Decided to call a realtor about selling the ranch.
Pooooop. I am a mess over this. Y'all are going to have to spend the next numerous months reminding me about all the pros of living in the city and about the fact that we can use our profit from this house to get into something much more affordable, save our money over the next 10 years, and then start over again when things are better. I think I am really going to struggle with not being depressed over this and have to remind myself that it isn't where we live that matters, it is the fact that we are together. Oh yeah, did I mention we will have to move to San Antonio for the meantime? Poop on that too.

Re: Decided to call a realtor about selling the ranch.
wait, I must have missed the first post? selling the ranch?! the house you built? Aw, I'm so sorry!
San Antonio is crap, but you'll be close to me! How's that for awesome?
You should move to NB, it's cheaper, I bet!
So sorry to hear this, but you'll get a lot of relief from it too. Tough financial decisions suck!!
I'm so sorry. Everything happens for a reason. And you are right, you and your family are well; that alone is priceless.
You can get through this. You are an amazingly strong person.

My thoughts exactly. I'll be holding good thoughts for you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I know you love the ranch.
Our first house was pretty much our long-term dream house, made affordable only because it was in Oklahoma. We were devastated about having to leave it, especially because we only got to own it a year. We had so many plans and hopes and dreams for that house. We still miss it. But in the end, moving was the right thing to do, even though it sucked. Five years later, I can honestly say that we're in a better place professionally, personally, etc., and while giving up that house sucked big time, at the end of the day, you and your family are the ones who make a house a home. As long as you have them, you're home. ((hugs))

This! I'm so sorry, but hopefully one day down the line you can build again and it will be fabulous!
*hugs* I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

What a tough decision to make. I'm sorry.
But on the plus side, I can probably rattle off a dozen things that would be nice about living in "civilization". Let me know if you need the "wouldn't it be cool to live near a grocery store" pep talk.
Married and it feels so good!
I am so sorry Kim.
That has got to be really tough decision.
I'm really, really sorry! We are considering the same thing and although this isn't our dream home and we didn't build it, it still sucks. I go back and forth every other day telling myself, "hey, we can find a neighborhood with a pool and maybe a sprinkler park, a different floorplan might be nice, maybe we'll get a kitchen that's already updated..." and then "but, I want to stay here and we've invested so much, we'll never get it back, and DH built our fabulous deck, etc." You have every right to be mad, sad, every emotion in the book. I also agree with pp'ers, you are an amazing, strong person and things will all turn out okay.
Civilization can be super nice! Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, the grocery store, the gas station, the liquor store - you know, all the basics. Also, on the off chance that I get out of the house alone, I can window shop at a ton of stores and hit them all in under 2 hours and feel refreshed. Just recently Homegoods has been added to that list. I hear SA has atleast one of those.

Life changing, I tell you.
Last night we were out of milk and had more in the fridge in 10 minutes, literally. It was like heaven. In a bowl of cereal at 9:00.
