House hunting sucks when you’re pressured for time and anything decent you find you’re forced into a bidding war. House hunting should not be restricted with time pressures. It only adds stress, stress Cameron and I don’t need. Our wedding is less than 3 months away. Cameron is busy with his new job and with finishing up his masters. I’m busy with Wedding crafts, packing up the house while also maintaining it and fighting the weed war in our front and back yards – not to mention I do work 40 hours a week at a more and more demanding job. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, a first in a long time, but with everything else going on sometimes I have to choose where my energy goes and since my job pays the bills, it’s the first to receive my energy rations.
Thursday we spent what feel was another wasted day house hunting. What this all boils down to is why we made a big decision Thursday night. Cameron and I have decided we just don’t have the time or energy to buy a house right now. The pressure was forcing us to push the limits of what we can afford and what we want to afford. After consulting with our advisor (thanks Dad!) we have come to the conclusion that we just need to move to Elk Grove and the quickest, most viable solution to do so is to rent. Can’t say we’re thrilled about renting, but it’s what will get us there now and help get rid of some stress. We’re now on the hunt to find an open rental and can only cross our fingers that we don’t end up with a landlord like our current slumlord. We’re aiming to find something where we can move Memorial Weekend.
Wish us luck!
Love always,
Sarah
