For Sale: Four acres of land, west side of Argusville, ND. Exit 78 off I-29 701-***-****
He cannot believe it, he finally found a place to call home. He has been working towards building his own house, scraping together every penny that he can. It hasn't been easy to resist temptation, the draw of buying a new vehicle or renting a nice cushy hotel room, instead driving the same beat up old pickup and dragging around the worn out camper where he sleeps. Getting work wherever is possible, mostly farm hand labor, helping others achieve their dreams with his hard work, hoping to have a fraction of what they own some day. He is optimistic this day as he drags his equally hard working truck down a bumpy, well worn gravel road. As he nears the plot for sale, he feels at peace, finally feeling like he is at home.
Rounding the last turn, he sees everything that he has dreamed of. A wide, green field surrounded by a long shelter belt of tall, healthy trees. He can picture where he will place the single story, sprawled out house he will build with his own two hands. The barn where he will house his animals and equipment. He even sees the beautiful wife he will have someday, waving to him as he pulls into their driveway, cradling their newborn baby boy named for his father.
With a silent tear sliding down his right cheek, he takes a deep breath and exits the old truck. He is home.
