Packing

Halloween Eve and we had packed up like crazy.  Our maintenance guy was really nice enough to help us out with the loading, driving our things to Vermont, and then unload over there to Vermont.  I am going to miss him and his wife.  They have been so nice to us.

The waiting

One thing I hate is waiting for something, especially this house we have been waiting for to move into.  Its on its last process.  Its pretty stressful and I'm coming to a point now that I can't wait to leave Maine completely.  I'm so over with this state.  I'll never return to this state.  There is nothing here that Maine could offer me.  Craig knows how I am feeling and he also can't wait to get all this over and done with.

I'm pretty excited on moving to Vermont and seeing what its like.  I am pretty nervous about the wild animals there like the bear for example.  From what we gathered from the woman who lives in the house the bear would come onto the property and eat the bird seeds.    I think they would be afraid of humans but then again I don't know.

Things are going smoothly

Well it seems that the plans on moving out of Maine state is starting to run smoothly.  I am pretty much excited but very nervous on making this move.  I don't know why I am nervous. I just don't want any fall downs like what if the woman changes her mind on the house (even though Craig said that the woman said the house was on the market for about a year), or how we are going to get the vehicle down to Vermont with the truck, wondering if we are going to get the help on loading and unloading the truck, are we going to have enough money for this transition.  I actually like the house and I would like everything to go as planned and as smoothly.  I just want this transition over and done with so we could live comfortably in our new home.  I am not looking forward to the moving and driving down there for 4 hours with the possibility of a car dolly in the back of the truck.  Its making me nervous to even think about it.  I don't even know if I could do it safely.  I don't want to mess up the vehicle.

Another worry about living in this house is that the only transportation we have is the vehicle and if something happens to this vehicle then we are screwed because we probably wouldn't have the money to repairs.  But I am trying not to think about it.  I consider myself a good driver.  Out of the 13 years I have been driving, only been in one accident and that was a ding.

We finally picked up the transfer voucher so we could be able to get the house on since we are going through this program where we could be able to get a grant through under his Section 8 even I would be under the lease as well.

I was surprised to hear why we are getting this house.  Since we cannot afford going to Ireland due to the cats (we are not going to give them away), he's preparing me to live a comfortable life for if he passes on I would have a place to live.  Tears came streaming down my face as I laid in bed thinking about it.  It was the nicest thing to hear about what someone is going to do for me.
