Two months in the rental...

We have lived in the rental house for two months now.  I was thinking last night that it could be two or even four more months before we move out of here.  Ugh.  This is a nice house and we are blessed to have it, but I think we are getting tired of living in someone else's house. That is what the rental is becoming more and more like each day.  Lori and I, on separate occasions, have driven back to Richmond Hill in the last week and parked by our lot.  She said that she wanted to just go home when she turned into the neighborhood and I felt the same way when I made the turn off Sherman Drive.  I did not want to leave the neighborhood and drive back to the rental.  Unfortunately we have no choice in that matter. 

It seems that two of the three accused of blowing up our neighborhood have filed for a change of venue for their trial.  That is their right and they should try to get that to happen.  I have read the Prosecutor's response to the Court and know that there is a snowball's chance they will get it.  We asked about that probability when we met with her and she shrugged it off and said there will be very little chance of that.  I think they should ask for a change, but not get it.  They should have no choice in that matter.

We have begun to think seriously about buying a house, the internet searches have begun. It is frustrating because there are so few we are interested in that are for sale at this time.  It may be until Spring before people put their house up for sale.  Waiting for Spring will be hard.  We are all ready to have our own house again and fill it with our own things we like instead of things provided for us. 

Roncalli's Update magazine contained excerpts from this blog in the latest edition.  I have talked to many who read it and were very nice in their comments. I hope the latest few entries aren't too whiny, but I wanted to write what I am feeling.  Frustrated, anxious, resigned, angry are a few emotions. I used to be excited to come home after work or from a day out and relax in our home. Coming back to the rental is not as good.  Coming home to Lori and the girls makes up for the feeling of walking into the rental, though.  I know this is temporary, but it is permanent right now and that doesn't look like it will change for a few months.
