We have decided to take on the work and move. The savings will eventually lead to a down payment for a house. The state of GA has a home ownership program that could work well for us. Heck, we might be able to do it in less than a year. The down payment is minimal (less than $3,000), and the interest rates are pretty low. They don't require a massive credit score either. We will see.

We decided that if we hire a cleaning company to come in and do the top to bottom scrubbing then we could just paint at least the master bedroom and bath and living room (the places that the furniture is hardest to move once it's in)and replace the blinds in the master and the linoleum floor in the master bath I could live with fixing the rest after we move in.

So.....lots and lots and lots to do. I wish I were home right now to handle it instead of at work. When we moved from CA to GA I was laid off from work so I was able to pack and clean the entire time which took a lot of stress off me. I don't handle stress well at all! smile

All that being said, Gabe is being VERY sweet and caring. He saw how nervous and stressed I was and was making sure to give lots of hugs and ILY's. It's a bummer it takes me freaking out to get that from him. Maybe I need to be a wreck more often! LOL
