Relative Something

Yesterday was the day we finally pulled the trigger. I signed a bunch of documents and Cyndie consulted over speaker phone as the realtor we have chosen to find our future dream horse property, talked us through the price we will set for selling our current house. Photos were taken of the rooms and we created the list of features that will paint a picture of how irresistible this place is.

Meanwhile, we have received a new batch of listings for properties that meet some aspect of our search for the place we want to buy. There are currently 75 to consider! It is a bit overwhelming. A couple of really fine-looking options are about as far away from my current employment as they could get, while still being in our range of reasonably proximal to the Minneapolis International Airport.

Two thoughts come to mind… How am I going to keep the day-job, if the property we choose ends up being really far away from work, and how am I going to keep up with the chores this new property will require if I am driving for hours to spend days at the job-place? Oh, and another one… How will we afford the new mortgage if I don’t keep the day-job?

Sure, I’ve got doubts. But this is our dream, so you dispense with the doubts and trust the worthiness of the dream. Somehow, things will work out. Even if I can’t see how, yet.

The magic elixir of excitement and anticipation is coursing through my system. It’s invigorating.

…And a little nerve-wracking.
