The Gambler

So, we had to take a chance on something yesterday. I had to gamble with the roof over our head. See, we had until June 1 to decide to continue in our lease or to NOT continue with the lease. Our landlords raised the rent and we had 60 days to decide if we wanted to stay or to continue in our original lease with the new rent.

Jamie doesn't fly out until this coming Wednesday to finalize things with his new company. We have no idea of the time line of our move. He'll be meeting with a relocation specialist and looking for housing. They'll be discussing moving expenses etc.

We made the decision to go ahead and decline to continue the lease with the rental increase. This allows us to get out of our lease free and clear. The problem is that there are still so many things that could go wrong. Nothing is written in stone with the new job or the relocation. And now we have until July 15th to get our behinds out of this house. It was a gamble. We may be scrambling for a place to live and loading our stuff into storage.

It makes for an interesting dilemma. It makes my stomach hurt. I'm so NOT a gambler.
