Hello all~
Ive been MIA for a little. Ive been here just busy and somewhat on a brain vacation. Anywho, a while back I shared how we were trying to move to Florida. We got our ducks lined up for the most part. Plans were laid, dreams were dreamt. I started the process of transferring my RN license down there ( & $300 dollars later). I began looking for jobs, houses, schools etc.
Its just not happening. We were very much trying to sell without a real estate agent. I know they have to make a living too, but we didnt want to share the meager profit from the sale of our home.
Had LOTS of interest in the house, I had people coming out of my ears who wanted to come see the house and talk to me about purchasing. I had put ads in the classifieds of the paper and @ my job, not to mention CraigsList *cough cough*. But every single person that got "serious" about the house wanted to rent. What part of FOR SALE was not understood?
Anywho, the beginning of May comes and I sit down hubby and give us 2 options. We can move to FL and rent the house (which I didnt wanna do), and if that happened we would have to move in with my In-laws. Or we could enlist with a Real Estate agent and still not have a guarantee that it would be sold. With it being May already, we needed a guarantee and soon. So, we decided to stay.
Its bittersweet for me. I wanted to move, to experience a change but i LOVE the city I live in now. My husband is actually happy we decide to stay, as is my son. The only upset one was my 5 yr old daughter but i think it was b/c she thought she'd be able to go swimming everyday for the rest of her life.
And so..here i am.
