A brief update

Well, we're still looking at moving, but things are looking a little brighter. This isn't the ideal situation for us, but it's come to be the only option. We've gotten financing for a house - a trailer to be exact. I know it's not the best long term investment, but neither is renting.

The good news is, if we get it all lined up, it will be cheaper in the long run because between the house and the land it will be less than we are paying for rent right now. The bad news is, we need $5000 down, plus the deposit on the land, plus pay for all the hook ups. So, total moving in we're looking at closer to $6000.

The good news is, we have some money coming in. My disability is changing from short term to long term and I should be getting the last short term and the first long term checks at the same time, so between the two, that's about 2000. Also, since my employment status is changed to "inactive", they will close out my 401K, that's about 2700. So, that gets us most of the way there. But the bad news is, it's not all the way there. And if we use all that, that doesn't leave us anything to live on.

So, please be in prayer for us that we can pull this off. We're looking into some options to get a little extra money. If we have anything you might want to buy, please give me a call!
