Almost a year ago I deceided to sell my house and take the money made to pay off my debt and then buy a new place with more land. After a few months things started going down hill at work but not bad enought to worry about it. A couple months later still and no luck on moving the house things looking even worse at work. The rumors are running overtime and still no movement on the house and it's been about nine months now. This is when I made my post about maybe getting laid off. The last couple of months have been just plan sucky. I found out that the layoffs missed me by less then two months which help releave the stress level a little but I know if they make anymore cuts I'm gone. The other day I found out that I HAVE to rebid my job due to all the cutbacks and layoffs. I work here in Atlanta in our hanger but with my sinority I may not be able to stay there. I had to make a decision as to what I want to do to keep my job. There are a few options for me here in GA but if I can't get one of these positions I may have to move out of state. My house has been up for sale now for almost a year and there is noway I can afford a house payment, my bills and rent if I have to move. They are giving us one week to make a major decision. Well last week I get a call from a realtor that wants to show my house. Like the past 11 1/2 months I say sure come on over. Nothing more that day. The next day the same realtor calls me back and says that the guy that looked at my house the day before really likes it and wants his wife to see it. Now my hopes start going up. Saturday rolls around and the realtor calls me one more time to say that the guys wife is driving down from NY to see my house and that they should be here around 4-5pm. Well Sat. came and went with no more calls. Just as I'm starting to think Oh well another one gone the phone rings. It's my realtor. We have an offer.
It was a very good offer but I had to counter. We gave then a few hours to get back with us and the dead line came and went. 45 mins. late the phone rings again. They agreed with my asking price and asked for me to come up a little on my offer to help with closing cost. So I say sure why not. I FINALLY SOLD MY HOUSE.
We should get all the paperwork sorted out tomorrow and then I close next month. With all the crap that has come down in the past few weeks I can't even begin to tell you how much weight has been lifted off my chest. Now I can pay off the bills and if need be move without any problem.
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN.
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN.
