I thought sleeping on it would help; it didn't. I don't think I ONLY like the rental because there were fantasies associated with it. A lot of my visions are just of me being there-snug as a bug in rug. Puttering around in my cute little house. Having girlfriends over. Setting up bird feeders. (Lots of trees around there.)

You know what sucks about this? I can't call up the one person that could really help me walk thru the pros and cons and help me make my mind up. I know that my H would have ideas that I hadn't thought of and would ask me the important questions. I tried to talk to my mom, and she was no help. My girlfriend wasn't sure either. She was more skewed towards the rental, then towards the purchase, then towards the rental-no clear answer. Lender/friend says "buy", but she hasn't seen either house, so I don't know what she would say if she had seen them. My DD is no help because she is already being 'flakey' about moving in, so I can't let that influence me too much.

And if I do the trick of "making up my mind" and seing how I feel- either way,I feel like I lost something by not getting the other house. UGH!
