I'm glad you had a chance to look at the "other side of the fence"...

Just think of it as it is just for now...it's kind of like my roommate situation...he moved in my place (1/2 story) last May...After he pays August rent...financially I'm ok...

It has been a sacrifice for me and the kids...one they willing accepted as they wanted us to keep the house...I explained what financially that would mean over the next 12-18 months...The boys actually told me that they want to bring their children here...

I hadn't planned on holding the house that long...

But who knows ... it really is the only home that they will ever really remember...so I may end up still here when I have grandchildren...
