Mood:

So we finally are moved!! New state and new house but close to family to help us survive. I finally got the courage to tell my father and stepmother that we filed BK. I know that sounds odd but I worry about what they think even at my age. My mother has known and my sisters know. I told my father I thought he might be disappointed in me. They were not and they completely understood...or so they told me. It was a bit of a relief and I am now glad I no longer have to have a secret.

So we rented a house 3 weeks ago from a friend of our family. Good thing because I doubt anyone else would rent to us after just filing. The Master bed and bath are unfinished. We negotiated low rent in exchange for labor to finish the upstairs. The landlord will buy materials and we finish. Everything is roughed in and sheet rocked so it is just finish work, flooring and fixtures in the bath. I am giving him our materials estimate for bathroom flooring and the bedroom closet rods and doors tomorrow. My father is going to help me finish it. We signed a year lease so the sooner I finish the sooner I get to live in a nice house for cheap.
