!

To our dear friends who have stuck by us through the past 4 years:  Char and Don LaBounty, Sally and Steve Campbell, Chris and Lorrie Farver, and Michelle and Kurt Frilow...bless you all!  You've believed in our dream as much as we have!

My personal advice to all of you...never give up your dreams!  Stay true to your dreams and work towards them...they too will come true!
