When The Timing Is Right The Timing Is Right!
Lots of you that know me know I’ve been talking about moving back down to the city, out of redneckville Northern Michigan for about four or five years now. My best friend B and her husband S bought a second home a couple years ago for her brother & his wife & they ended up backing out of the arrangement which left them with a 2nd house payment. It had been rented out but recently became available again.
These past two weeks down here have made me dread going home. We started talking about the house being available for rent and I found myself getting excited. I didn’t want to get too excited because I have the lease in my apartment, Caleb’s ‘home’ is up there, Caleb’s dad is up there, etc etc. But as for me – there really isn’t much up there. Yes I have a couple friends that I hang out with once in awhile but other than that there is nothing up there. My family is up there too but even being up there I don’t see them a whole lot.
I figured all I could do was talk to my landlord and see what the consequences of breaking my lease would be. Things went way better than I anticipated! Then there was Caleb’s dad that I had to talk to. I have been waiting ALL day to write this blog post and share my exciting news. But I had to wait until I finished a conversation with Caleb’s dad.
So without further delay…..
Pictures of Our New Home!
Caleb standing outside at the front door:
My New Kitchen:
Another Kitchen Pic:
I’m Most Excited About This! LOL
Living Room:
My Bedroom (it’s kind of dark):
The Bathroom:
The Hallway:
There are 2 other bedrooms but I didn’t snap pics of those. One will be my office (how exciting to have a room dedicated to JUST my home office!). I didn’t take pics of the little ‘deck’ off the sliding glass doorway in the kitchen because the lawn needs to be mowed really bad. LOL
I wasn’t expecting things to fall into place so fast. I was thinking I could have a good couple months to get everything up North situated and then move but it’s happening all within the next couple WEEKS! I have to have Caleb enrolled in his new school down here by Sept 24th when they do head count because we are doing school of choice (meaning he’s going to my friend B’s daughters school instead of the school that is by our house) so they have rules that have to be followed.
I am so EXCITED! And for me to full excitement about something again is a good sign! I’ve been so down in the dumps lately that I’ve finally got something to look forward to.
Woo Hoo!
And I’m paying the same amount for rent on this house as I was paying in my apartment so everything is still going to work out ok financially.

I’m so glad you’re moving because it sounds like it’s just what you need..The house looks beautiful and if I’m not mistaken I think you’re moving to the town where my husband and I first met and lived out our 1st 2 years of marriage. It will always be a special place for us. Congratulations Girl – great things ahead for you this year!

I’m so happy for you Tishia! A real home! You have to take pictures after you get it all decorated.
This is one of the wonderful benefits from working online. You can pick up & move your business with you wherever you go.
