Where's my pot of gold?

[StrongEnough]

Hi everyone.

Becca1975- Thanks so much for your support the other night, I will drop by your thread to leave you a proper thanks though.

H and I went to NH this weekend to look at some properties. We have been looking for almost a year now But, I think we were never really serious about it because of our instability. Well, we were out in the middle of nowhere land way up north. In the mountains, it was beautiful.

H and I managed to have a pleasant weekend. No arguing or hard feelings. Kids drove us both crazy, but hey, that's what they do. There was a certain series of "strange" events on Saturday that caused some stress and tension, but we both said our piece and pushed it aside.(That is until tonight, guess he had more to say and more questions to ask)

Anyhow, we decided to just go for it and we are putting our house on the market. We did find a beautiful house this weekend, but it is bank-owned and I can't make an offer until I sell my house. So, if our house sells and we haven't found one to purchase, we will just rent a house until we find one.

I am very excited to be moving. I have wanted out of my miserable state for a long time, but had a hard time leaving my parents and brother. I have finally decided that if they want to see me or the kids, they have cars and can drive there. It's kind of like a new start. I am a bit nervous about the whole ordeal because H and I are still very unstable in our R.

But, all things considered, it would still be a better life for the kids if we don't make it and get D'd. Atleast I know out financial situation will be better as property values are cheaper in that state then they are in mine. My mortgage payment will be almost 1/3 of what it currently is. Per our original divorce agreement, already granted by the judge just never finalized.......I wouldn't have to worry about the mortgage or utilities.

So, there are pro's and con's to the situation. But, if there is no risk.....there will never be any gain. Hmm...I think I can apply that elsewhere in my twisted little life here.
