I'm moving...

Good luck buying a home with a girl friend. Everyone I know that has tried that wished they never did.

We've been together almost 6 years, and marraige is basically a foregone conclusion. I almost proposed about two years ago, but decided to wait. I'm currently pricing some rings....

So while I appreciate your optimism (not), we'll be just fine.

On a side note, my best friend purchased a home with his long time girlfriend about 5 years ago. They are now married, still live in that house, and just had their first baby on Christmas Day.

Matt, so I guess you got that mess all fixed from that other contractor and I hope it did not set you back to much $.

we're still under construction but the floors were re-finished and they look great. I'll get some new pics posted once everything is done.

No mortgage so that makes the move better. I hate packing and unpacking.

Sorry to hear about your wife's loss. I just lost my mom 11-30-08 so trust me I know what your wife is going through. When I had to go back in my mom's place I felt weird but I got over the weirdness quickly. We are in the process of selling/renting the house out though.

It's always tough leaving the first house you own...I still pine for my old condo every now and then. Good luck Matty...

I just had two friend who dated these girls for a long time and they purchased a house and both relations went to shit in about a year. One had no problem selling their house back 4 years ago but the other friend has had the house on the market for 7 months and are going to loose money.

Well I'm sorry your friends had to deal with those situations. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that.

Matty must still be moving cause I haven't seen him post... that's quit a move. I've never had to take more than a day to get everything packed up and loaded but even then i'm pretty much telling myself "this is last time for at least 5 years." Yeah right.

... anyway, hope everything is going smooth for our fearless leader here on the warpath.

LOL that would be quite the move, we're all moved in. We hired movers and they knocked it all out in about 7 hours. We only moved about 20 miles north of where we used to live. Now we're just dealing with the mountains of boxes and a house that won't be done for a few more weeks so it kinda limits what we can unpack right now. We have no kitchen yet and the downstairs bedrooms need to be carpeted.

I hear the Mediterranean is nice this time of year... maybe a three week cruise. C'mon, all the money you're gonna save not making a mtg pmt. You should find out what olive523 thinks :)

One of her Mom's last wishes was for us to move into her house.....But it's definitely bittersweet. When we move in we'll be reminded of the reason why we're there. I know in time that will fade. But right now I'm bummed.
Glad to hear your move went pretty well. When you and your wife feel bummed, remember the bolded part. She's looking down, happy she could make your lives better.

Best wishes in the new home, God Bless you both.
