  • Moving Up



    This is the condo complex I'm planning to move into.  3 br, 2 1/2 ba, balcony, nice big kitchen ... I'm a happier Momi.  I gave the owner my application and deposit check.  I'd be happier if I were buying instead of renting for another year, but I'll keep saving my money and by the time we reach the "three year" mark since the bankruptcy, I'll be ready to have that mortgage I'm working so hard to qualify for.  (Can't believe I'm excited about putting myself in debt!  LOL) 


    There is a park beside the complex with walking trails.  The boys are a little disappointed that there is no swimming pool, but they are excited about each having their own room.  Now, I'll be working my behind off to get packed up.  Move Day is June 28.  So I have my work cut out for me! 


    I've been planning that I'd hire movers to help me, but yesterday my friend offered help.  And maybe we can do the most of it ourselves.  Things are looking up. 


    Please keep praying for me as I move into the new job.  I'm still blown away by that.  I won't meet with my new boss until June 12 to work out the details and even after we hash that out, I won't start in the position until mid August.  But it's just perfect for me.  My best friend said, "You were born to do that job."  I will be working with people who are in difficult financial circumstances.  I'll be helping them work out things like spending plans, an emergency savings account, and whether or not they are taking all the tax credits they are allowed.  I'll be helping people - mostly single moms like me - figure out how they can have a better life.
