We’re still up in the air in regards to this house we are buying or not buying. We simply have not been able to close the deal. However, we’re so committed to moving, we have little choice but to roll out of here (in two trucks with three dogs) this weekend.
We were supposed to close on March 11th. If we can’t close by the time we get there, we plan to rent a house and relax / recover from all the stress and chaos that’s had us tweaked since August. Hopefully one of these options will work out!
We are likely to be without internet access for some days so if I’m slow to respond to something, that will be the reason. I have the newsletters written through the end of the month.
Thanks for your support.
Drive carefully. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and wish you godspeed!
Safe travels, wishing the best for you and your family whatever the best turns out to be
All the best Elsa! Praying that it works out nicely for you and your family!
Safe travels, Elsa and family. I hope everything will work out for the best. <3
Good luck and all the best!
Have a safe trip. Best wishes for a soft place to land.
Good luck Elsa!
Safe travels and all the best to you and your family! I hope you can get some down time to relax even for a few hours, if nothing else for now!
Good for you. Glad you are not letting the insignificant details stop you. Like there was any chance of that! ๐ May the force be with you.
Good luck! Wish you and your family the best!
Best of luck on your adventure, Elsa!
Best wishes!
Have a wonderful road trip! I really hope it all gets nailed down in the coming days. xoxo
I hope you have a safe and fun trip!
((((All the best Elsa. St. Christopher’s got your back:)))
Good luck Elsa, and safe trip
Best of luck, dear Elsa!
Who knows, maybe this is for the better… Maybe you’ll find a much better house once you get there :)))
Wishing you safe travels.
I am a believer in everything happens for a reason. The “reason” will be revealed….maybe a much better property is waiting for you. Have a safe journey!!
May God bless you and your family.
Exciting!! Best of luck ๐
Elsa,
Remember – you’ve overcome much more difficult situations. Onward and upward! Sending you good energy!
Good luck Elsa; your moving situation has been on my mind but I know it will all work out. I’m glad you are sticking with your plans…keep your chin up and safe travels with you and your family!
Stay safe, Elsa. I hope it will all work out in your favor once you arrive. Happy trails!
Hoping you get your happy landing as soon as possible, and that you and your family can get to take that well earned breath and regroup. Onwards! x
Good Luck to you Elsa. I hope everything will work out for the best. ๐
Sale has been off and then on all day. They still don’t have the appraisal.
I have two possible houses we can rent.
Really, really stressful. I don’t think I would call this an “adventure” when I could end up with 2 trucks and three dogs, a son and a husband who need to get on a plane, and nowhere to go!

It is. Having been through the same situation, it’s really stressful and not very happy making. Anytime another says, ‘You need more adventure’ and I am like, ‘Oh, hell no.’ I hope it works out better in the end for you.
(Renting a house sounds like the best play. At this point, I wouldn’t close on the house until I was sure just what the hell is going on. Are there hidden land lines?)

The last time I moved it was only 10 minutes away but I still had to sell my condo and that was stressful as it took months! Throwing and/or giving away 75% of my belongings was stressful, too. But, I survived it and so will you! Best wishes to you! P.S. – This lady’s story really inspired me after my moving ordeal as she sold everything and moved her family to Alaska. http://www.alaskafromscratch.com/about/ Take care!
Thank you. It is very bad. ๐
Sending prayers up, Elsa. And (((hugs))))
Sounds like a leap of faith
Feels more like Evel Knieval trying to make it ‘cross Snake River Canyon. Not too smart, but once you’re lined up to go, you go!
This is it. You just made me remember I dreamed last night about watching, birds-eye view, a man jet skiing thru an ocean and then ramping over an entire island. He landed it perfectly and crowds cheered him.
Wish you a perfect landing!
Thank you, MR. ๐
How exciting!
Slรกn abhaile!
I am going to hijack your phrase, “in two trucks with three dogs,” and employ it as if in an ancient language for the passage of time, where things work out when one plans and stays on their path; expecting a good result… ๐
Godspeed, dearest Elsa. love>>>>
I wish there were anything I could do to ease the load. Of course you know that if I *can* help, you need only tell me how.
Sending love and best wishes for as smooth a transition as humanly possible.
xoxo CPG

Sending up prayers for safe travels and a smooth landing!
Elsa, I know the feeling. I tried closing on two condominiums for the first time in seven years, after enduring an impossible time living with my 83-year-old, bi-polar, psychotic, borderline personality Virgo (no offense to Virgo’s) mother. And, can you believe, both condo’s went under contract to different buyers. The sellers chose the highest bidders. And did so without telling my realtor first. I had already packed and bolted.
Now am stuck sleeping on a couch in the middle of an indoor junk yard of a good friend’s house, who is divorced and on and off again living with his 16 year old son, who’s on spring break. Neither one of them are hygenic.
I can’t tell you how many cockroaches I’ve killed since I’ve been here. There’s food everywhere. And dirty laundry that downright stinks. I have to sleep with a fan on my face, just to avert the fumes.
And what’s worse, is that the place I was about to rent, because I lost the bids to my new home – downpayment and all – fell through yesterday, because the current occupant decided to extend her lease.
All of my stuff, excluding heavy furniture, is in bags made of fabric in the back seat of my Passat, that I bought for the move. Instead, I’m stuck.
Am debating whether to just drive back across the country to Los Angeles, San Fran or Seattle (where I made the initial mistake of leaving) or staying put in Fort Lauderdale where I am. But the more I see of this place, the more am thinking that this is the Universe telling me that this is happening for a reason. Fort Lauderdale is not for me.
So I just have to let it go for the moment and let it be. Meditate on it. Pray on it. Sit on it. No pun intended.
But I know what you’re going through Elsa.
I’m trusting all of this to the Power’s that Be and leaning heavily on Faith and lots and lots of Hope. Not to mention prayer.
I just keep telling myself how much worse it would be if I were sleeping in my car or some cheap motel room.
In the end, it always turns out that there was a very good reason for this. But, right now, in the middle of it, I keep asking the Universe why me?
Be grateful you have the support of a loving family. In the end, that’s all that really matters isn’t it?
You’re in my prayers. I have a feeling everything will be fine. Hopefully, for us both.
xo
Safe travels! Relax and enjoy the start of a new chapter in your lives!
There is nothing new I can add here but you and your family (fur babies included) are in my thoughts and prayers. May the good Lord and archangel Michael keep you safe and St. Christopher watch over your travels.
Thank you, Kathleen. ๐
Blessings and safe travels and remember it is not the destination but the journey that matters.
Thanks, Sujata. ๐
