We are preparing to leave tomorrow at 5am, leaving our home in the south where highs are in the mid-50s all this week, for northwest Indiana, where snow is predicted, wind, and highs in the 30s. I would not make the trip except for Al’s parents being older, and of course being w/Raven, Caspian & Jasmine. If not for Al’s parents, I would talk them into traveling south.
Yesterday we signed papers to become owners of our house. We are officially listed as “owners” but do not yet have bank financing. We have a 3-yr window to get the financing. Meanwhile, we pay a mortgage payment rather than rent, to the “former owner”, pay taxes which drop from 2400. to 800., & take care of all repair and upkeep. It’s nice to be owners of our house. I will feel better when we get the financing, & I’m just going on faith with that. I feel we have to pay on our school loans for a year, keep our small credit card in good shape, & just pay our bills for a year, then seek financing.
