I was going to enter a comment on my last Entry but it was getting long so I thought I would do a new Entry lol!
The house we are considering looking at to maybe buy is so cheap as it is a fixer upper.Dh drove by there today to look at it and he said it is in a nice area but he didn't have a chance today to call a real estate agent yet to go inside....I can just imagine though on how much work it will need for the price they are asking.
Dh wants to move back to Vancouver Island, that is where he grew up , he has always wanted to move back there but I was always hesitant, he was always posted all over with being in the military and then once he retired I was worried about being able to afford to live there .He is worried about his mom and wants to be closer to her and after her just losing her dh this past Friday and her dd 3 years ago I can see his point, he is her only living child and it also breaks my heart to think that she has lost so much it is time for her to gain much, Us lol.
I guess I am jumping the gun as it isn't written in stone or anything but everything seems to be falling into place ......Over the past few days I have been crunching numbers etc and realized that yes, this is doable lol.
I am scared and my Entries seem to be scattered with thoughts on doing this and that. Since Dh gave over 20 years of service to the military they will move us anywhere in Canada within 3 years of dh retiring from them.....it will be 2 years this March since his retirement started so that means from Now till March 2008 or 15 months is all that we have so that the moving expenses etc will be covered by them. Dh does have a military pension but it isn't enough to support our family but it is sure a blessing to have :).
Dh is also going to talk to his boss and see if he can work from B.C for him........I don't know what his boss will say but we can at least ask as stranger things have happened. Alot of Dhs work when he isn't travelling is working on the computer and making phone calls. He does repair and maintain hospital/medical equipment as well so I don't know how that will work with being out there.
Until tomorrow, many Hugs and Blessing being Sent To All
