Welp, we got waylaid in this move, but if we’re staying in the States, Minneapolis area is back on.
Gonna make another trip back there, hopefully this summer or fall and get the lay of the land. I think we’ll stick with open houses this time as I don’t want to waste a realtor’s time and I have zero idea about the timeline we’re on.
But yeah… with this ruling about to be formally announced in June and then all the fucker that’s gonna come from it… we’re ready to gtfo.
We’re doing a refi now to eliminate our debt and from there, we’ll see, but we’ll be a ton less encumbered and better able to make moves if something really amazing comes available.
Also not moving with the same crew. Oldest daughter is married and they like North Carolina. I dunno how this ruling will change their outlook. They live with my youngest son and his partner (no definitions and that’s fine) and they are looking at Oregon.
My youngest wants to be in Minneapolis as they are non-binary queer and pagan and it’s apparently a very LGBT+ and pagan friendly town from their research… among the friendliest, actually.
They, along with my eldest son, my soon to be daughter in law and our two grandchildren live with us now.
I know my youngest would come with us, but I do not know if my son, DIL and grand babies will want to move north. The economics may not allow them to stay and we’re not wanting to stay just for their preference. She’s a born and raised Floridian and has tons of family in FL and SC and I don’t think ultimately she wants to move, but again… the economics…
we’ll see how it all shakes out, but at this point, unless something drastic happens, it’s a matter of when, not if we move.
There’s an off-chance an international move is on the table, but I honestly can’t see it. The moment the wife realizes we’d be an ocean away from kids and grandkids, she’ll nix the idea…
Anyway, stay tuned… I’m sure there’s more to come in this dramedy…
