Decisions

There has been a lot of pressure as of late, decissions to be made. The main one being the house and what to do. I know that after two years I wont' be able to make the house payments. So what do I do? The housing market here in the county is terrible and we are recording in my office many foreclosures. And if I sell the house, the money I pay for rent is equal to what my house payment is. uncle Chuck wants me to sell and move away from this county. Uncle Chuck raised his kids in 24 different countries as they were growing up, so moving at the drop of a hat is nothing to him. he doesn't understand that good ole Wallowa County family we have here. It doesn't matter if you don't know the person passing you on the street, he is your family. The nastiest gossip will be by your side with a casserole and hugs during the hard times. It is hard to explain, I guess you would just call it "small town life". I can't imagine moving to a place where I don't know anyone and actually flourishing. I think I would be a sinking ship.
But he is right when he says "young lady (he is in his 80's), you can't afford that house right now, let alone for 30 years!"
So options....I already have one part time job outside of my full time job. Anne says PRAY that God will help you keep the house some way. She says I would fail miserably in moving and that Uncle Chuck is wrong. Kate says "sell immediately, put $50,00 into a small house in Enterprise" Jerry says Sell and move! Sue says "don't leave me!'
And where would I go? The thing is I don't have any idea where i would go and I dont' think the house will sell in this market. And that makes me feel that no matter which direction I go, I will probably fail. But as Marty says "Jackson, even if you lose it all, you can still start fresh and you will be ok."
