Big Doings!
Wow, what a turn my life has made!!! Here goes! John got tired of being unemployable as a Literature professor so he taught himself Flash computer language and got a wonderful job in Virginia. He's been there for about a month now and Kaitlin and I are staying here in Rockford to tie up loose ends and save money to move the household. Since we bought this house only 3 years ago and the crash in the housing market we know we were either going to take a huge hit or try to rent it. Well, we all know how awful out of state landlording can be. But as always, God had another plan! My daughter Rachel, the one on top of a mountain in California has decided to move back home. She and the kids will be living in this house as rent to own. It's a win - win. We don't have to worry about the house, she has a safe reliable home to raise the kids with a fenced in back yard, fireplace in the living room, wood burning stove on the porch and three bedrooms! I don't have to pack and move everything by myself, because she has offered to help and we don't have to find a home for every little piece of furniture. She will take what we don't bring!!!! It is all working out beautifully. She's moving the first week in November. Our goal is to move in January or February. I'm so happy to help her and her help with this house is invaluable!
