My daughter called me last Saturday. She asked me if I would be mad if she and Jordan did not move up here but bought a house more near her brother. I just laughed and told her 'no', it is their lives and they need to be where they need to be that is best for them. She said that she knew I was looking forward to her moving up here. I had to stop myself because I have been TRYING to talk them out of it for 2 years! I just told her that actually I am happier that they don't move up here because if she had then I would have had to stay here until I die. I am not fond of the area and if they stay down there, then once my parents die I will move back down there. I would be looking to move down there now but I like being with friends right now. But things will change over the years and it will be good to be near my kids again.
I am still hoping to sell my house and maybe find a nice place in the same town as my parents and brother and sister. The realtor is coming next Friday. She is going to look it over and we are going to talk about my timeline, moving forward, etc. I received a sale estimate of $40,000 more than I bought it for. Minus seller costs and realtor cut, I should have $47000 left to drop on another house. OR I could pay off some things and drop the rest on the house.
I like the last option better BECAUSE, whatever house I buy I will not be living in it until I die.
Back to the first subject...I told my daughter that I only moved back here to this part of the state because I needed to be near family and some of my friends for a while...out of that house that so many ghosts in it...for my mental health. I feel like I have come a long way.
