Sunday & Updates

Well, for an update -- we did find out that Andy still has a job and is not affected by the lay-off. It is nice to know that we have an income coming in. Although, that still does not solve the problem of an unsold house in MN and the potential of having to pay rent & mortgage & double utilities. The last 9 months of doubling up was all on account of my great budgeting skills. You see, daddy's job gave us money to pay for 3 months of expenses related to relocation while our house was being sold. Well, we figured our house might now sell within 3 months, so I figured out how to make it last 9 months instead and we used every penny of that.

Right now we are housesitting for my friends. We have 3 different places we are at over the next few weeks. After that, the plan is to find something to rent month to month. I figured out we can probably double up for 6 months by using our savings, but beyond that we are screwed. So, we may get to stay in WI for another 6 months but it may be inevitable that we have to move away from here. Daddy has now had to start searching in MN for a new job so that we can live in the house that we own. The only way we would move anywhere else would be if they bought our house as part of the relocation. We did have another open house this weekend and a privcate showing this past week, but of the 3 groups through our place none of them want to call it home. So, that's the scoop.

We just don't know what the future holds for us or where we will be living mid-July. The only thing we know is that if we want to stay here or are able to, we will have an income coming in.

As for Sunday, we went to church in the morning (after Isabel & I took a bike ride, she is really enjoying going on bike rides) and then went to the Delafield Brewhaus for their Sunday brunch, which was fabulous by the way. After naptime it was playtime until dinner, then another bike -ride, which daddy came with us on. Then we went out for gelato and walked to Fowler Park. By the time we reached the park it was raining, then pouring. So, she never got to play on the equiptment and we just walked back to the car.

I'll have pictures to post later.
