Home Sweet Home
Wow, I'm really super bad at this. I have a crazy story to tell you, that is once again about two years old. Actually might be closer to 3... Who can keep track of time at this point 😩 When our friends needed their house back we actually decided to stay in Illinois. Crazy, right? Gabriel had a good job and we had made good friends and plugged in with a great church family. We ran into a few obstacles, though. For one, the rent around here is crazy and we couldn't really afford it on one income. We were barely making ends meet as it were. And I hadn't been able to figure out a working situation outside of the home that meshed well with my health issues (chronic migraines, unexplained low energy, and a few other symptoms sprinkled here and there) and the whole one car situation. A friend said, "why not buy a house? It's so much cheaper than renting." But I thought we'd never qualify, we didn't make much and didn't have any savings for a down pay...
