Moving On

A few weeks ago our landlord called to tell us he was trying to sell our house & he would be bringing someone to look at it later in the week. I was devastated! There was a lot going on & this is not what I needed to add to my plate. Immediately we started looking for some place to move. I didn't want people coming into my home looking to buy it. We looked at several places but couldn't find anything to fit our needs.

We have knew for sometime our house wouldn't be our forever home, but was I really ready to leave. We have made so many memories in our first house together. We even got married in the back yard. We have amazing neighbors, the kids have a huge yard to play in, we are out in the country...so many things we love.

Then one day my hubby called my mom to talk to her about us possibly moving in with her for a while. Mom will retire in a few years & she has always said she wanted to move in with us after she retired. I have always wanted to go back "home" to where I grew up but never had to opportunity arise. So after many talks we decided we would move in with mom for a while to try to save some money we have been "throwing" away thousands of dollars the last year & a half paying rent on something that isn't/wasn't ours. I want to have my own house someday soon. This seemed like a win, win situation. So we decided we would give it a try for a while & see how things go.

We started talking more & more about it & started packing something's we weren't using & took them to storage. All the while waiting to hear if they had sold our house & a date we would have to be out by.

We decided we could start saving money now by going ahead & moving so we kicked into high gear & decided we would be out by the end of the month. We have now taken two loads to storage, have the attic completely cleaned out & another load ready to go to storage. We will be spending this weekend getting moms house ready for us to move in & plan on having everything out by next weekend. This is not how I imagined moving but we feel its best for us right now. I have put my notice in at work so I will be packing, moving & working all while trying to stay sane. It is going to be a crazy, hectic, wild week but I have faith we can do this with minimal chaos. We shall see!
