We made it! We finally sold our townhome and moved out. We have been trying to get to a point to move for 9 years and finally it has come to pass. We are happily held up in a hotel that has been very comfortable. I'm sure we will have some rough spots but we all feel so much happier at the present. We have put an offer on a short sale and are still waiting for the approval from the bank that holds the mortgage on the desired home. We may be living the extended stay life for a couple of months.
On our first day we though we might have hit a snag when our little dog started to bark when we tried to leave her alone in the room. OH the stress! We didn't want to have to relocated in one day. Luckily the scruf-o-lumps mellowed out and now is actually more mellow than when we lived in the townhome. She use to bark at e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Now people are passing by and making noise and she is chilled out. We can leave her for a while with no problem. Thank goodness! BIG RELIEF!
We are (so far) having a blast living in this hotel. I plan on making some lifestyle changes while we are making this transition. I have started already. I am eating breakfast every day (they have a free breakfast here that is pretty cool) and working out almost every day. They have a fitness room here and pool, hot tub. We are taking advantage and feeling good about it. I am also trying to do as much produce shopping at the farmer's markets and eating healthy (we always eat healthy) but also watching my portions.
Even though we are living with a home up in the air, we have less stress and are looking forward to the next step of our journey. I hope to update soon and document our journey.
