I'm moving!

Wow, lot's to type, but a little time to type it!

I have been hesitant to post about the sale of my house, but I have no reason to believe it won't go through now! YAY!!! I currently own a home that is just too much for me to handle. I am never around to give it the care it needs - especially the property. I have four acres, but only about an acre needs mowing. Well, that's an acre to much for me. Also, the house needs lots of TLC to get into selling condition.

In April, I came to the full realization that I just needed to give it up, and sell it, as is. I felt so much peace when I realized the best thing for me to do was to buy a Townhouse near work. As soon as I was comfortable with that and after looking at a few, I made some phone calls to people who had, in the past, shown interest in buying my house should i ever decide to sell it. My second phone call sounded pretty secure and this week we are going to contract for him to buy it. I am really excited!!

I will then sign a contract to buy a brand spankin new townhouse. I am so excited I can't hardly stand it. I've never lived in a Townhouse before, and never even really lived in an apartment, so I was a little leary. This neighborhood is really nice, and at least no one in on top of me or below me. The best thing???? I will go from a 33 mile commute, to 3. I will save $220 a month just on gas. I hope to also save about $200 a month on a smaller mortgage. Yay!
