Time warp

Things have been so crazy around here for the last month. Let me see if I can back track. Michaela flew out here at the begining of August to spend her break with us. By then Tim was winding down on his work, so was able to spend time here at home with her. I started the school year teaching 6th grade for a teacher that was out injured. A few weeks into that one of our other teachers left to head back East. The job was offered to me as long as I committed to the entire school year. Tim and I talked it over for a bit, and realized that it was probably the best way to go. Our house is still sitting here on this stale market, with no bites at all. And since I need to be working full time in order for Tim to be able to survive up there on his own, I am now teaching Kindergarten! A bit of a strech from the high schools I am trained to teach, but fun non the less.
The movers were here a few weeks ago and stripped down the house, leaving only a few things behind for Scott and I. Right after that Tim took off for Colorado with Michaela. He got up there Labor Day and has been house hunting since then. He thinks he found a nice one, just waiting on the bid process. Never in my life did I think I would own a home, let alone be in a spot where I had to have 2 of them! So Scott and I sit here waiting for the house to sell, but knowing that when it does we'll be moving into an apartment, or something of the sort.
It's been a week now since Tim left and things are setteling into a new rutine, but lonley and quiet with out him here.

we threaded the needle by selling our house right before the market went south.
a week after, barry across the street couldnt find a renter for his house for months.
remember, he bought our house- for what we wanted for it i might add.
a week later, we would not have been able to get that same money.
dont fret though.
from what i hear, it's gonna be back up to a sellers market soon.
mimi and bryce are now getting people to walk throgh their house in SV after almost a year of nothing!
