THE WAITING GAME. WE ARE NOW CURRENTLY WAITING ON NEWS IF WE WILL TRANSFER BACK TO WASHIGNTON STATE. MY FIANCE WORKS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEPT. OF TREASURY. WE HATE CALIFORNIA. NOT WORTH LIVING HERE TO BE MISERABLE. VERY FEW THINGS WE LIKE HERE. WE JUST WANT TO BUT A HOUSE AND SETTLE DOWN. TIRED OF MOVING AWAY FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT WE LOVE. I JUST CAN'T FATHOM WHY PEOPLE WOULD BUY A SHACK IN CALI FOR HALF MILLION AND BE IN DEBT THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BAY AREA ECONOMICS! YOU ONLY PAY FOR THE SUNSHINE! I'D RATHER HAVE ALL 4 SEASONS.
THERE WERE FIVE OPTIONS IN WASHINGTON FOR US: SEATTLE, BELLEVUE, KENNEWICK, TACOMA, AND EVERETT. WE HOPE FOR KENNEWICK. CLOSER TO SEE FAMILY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT THE CITY OF SPOKANE THAT WE WANTED. PUT US CLOSER. FOR MY FIANCE TO BE 40YRS OLD NEXT YEAR, WE WANT TO SETTLE DOWN AND DO FERTILITY TREATMENTS. WE LIKE STABILITY. I'M TIRED OF PAYING $1000 FOR LIKE 800 SQ FT OF NOTHING FOR 1 BDRM. A BRAND NEW HOME IN WA WOULD BE LIKE 4 BDRM, 2BA, GARAGE, YARD, ETC FOR LIKE $199K. WE DIDN'T GET TRANSFERRED LAST TIME SO FINGERS ARE CROSSED THIS TIME. I STILL HAVE A LOT OF BOXES STILL PACKED AND READY TO GO! GET ME OUT OF HERE.
