A week or so ago, Nathan and I woke up to a lovely little letter under our door that informed us of some housing changes at NWC. Because of the economy and the resulting drop in enrollment number, our school is dropping on of their main off campus housing facilities. And where will they put all of those homeless students? In married housing, of course.
That's right. We are being kicked off campus; the move out deadline is July 1st.
Granted, I'm not too disappointed. I've been wanting to move for quite some time, and I've spent a good amount of time searching for houses and condos online.
But now, it's for real. And I've discovered that searching is a little less fun when you have five months to find a place to live. Nathan seems to be really enjoying himself, though. We are looking to buy, because what we are paying in rent now is several hundred dollars more than the house payments will be on any of the condos or houses we are looking at. There are so many good deals right now, we feel that it would be silly to continue to throw money down the drain every month, which is basically what renting feels like after a while.
We are going to actually look at our first home this morning, after the class I am currently sitting in finishes up. Please pray for wisdom, guidance, and sanity during the next few months as we look for a new place to call home
Love to you all,
Lissa
bad lissa, stop blogging in class.
ReplyDeleteand don't worry about it, five months is plenty of time to find a place. i'll definitely be praying for you as you guys look for a place!
Good luck! And remember, there's no such thing as a smooth house-closing, so if you feel like everything is against you near the end, no one has a smooth closing. Not anyone I've met at least, including us! HAVE FUN HOUSE HUNTING!!!!
