WHERE WE LIVE

I thought I was pretty good at making the big decisions in my life. I have definitely made some bad decisions in the past, and I'm hoping that this was a good one. We have lived in this house for twelve years. It's the only home Christine knows. The girls (especially Ashley) do not want to move. Two of my friends have told me that maybe it would be better if we lived closer to my mom. My mom would love that, but we love where we live. It's not that I'm so attached to the house, it's more about the location. Our house is OLD, and it has a lot of problems that are not worth fixing. We don't live in a dump, but it is old. The house has no real value. The land has the value. We have had a few close calls when it comes to the wiring starting fires. Every time it was an outlet that started sparking and smoking. Before any smoke was visible you could smell the hot wiring. The house has the old aluminum wiring which is something they quit using years ago for a good reason. I thank God that we were home every time to stop the house from catching on fire. Our house is around 1,300 sq. feet and we have six smoke alarms for that reason. I was the one that made a big decision about our house in the past. I feel like I made the right decision, and I was almost certain that we would have to move in the future when I made that decision. I have been praying about it a lot, and God knows that all I want is what's best for my girls. I have faith and God will be with us every step of the way. Have a good day
