New Computer

It has been a while since I blogged. My computer crashed and I lost my bookmark for this blog. Thankfully someone posted a link to start a blog on here and I was able to find it.
The house search is dismal. Dave Ramsey says to only have a house payment that is 25% of your monthly take home pay. WE have looked at every house in our price range and a bit higher. Nothing!! Today we decided that we are going to look into rentals. They are more in our price range and I think it would be the sensible thing to do for a while. WE have been living in an RV for almost 6 months and it is getting a little close. My furniture, kids toys and personal items have been in storage for 1 year. I think I am ready to have a household again. But I do know one thing, I will be going through everything with a fine tooth comb. I know what it is like to only need the essentials and I know we have way to much of everything. I have been taking stuff to the local thrift store but I think I am going to have a big garage sale after we find a place. Who know, that money might just pay for a new washer & dryer. Of all the things I miss that are in storage, I miss my freezer the most. I have a very tiny freezer on top of the fridge and have to turn my ice cube trays sideways because it is to short.
I have a call into a local real estate agent that handles rentals and she has two that I am interested in. I think renting for a while I don't feel so much pressure to find the "right" or "perfect" house. I can concentrate on area and price. And if there is something I don't really like it won't be such a big deal. I can live with it for a while.
