Found a GREAT apartment!

I am getting excited. 

Bankruptcy should be done and closed in a few weeks. Seperation and temporary custody papers have arrived.  H is probably moving out in the next week or two.  Foreclosure process is starting. And I found my next home.

It's in a quiet, quaint, historic town, in a historic building. Sort of loftish.  Newly renovated and restored. Stainless steel appliances - including a new washer and dryer.  Nice details.  Gorgeous wood floors. Lots of windows.  It's a little more than what I want to spend, but do-able. 

I'm in love. It's so right up my alley.

I first looked at the tiny one bedroom as an immediate temporary deal, only to hear H say he'll probably move soon and to discover the 2 bedroom was coming available in the spring.  I'll probably move in April - about the time I'll need to be out of here. 

It's 15 minutes to work. Small town living. There is a farmers market nearby that I intend to sell at, the library is nearby, preschool is in walking distance. Post office, bank, grocery, and a nice family restaurant are all within walking distance.   

I'm excited about getting my old life back!

    That is great. I think you mentioned before but I still did not realize the house would be involved, just curious about that part.

    I cannot wait for you to be able to move on.

    I was going to try and sell it, then short sell it, but there are some new codes in our county (we live in the country) that require that I would have to put in a new septic system before a sale.  It's really hurt rural home sales I guess.  When my county supervisor showed up wanting me to vote for him a few weeks ago I told him to go take a leap.  The house is an older home and it's way too huge of an investment, or a project for the new home owner that I would never get any of that back out of it, and here I'm going thru bankruptcy...it just didn't make sense. A realtor I trust and my lawyer told me to just let it go into foreclosure.

    It really sucks. This and a bankruptcy were never in my plans.  Not my best period in life, but I am determined this is my rock bottom. It's onward and upward from here.

    J, at least your rock bottom is from trusting people and caring and trying too much. I am sorry about the house, I know you put a lot into buying it and we're very proud.

    Nice perspective on it Jen.  I have decided to spend the next couple of years catching up financially, raising DD, finding out who I really am and finding my own personal happiness. Until I get healthy personally, I'm not getting involved with anyone.

    And if I do find someone I am remotely interested in, I'm taking a good hard look. I have am going to be very picky  - for myself, and especially for DD.

    It can only get better from here.
