Getting our ducks in order
by Amanda on Jan.20, 2010, under Uncategorized
We’re going back to mom’s for sure now. A space is cleared out for us to sleep and we’ve got the forces mobilized (LOL) to get us moved on the 30th. Hopefully it will only take 1 trip since we have 3 trucks. It will be nice. We rented a 10×15 storage unit which cost $60 plus a deposit of $60 about 5 miles from their house for our furniture and appliances.
We’ve also decided he is going to keep the car and I’ll get the SUV so we did a tune up of spark plugs, wires, and an air filter. We also have a $170 set of parts to buy on Friday but it’s OK. We’re going to take advantage of living there to get repairs made while we can afford it, get our credit card balances lowered (they’re only 400 each), and then finish getting our ducks in order so when we do move back out things are taken care of. We’ve looked into getting a mortgage but I’ve given up hope due to the fact that Randy has only had his job for 7 mos and they want 2 solid years of work history. *sigh* Ah well, we’ll work something out.
I’m exhausted though so I’m going to keep talking to Randy’s mom on the phone and then head to bed. *yawn*

Good luck Manda & Randy! Moving is always stressful and a pain in the ass, so I hope it goes smoothly for you.

Good luck with the move. I’m living in my girlfriend’s father’s apartment and not having your own place sucks. There’s just no affordable housing out there anymore unless your so poor the government pays for it. It sucks.

I bet that is a relief. Although its probably not the outcome you wanted, I’m glad you have a place to go!!
Good luck with moving. I want to do it soon but its just such a stress, and hassle… I’m putting it off as much as I can but we need a bigger place sooner rather than later!
GOOD LUCK! hugs!

Maybe you could find a different mortgage without the 2 solid yrs being a requirement? Maybe find something online?
