A blessing in disguise...a very good disguise!

As every one knows, Trent and I have not been spending much time at home this year. I have been out of town for about a week and a half this go-round and had planned on being gone for another week and a half. However, on a quick trip home one night, Trent had found that we had missed a delivery attempt for a certified letter from the company we rent our home through. It was too late to call the company so we were left with a long night of speculation of what it could be. In the morning, our worst fears we realized when he read the letter and found they are selling the house and we have until July 15th to be out. Ahhh! I don't have time for this!!! So now I have to cancel all my plans for the next 3 weeks and get home to Montana, get everything packed up and find a new place to live. In the end, we have decided that this is the push we needed to get out of this house, get our finances in order and get prepared to buy our own place. I would like to find a decent condo or apartment with a short lease term that will only cost about half of what we have been paying in rent. We could pay down a lot of our bills with a small rent payment and be ready to buy by the end of the year. Maybe by then we could find a home we like too. So that's the plan. We'll see what happens. Until next time....
