I think it’s kinda funny after posting the poem below I ended up going on a cleaning/decluttering spurt.  Of course the reason that happened was because Paul and I found another house that we both liked and could actually see ourselves moving into.   We were actually thinking of taking a tour of it and since we were getting that serious about it, I thought I better start trying to get our house in the selling order.  Since Paul was around to play/entertain the kids when need be (so they wouldn’t fight) I was able to go from one room to another.  All I can say is it’s amazing how  much you end up throwing away when  you think there is a chance you might be moving.

Then yesterday it all came to an end for my dream of moving.  Paul ended up taking that step back (at least one of us did) and like he said, we really aren’t in the position financially to buy a new house.  Yes, we are currently debt free but our nest egg isn’t back up to snuff and our truck is starting to get on it’s last leg.   So needless to say right now is the time we need to start saving, not going back into debt!   We did agree that maybe next year we can start looking again and who knows, maybe we will find something a little better with a little more acreage.    Nothing would be better than to find our dream house with enough acres where Paul could hunt.   Until then… I’ll just keep saving, dreaming and keeping the house ready to sell!
