I don't have to keep the house but I really really want to. We did so much work on it..I just love the way everything came out. Also- with the market down..I don't want to walk away from all of the money that we invested in home improvements. I can handle all of this..but it is a scary road to go alone. But this is my new life and I need to be brave.

I have been alone in the house for 4 months. I know there are ghosts but I am going to create new memories here...memories sans the H..actually I already have created some new memories. My home is my investment. I just need to get used to the idea..and the financial adjustments- but I should be fine. Expect some more panic attacks along the way though. wink

I got all my refi paperwork in today..except for my W2'- which my H was supposed to send me but didnt. Just sent him a quick reminder.

Going for Thai food tomorrow night with my new "friend". I am kind of nervous. I haven't been on a date in 10 years!!!!! I am also kind of excited. wink
