8 days

We have exactly eight days until we have to be moved out. I have done a lot of packing, most of what can be seen in this picture. There are other boxes in the basement. I have no problem working hard, but for some reason the thought of packing all this stuff up only to unpack it all in a few days seems so ridiculous. If we actually had a rental or a place to go I wouldn’t feel the need to pack everything but at this point we are still homeless. I have a few rentals I am viewing today, but so far I have found that rentals are way over-priced. Nothing is under $1500 and most of the ones between $1500-$2000 per month aren’t that great. It just baffles me. I wish we could have found a home that worked for us, but I guess it isn’t in the stars right now.

We did find a home we liked a lot and we even made and offer on it but they countered and we felt the counter was still too high for us. So we’re back at square one. I guess all I really want to do is get in a decent rental and get settled before our little girl arrives in November. Then we can start house hunting or maybe even build in the future. I am still not really stressed, but I am kind of tired. I hope we don’t have to do this too many times in our lives. 🙂
