News on the house

We got some encouraging news about our house in AL. Our only looker (3 weeks ago) decided that he was still interested in the house but could not afford to buy at this moment as he was transferring from Pittsburgh. So he decided on a 6 month lease to own to get his finances together and he should be moving in next week! So that at least covers our mortgage. Now if only I could get a job....40 applications in now and only one interview. I was feeling good about it until she told me she had 450 applicants. Yess 4-5-0! I was shocked. So we'll just see.

Settling In

We're here and settled in to living at my dads house. Garth is thrown full swing into work and I'm awaiting calls on jobs and crossing my fingers for something to come my way.

Our house in AL is in limbo. No looks= no buying. Hopefully as the summer rolls in more people will be looking for houses and summer homes. That would be our best chance. Then we can begin the process of looking for a new home. Went out today to look at a neighborhood that is currently being built where we could essentially design our own home. It sounds nice and a great oppurtunity so we'll see how it plays out.

I'm still getting used to it being light until after 8 pm! I cant quite get myself to go to bed early when it's like that. The next couple days hold going to the beach, getting some sun, visiting with friends/family I haven't seen in several months and relaxing in this off job time.

Moving Day

Well it's almost moving day and it is a bittersweet moment. On one hand we are getting a fresh start and some good careers but on the other we are leaving behind some great things, great memories and great people.
It's been a highly stressful and tiring day of loading our entire lives into a uhaul van. Granted it is 26 feet long...
We'll be pulling out tomorrow evening and heading to Orlando. We'll get a few hours of sleep in the morning and then unload into our storage unit. And hopefully it takes less time than it did to load! It will be a crazy next couple of days but as they say that's just life!
