An Update
So, on Sunday and Monday DH and I went Down South and checked out some houses and tried to look for jobs. On Sunday we toured the houses with a real estate agent and some were really nice for the price, and a couple were...well...not so nice. We've finally decided on one that's in the $115K - $119K range. I think we can qualify for a $128K FHA loan, and that will be more than enough to get the house we really like.
As far as the jobs are concerned, well...It's the curse of Monday. All the places I wanted to visit to talk about jobs were closed on Monday. We only stayed until about 1PM, so we didn't have time to do much, anyway, but it was frustrating to know that half of what I wanted to get done Down South couldn't get done because everything was closed.
I spoke with dad today about getting help to move down there, and it wasn't promising. I just want to go, and we need a little help (down payment help, money for DH's class he needs to take) and he's not budging. It's bothering me for several reasons, but reasons I'd rather not go into. It doesn't matter to me, though - either way - with their help or without it - we're going. You don't like it? Sorry, Charlie. It's our life to master, not yours, and we think our direction is the best for us. Aside from that, we're all set. We just need to get a time-line together and get down there.
That's about it - that's what almost all my thoughts are centered on these days, so like I've said before, that's what all my posts (for a while, anyway) are likely to be about.
