We are Looking...Guess in what city???

Mike woke up this morning and decided to go for a "ride"...

I spent the majority of yesterday with my 'garage sale' makine $250... Not bad for selling 1 of our 3 fridges and the edger...hurrah.

Ok, back to the city.... haha. The furthest either of us wanted to go was Spanish Fork...so we started there... We took the detour and ended up at the sugar factory...and under the freeway a few times and finally took Center Street (one of the main drags)...at this point in time Mike had his sense of direction totally out of whack... and we headed east (thanks to rosie the robot, the van)...

We stopped a few times in different communities to take their ads on the homes for sale...looking at prices and sizes...

We then went into a condo/townhome community to find a few places for rent...

We called a few numbers and got some numbers to work with...

We then headed to Springville and got off the freeway...WOW... the difference in 10 miles in price was ... ouch... a bit over our limit for a monthly without me going to work...

We figured we had a few ideas and headed home to look at the internet options. I am still looking and I am not thrilled to be so far away from my grandbabies... but the prices are right.

We now have a few ideas...ugh...the thought of moving is not in my happy thoughts, but with our options at Wild Oak getting slimmer and slimmer... we now have a new option or two to look at.

If we move to a less espensive place, we can have it a bit larger and have to down size less at the start... we can rent a place that gets Mike to work in less than 15 minutes... Right now he is commuting 60 minutes 2 times a day and when he gets home he is shot... So, if he and I want a life at all... we need to get closer to his work...and save money in the process...

Hm....

It's scarey and I've felt so sad... selling off our 'treasures' just seem to be alot of baggage to deal with at the same time as selling off our house...

It's all about choices and options...

Hm....one of the options for sale can be seen at http://www.ourtownhome.blogspot.com/... not exactly like the ones for rent, but close... 2 car garage and a fenced yard... Rusty would be thrilled... hahaha
