So we did it. We signed our move-out notice. We gave them 120 days. We are officially moving out July 31.
Where to?
Well, we’ve looked at commercial apartments. We’ve looked at private apartments. We’ve looked at duplexes. We’ve even looked into buying a house.
But right now we’re pausing.
Because, really, it all comes down to whether or not Josh gets his scholarship again next year. And we’ll find that out “sometime early April.”
If he doesn’t get it, we’ll have no income this coming summer and will have to live off savings.
(Which pretty much nixes any house-buying ideas.)
I have found one income-based apartment option. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles, and based on our current income, it’s actually more expensive than where we are living now. But I’m keeping it an option in case half our income disappears.
There are a plethora of options. We’re just waiting on God to open and shut doors as He sees fit.
Just to update you.
So, what’s new in your life? Anyone else moving?
We’re moving. We decided to go ahead and move towards buying a house in the Broad Ripple area. When our plans fell through on the house we were looking at, we started looking at others. We found a house we really like and we’ve put in offers for it. We hear back today on whether we got it or not. Either way, we’re preparing our house for the market. Hopefully, we will get a buyer or renter asap because we can’t float 2 mortgages for long.
Good luck! It can be nerve-wracking to wait, but you’re doing exactly the right thing. It’s impossible to make the right decision without all the information.
How do you find the time to do all that you do? You always seem to stay so calm not matter what’s going on. I wish Josh much luck with the scholarship.
We’re not moving. 🙂 We thought about it, but we decided to wait for now. You should come visit us. 🙂
By the way, 120 day notice? Wow! That’s a lot. At my apartment complex it’s a 30 day notice.
Yeah, i am going to live with a friend for 4 weeks until I leave for Alaska, then in August I’m moving to New Orleans—-yeah!!!!
