J and I have been working on this for quite some time. Seems like it always takes just about forever to get from A to B these days. With J being home since May, yep, since May we've been working on doing what we can to fix up the house and get out of this state. I like the friends I've made and my neighbors but we need to live somewhere that the cost of living isn't so crazy. Our property tax on our house is almost the same as our mortgage payment. And we don't have a big house or live in the best area. Especially when it comes to school for Giuli.
Anyways, since J has been home and collecting unemployment (not much) I was able to get a loan from my 401K. A big loan. We put in a fence and updated our landscaping. Also, replaced the counter and sinks in the bathroom. Sinks were cracked and the counter was part of the sink. Replaced the front door and storm doo. Also needed to use a lot to pay bills and just live. So now we still have to fix the roof and the front steps to finish the outside. Then we need to replace the carpet and flooring in 2 bathrooms. Fix walls, change out light fixtures throughout the house and throw out lots and lots of stuff. Just writing all this out gives me such anxiety. Especially now that most of that money is gone and I need to start paying it back out of my check. Ouch. Talk about stress. Hoping it will all pay off and we can pay down some debt that we are accumulating once we sell the house and move. Can't wait till we are out of here.
