HOME OWNERSHIP!!!! I can’t wait to have a house that belongs to me again. Closing is set for this Friday and we’ll move in the last week of July.
We are moving back to Geogria; one town over from where we lived in 2004-2006!
Michael went down last week and found a house. It was a hell of a search but at the last minute found these moderately priced houses. We got a BRAND-SPANKIN-NEW house!
This next month is going to be crazy-busy with packing and such. We’re going to get the moving truck and load it, then he’s going to drive our truck down with Livey, Benny and our dogs, while I fly with Davey. Then he’s going to jump seat back up to Buffalo, get the moving truck and Mikey to drive down, the next day. Then we get to unload.
Told ya, crazy-busy!! At least I get to fly down with Davey and not try him out on a fifteen hour ride…just yet!! We’ll be visiting NY regularly but probably not until late fall or next spring. By then I’m hoping Davey’s a better traveller b/c right now he hates to ride in the truck.
We had two houses to choose from but ultimately went with the house that was a tad bit smaller because of the yard. Our house is on a cud-de-sac and has a really nice yard. I forsee us having a big birthday party for Benny, outside, this year! We’re also a short drive from the foothills of the Appalachian mountains.
My parents took the news as well as can be expected. They’re sad, of course, and we’ll be sad leaving them but this step is just another step that brings up higher and higher up the ladder. It’s all about choices. The choices you make really do determine the quality of your life. While things like being away from family and loved ones is hard, [you] do what’s best for [you].
I think we’ll be southerners for a good long while. It’s ok. I rather like the south and all it has to offer.
