I really love how so many of your comments about our move have been along the lines of, “But your house!” Because that’s exactly how I feel.
I’m trying really hard to not think about it. I’m a problem solver, so I’m trying to just focus on the problems to be solved in front of me. But it’s really difficult. I love this place.
Honestly, I’ll be fine if we can find a good rental place. I’d almost managed to get this house just the way I wanted it and the thought had crossed my mind – What would I blog about then? A new place presents a whole lot of opportunities for new creativity.
But what we’re finding online is not pretty. The rental market seems to be pretty tight there, and without a 20% down payment, no one’s giving loans right now. So even though we have a renter for this place, we can’t buy another unless we managed to find about 50 grand in the couch cushions. That’s not likely to happen.
We’re leaving first thing tomorrow morning to drive up and see what we can find. I just keep praying that a place will be prepared for us.
