    The difficult task of obtaining new housing

    Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 02:41 PM EST [General]

    So not even 2 weeks into our new year, and I have been informed I need to move. I would love to. Just a few problems. 

     

    One I need a good sized house, after all we do have 4 children. Being 2 girls, and 2 boys we can fit into a 3 bedroom quite nicely, but we would still need space for their clothing and other items.

    Next we need it to be affordable. After all we need to feed the children living under the roof. What good is shelter if we can't eat? My husband tries hard, and makes a decent wage, but I have been unable to work for awhile (Lupus flare ups have been hard to manage, but we had no idea it was Lupus until last summer). Not that me working would be great either because we would still require daycare for the children.

     

    On to the location problem. We are unsure where we need to look for a home because of my Husband's job. At the current moment he is driving 2 hours (there and back) each day, which is eating up a lot of money in gas. So moving close to where he works would be optimal. But he may not be at this current location for long. Right now we are in limbo. He could be at this store for the next three years, or three months. Makes searching a real pain. It also makes us leery about purchasing a home, which was always our goal. We worry that we would buy a home, and then he would be transferred which would leave us with him commuting even further.

     

    I have spent the last few days searching for rentals online to give us a better idea of where things are. As well my Husband has been trying to narrow down a location by talking with his employers about the future. I hope something points us in the right direction soon.
