So our current house has a black mold, mildew from some weird leak under the floor, issue... I think it is making my family sick. The landlord really does not seem willing to fix any problems... we are looking at yet another summer of $500 electric bills due to the home's inefficiency. (even with the bill, it is still as hot as a Nevada desert in the middle of august at 12 noon wearing all black standing in the middle of an asphalt parking lot.
SO we have been casually checking out a few places in the paper, and today we found something great. It is in a great neighborhood, great yard, great garage, great kitchen.. well adequate kitchen.. for me it can't be a great kitchen unless it is as big as the living room with more cabinet and counter space than can be possibly used even by Martha Stuart herself. ... the only thing is the bedrooms are a bit smaller than our current bedrooms, the walls desperately need to be painted (Im not a fan of naked cherubs all over my living room walls.... ), and the carpet is dirty.
The rent is a little more than what we pay now... but do-able... the biggest thing is that the realtor said the electric runs about $80 a month... that more than makes up for the cost of moving and the tiny bit higher rent...
Now... I hate moving.. and I mean I HATE moving... it is a miserable pain in my rear end, makes me cranky, causes arguments, loses sleep, irks me to the depths of my soul kindof thing... but I wonder if it is for the best... The new house is in a really cute little neighborhood.. really nice... honest to goodness neighbors... place where my kids could ride bikes and trick-or-treat... not to mention the huge tree in the front yard that would look awesome with Christmas lights (not a reason to move, but something I can envision)
what should we do......

MOVE! It's God's sign telling you to take the initiative. The new neighborhood sounds great. What's stopping you? Have a moving party. Invite friends over, offer ice tea, beer or whatever. It will be great!
