So, as Jer and I prepare for the worst we have come to some conclusions...
First, we need to rent our house out.
If the market were better we would try to sell it, but as it stands we would have to sell it at a loss... which is technically considered a short-sale. And it dings your credit. So for now we will be moving into Jer's parents basement. This is the most reliable way that we can see of being able to continue playing our house payments while I look for work.
Yes, that's right. I'm going back to work. I've applied to a temp service with the hopes of finding a job I can not just tolerate, but which I can enjoy. Hopefully something great will come my way.
If you are wondering what Jer will be doing, well...
He's going to go back to school.
He wants to go into computer tech. I'm glad he has a goal and something he can see himself doing :) And I hope that after we get through all of this we will be in a better place all around!
And who knows!? Maybe when we are all done we will truly be able to say "I understand" when the other complains about the monotony of housework or about a long week at work!
In the end, I have to think it's all for the best.
PS if you hear of any clerical or office jobs that are hiring... that's what I'd like to end up doing :)

So, I just wrote you an email, asking how things are. And now I have my answers.
That's exciting that Jer is going to school!
Good luck in the job hunt and the house renting!
Good luck! It will all work out :D
That is cool that Jer has decided to go to school. Is he going to ISU/UI in town?
And good luck getting the house rented out! Just a suggestion...if you haven't already, you might look at renting it through an actual agency...it is usually easier to find actual renters that was AND if you have "bad renters", your rental company will take care of 'em.
