Back in Saskat, but moving in June.............

That's great news!~Hope your house sells a.s.a.p. so you can have no worries when you get into your new one!~ In this economy? Why not? It's time for an upgrade girl since he finally made up his mind!~ Haha!~

Hi sparky,


Welcome back, I've missed you! did you find a nice house to your liking? and did you have a fantastiic time on your road trip? I bet you did. Sometimes it is a good idea to move in times like this, it could turn out the best to do as my friend did, she even had extra money to go abroad on holiday. I wish you luck on the sale of your house. Glad you are back. Love and hugs.

Hey sparks! That's wonderful news that you are moving where
you will be closer to family and friends! I am so happy for
you! If that's what you want and you are able to do it then
I think it's great! That happened really quick too! And you
will be moving by June! I guess you sure will be busy this
summer packing and then getting your new house in order! I
do hope that everything works out well for you!

So glad to see you back Sparks....hasn't been the same around here without ya. I'm glad to hear things are falling into place for you and you're moving to a new home that is closer to friend and family. Aww...that home of yours looks lovely and wouldn't mind moving to a home like that in a flash...mmmm......an offer?
(Pyewacket looks in her wallet...sifting through her money}...would you go for $20.00? LOL

Are you kidding? After I have fought so hard to keep this house? No way! Seriously though, I'm not sure I would, but I have been known to do crazier things than that. If you can do anything to help the economy, I think you should. Blessings on you big adventure!!=}

Hey, look who is back!!!

In this economy, assuming I could sell my house, and assuming somebody else would do the packing and unpacking, maybe. Lower taxes!!!

I'd love to buy your house but it kind of snows up there. Maybe I can send somebody with thicker blood?

But I really, really hope it works out for you!

Sparks, I just figured you had dropped off the side of the earth some place. Actually, my laptop is OUT...and I didn't have your address in my PC, so I couldn't ask you how you were doing or where you were. Hope your house sells quickly and you get the house you want. So you did get your husband off on the trip?

If you can move and the price is right, this is as good a time as any You may not get as much for your house as you'd like, but you're also not probably paying as much for the new place as that owner would like so it's equal, more or less
I hope the new place is easier on you, your dog needs a rest from rescuing you

If this house is in Saskatchewan LLoydminster I'd be very interested as I'm moving too. Looks like a nice house. Where is it? and what do you expect to get for it?

Moving anytime is a scary scenario, but especially with the economy the way it is now. We just moved in 2007 and now have 28 more years to pay $1,700.00/month, well, until the insurance and taxes go up; then we'll have to pay even more.

With my husband losing his job in December and not getting another one until just this month, I can tell you we were both plenty scared! My husband has the physical stamina required to move, but I don't. The move HERE almost killed me!

I would worry about our house selling. I think that would be my major concern. I've seen so many houses up for sale recently and, sadly, seen a few evictions (furniture, clothing, etc. piled up on the sidewalk/curb). I've heard that housing foreclosures are at an all-time high and know all too well how easy it would be to lose our own home.

I own another house and land in southern Virginia and have been wanting to put it on the market but I know I won't get anywhere near what it's worth if it were to sell right now. People are scared and are hanging onto their money or, what's left of it since the price of everything has gone up and gasoline prices are on the rise again.

But, if you feel confident enough that you'll have the money to pay a mortgage for however long you take a mortgage out for, go for it!

I just read an article about our President Obama urging people to refinance their homes in order to bring down the monthly payments and, of course, to stimulate the economy. In our case, refinancing wouldn't help since we've only had the house jut under two years and there's very little equity built up in it. What equity there is would be eaten up by the refinancing fees.

I wish you much luck in your move! I hope you can sell your house quickly and the move to the next province goes smoothly and easily.

Don't let your inbox scare you! That's the least of your worries right now. I know what moving takes, especially when it's not right next-door! We moved about 110 miles west of where we were living and it was a nightmare! Well, okay, it was a nightmare because I was moving my mother's things out of her apartment and bringing them here at the same time that we were moving. Her apartment was also over 100 miles away. Your move should be easier than mine was.

Just remember to LABEL everything! I still have boxes in the basement that are piled up and I have no idea what they contain! Apparently, it's nothing I absolutely NEED because I seem to have found everything of mine, so all those boxes are most likely things my mother and stepfather had... tons of photographs and boxes and boxes of files.

I'm sure we'll all forgive you for not getting back to us right away, so don't worry about that. You have something way more important to do!

One thing I found VERY helpful... if you can get volunteers to help you, by all means, DO!

Good luck!!!
