Uh oh......here comes the stress

I wish I wasn't having to post this. As you all know, we still own our place in Hilton Head. Due to the crummy market, it hasn't sold. We found out yesterday that our renter is moving out on November 1st. I am doing my best not to stress, but the what if's are taking over. What if we don't rent it? What if the place is destroyed and we have to put $ into fixing it? How are we going to be able to take time off in October to fly to South Carolina and check on the place? I am trying to stay positive, but quite frankly, after three years of being positive it is starting to wear me out. I am so ready to be done with that place. Andrew and I bought it thinking that we were going to be there for several years, not just two. We have spent more time trying to get rid of it than the time we lived there. We have been very responsible and paid all of our mortgages on time. It has been hard at times, but we did it. For the two years we lived in Park City, we both worked 6 to 7 days a week. It sucks paying for something that you don't live in. We have re-listed the unit, for sale and for rent. Please keep us in your prayers. We were looking forward to moving to Tahoe and not having to get second jobs. If it rents, this is possible. If not, looks like we go back to busting our butts again. Once again, sorry for the not so fun post, but I had to get it off of my chest.

New House

Well we are finally getting settled. We officially moved into the new place and received all of our belongings on September 15th. We spent last week unpacking and find a new place for all of our stuff. It is amazing what you forget you have, or have and don't need! As soon as everything is done, I will post some pics of the house furnished. For now these will have to do. Lille is loving her new back yard, she spends all day sunning and chasing birds. Andrew never leaves the garage. Currently he is working on building me a desk for my office. I have been helping out too. So far it looks great. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Home Sweet Home

After four days of house hunting Andrew and I found a place. We heard from the landlords today, our application came back and we got rave reviews from our previous land lord. We are going tonight to put down the deposit, sign the papers and take some pictures. For those of you who know Tahoe, know that most houses are 70's "rustic." This is a nice way of saying, most places are overpriced POS. But not ours, it is older and quirky. It was built 30 years ago by a man and his wife. They have become sick and had to move to Carson City. The neighbor bought it and is now renting it. We will be the second people to ever live in the house. The landlords have repainted the whole interior and we are getting brand new carpet! There is a huge 2 car garage, or as Andrew calls it, a Man Cave. The home also has a huge back yard for Lille, and a wrap around porch for me! These are just a few of the highlights. I will post some pictures soon.
