and still stressed. Since listing our house in June, we have had 2 viewings. How sad is that?! And our neighbor put their house up a month after ours and they already have a contract pending. True they are having some issue with it but at least they got a contract. The 2 viewings we had went nowhere. Our realtor here has talked to another lady about buying our house since she has rental properties but she is not buying anymore right now. We are also thinking of renting it out so she has told the other agents that too. Just when we think we might have a glimpse of hope, something blocks the light. When Jamie first asked me about moving, I said no because I didn't want to leave my family but a couple of days later, I got this peaceful feeling that moving was what we were to do so I agreed. I was thinking it was God saying "This is my plan, listen!" but now I am second guessing it. I had faith God would take care of selling the house and we wouldn't be apart for too long. But my faith is fading. I am stressed and tired. Being a single Mom to a 2 year old while working is hard work. I am hoping now that I am only working 3 days a week, some of my stress will go away. I plan to use my two days off to clean and pack while Ashlee is at daycare. That way on the weekends when Jamie is home, we can do things as a family instead of watching me clean.
And we did find a house...months ago...and it keeps coming back to us. Just the other day, I told Jamie that I was so ready to move so lets just buy Nautical. Then a few hours later we get an email from our realtor up there about Nautical; they dropped the price again. I thought this was a sign and felt good about. But then I remembered we have to sell our house and my smile went away. We can't get another VA loan until we sell our house so now we are back to square one. My glimpse of hope is gone...yet again. I have tried to figure out ways to pay for 2 house payments, which we can do but buying the 2nd house is the issue. We can't afford the down payment and closing costs required with a conventional loan. With a VA yes, conventional no. So back to square one. Someone mentioned a bridge loan but those are hard to get and the rates are higher so Jamie doesn't want to do that, which I agree to extent. Just wish someone would come buy our house and the stress would be gone and the light will shine again.
And I miss Thelma...more than most realize.
