Single home family

It's official we are a single home family again. For the last six months we have been paying two mortgages and ,through the grace of God, making ends meet and then some. We've learned many things over this time and are glad that we can apply them now without having to. A little background on the situation.

A little over a year and a half ago we started the relocation process from the small mining town we lived in to be closer to family. We had planned on it for months, but were finally able to take steps. This included putting the 1955 cinder block "veterans" home we had purchased and remodeled up for sale. After months of nothing we decided to rent it out so we weren't just taking a hit and could move into a new house. We had renters in it for a little under a year before they purchased their own home and then t was empty. In the meantime we had purchased our currant home so we had to find the funds to pay the two mortgages. We got really creative on many different things. This is what instigated me riding the bus, something I was glad to do and who he'd saved us $200 a month in gas.

But the house had sold. Papers have been signed and we are just waiting for the money due to us comes in. It is a great financial and emotional relief to have that and over with. We're looking to rebuilding our savings and me being able to finish my Masters. I am very thankful that the house has sold and am so grateful to God for the lessons learned and miracles performed in our behalf.
