I'll Lock Up

- On the move again...
Well, as some of you folks know I've had my house on the market since I lost my job back in July. It's almost impossible to find any work in the Central Coast area and it basically was the kick in the shorts we needed to move forward with our plans to move to Oregon around the Portland area.
So, there was an offer the other day, we countered and they accepted. Fairly clean too. I couldn't believe how easy they were on this. Of course I am selling at a loss but at least it preserves my credit, plus with the loss I should be able to write that off this next tax time. Of course this could fall through and we'll start over with another client, but for now all is good at the starting of this process. But, where we are moving the loss will be made up as now we have no debt of any sort and our credit is stellar.
Now I really have to hunker down, find out the least expensive moving method with the least amount of headache for me and my family. Plus within this 45 day period we'll need to find housing up in Oregon, be it a rental or a purchase. I've had a hard time finding a job up there too, mainly because I am from out of State and they don't want to deal with the issues of relocating someone. They probably don't think I'm all that serious. So the sooner I look like a local with a phone number and address the better my chances will be. There is one firm that is still interested in me up there, but the last time we spoke they didn't have the workload needed for hiring me. I'm hoping that things will change here in the next month and that will turn around. Of course, I will be making al the rounds once I'm up there hoofing it from door to door to get me out there again.
We're all very excited for this next chapter to finally unfold in our lives. I know I'm rather keyed up right now and am a tad dizzy thinking about it all. I know, one step at a time. Breather in, breathe out. The dizzying part of it is the logistics. trying to coordinate it all to come off smoothly to where there is an easy transition with no gaps. So we can just move from one house to the other. Overlaps are ok, gaps, not so much.
So anyway, lets all keep our fingers crossed and the thoughts positive. We shall do this and do it well. Things are finally moving forward and falling into place. I was beginning to doubt that this would ever happen and that we would be stuck here.
Anyway, that all for now, I think I'm finally running out of steam.
Cheers!
