My chest is tight and I'm not sure if it's fear, excitement, anticipation, sadness... everything is such a muddled mess right now. But for better or for worse HERE WE GO! I've picked up the house and am anxiously awaiting our "potential renter" to come over and take a look at the house. He's looking for 6 months to a year at least. We're figuring we'll negotiate and hopefully make it work. He is a coworker and has a young family. It would be perfect for us, we'd much rather rent to someone we know, plus we're hoping to negotiate that we have access to our garage for storage purposes. We're willing to rent fully furnished, so I'm hoping they'll want to keep most of it (less work for us)! We still have lots to do on the boat but with the relief of the monthly mortgage it'll definitely make it easier to get things done faster. We also have a friend who has offered his fully furnished basement apartment to us anytime we need a place to crash (during boat project, bad storms or cabin fever). It is a very generous offer, and I have to admit it's nice to know if all hell broke loose we'd have a place to go at the drop of a hat.
I feel so blessed, we are surrounded by so many wonderful friends here. Feels like everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to help us along our journey. Feels like even though we keep trying to put this on the back burner, doors keep opening for us. We'll see how the meeting works out today.....
Little one is awake, will update tonight!
Exciting steps! Keep us posted. Very generous offer of the basement apartment too. Nice.
ReplyDeleteUgh, he canceled last minute last night. But is supposed to reschedule..... the anticipation continues!!!
ReplyDeleteAs far as moving on the boat, I think we'd get the 'must have's' - fridge and stove and then work on the rest as we go.
Hope your enjoying your time with Cora, she is just precious!
