Big Changes!

Several months ago, my husband and I talked about selling our rental house.  This was our first home and was a great starter home when we first got married, but we outgrew it very quickly.  We currently rent to his aunt and she's getting a REALLY good deal, which means we are not making any money on it and may possibly be losing a tiny bit.  We hadn't made a final decision or even told anyone we were thinking about it and have had 3 people call about it, one of which was a Realtor!

We should know more by the end of this week, but right now it looks like a pretty well done deal :)   Once the bank is paid off we'll be making a few major home improvements, like new wiring :)  I'd really love to start with adding a master bathroom, but I suppose it would make much more sense to replace the 100+ year old wiring and finish replacing all the windows.  I am pretty excited that we are also planning to improve the insulation and put up new vinyl siding.  The best part of all these things is probably how much our gas and electric bills should improve!

Update...

Things were a little scary for a few weeks around the end of September.  My Dad was hospitalized for awhile, but things have been looking great the last few weeks and we are Thanking God everyday and praying everything continues to go well for a long time :)  During the time my Dad was hospitalized I was making lots of trips back and forth to Kansas City and started relying way too much on my credit card for gas and food.  I kept justifying it to myself because I have no interest on the card right now and it really was an emergency.  My 6 months of no interest is going to be up in January and now I've got some paying off to do!

Now that things seem to be settling back down, I plan to work on planning a budget again, especially since my husband is finally ready to work on a budget.
