So, we had decided we were moving back to the Eastside. We had also decided we were moving back into our old house, which is occupied by renters for the next year and a half. Weeellll, now we're not sure. About the house, anyway. We're definately moving back to the Eastside- we just don't know exactly where. Here's the thing: The renters that are in our house are wanting to buy it, really, really bad. We have the potential to put a lot of money in our pockets from that sale because of the equity we have in it. IF we don't sell it to them and we move back into it, we'll have to move into a rental for a while, until the rental agreement is up and then renovate it- and I mean serious renovations. We had already updated it when we lived there before, so all of that money would have been wasted. We're concerned that because it is a 1960's BradyBunchSpecial tri-level that the additions we want to do won't look right. We're concerned that the area that the house is in will go downhill over time. We're concerned that the land will eventually be too much to take care of (5 acres). But we do like it there and it is close to almost everything we do. Soooo, we've got a lot to think about. In the meantime, we've started telling people that this house we're in is going to be up for sale. Brian's gonna do a website for it and we're going to attempt to sell it by owner first so we don't lose our butts on it. Makes me sick to think of selling. This was our dream house. It's just too far away from all the stuff we do. Especially Emmaline's ballet. *sigh* I wish I could just pick it up and move it..... So if anyone who reads this knows someone moving to the Greenville, SC area and wants to drop about $850,000 (yep, and that's about $25,000 less than we have in it...) for a brand new, all the bells and whistles, drop dead gorgeous 5100 square foot house in an awesome neighborhood on a double lot (1.3 acres)- just let me know. ;0) I'm thinking the husbands will be sold on the 126 inch projection screen in the 30x24 family room and the wives will love that there are 3 huge walk in closets in the master bedroom. (Did I mention the pool house with the full bathroom and the salt water pool?Oh, and let's not forget the fact that our school district is awesome and our elementary school just won the coveted blue ribbon award...) I hate to leave it, I really do. But I believe with all of my heart that God wants us back out on the Eastside and that He will sell it for us. Gotta have faith, right?? I'm hoping that by Spring or early Summer that we will have a contract, and I guess we will have figured out where we're moving to by then. Sheesh.
In the meantime, I've enrolled into course #4 for this Master's degree program. I'm now a certified grief counselor- got the professional looking diploma thingy and everything. But I still have 6 more courses to go before I get my degree. Makes me wanna stab myself in the eye when I think of all the papers I'm going to have to write. This course I just started is 26 papers in 15 weeks. One is a 20-25 page research paper. YAY!! But I'll survive- the degree will be so worth it! Oh, well- I hear the bed calling. It's raining and cold and that equals perfect sleeping weather for me..... sweet dreams!
