A New Adventure
This year, my number one goal was to start getting out of debt. With the little income we make, it isn't hard to get in over your head. I myself have always been on the frugal side, hating to spend money and loving to save it. I can say our marriage has consisted of plenty of money talk and disagreement. It has taken over 3 years but I believe my husband is starting to agree with me...probably not ;)
We are downsizing our rent payment! So, we are moving again. This time it isn't to a massive home with 6 bedrooms, it is to a single wide trailer home. I am not excited about the limited space and future heating problems. But at this point, it can't be more expensive to heat then the home we are currently in. Although there isn't much room to grow where we are going and I will have to work on dejunking (something I stink at) it will be great in the end. By doing this it isn't my proudest moment, in fact I would love to stay in this big home that I can't afford. But I understand that I don't want to be weighed down by debt my whole life, so we will sacrifice, and pray to not be overrun by mice.
On a better note, I am excited! We will be living close to Shyla (Kade's sister) and I will get to smell cow manure on a regular basis and hear bawling calves....makes me think of childhood :) I am also excited to be able to fix up the trailer and make it beautiful. Also, it is a pretty decent home, apart from wood paneling and yellow sinks, it is close to 1300 square feet, so it is a nice size for only a single wide.
Pictures??? Yeah, I will get more of those up, when I find the missing memory card.
Anyone have a solution for painting wood paneling? I don't love it and don't wanna put sheet-rock up...Oh the 70's had style, ick.
We have to be out by the end of this month, I am sure hoping for time to fix things up. If anyone is bored they are welcome to come help with some DIY projects, or babysitting!
