Ok so here goes the thought process behind our move. :) We moved to Fairfield exactly 6 years ago.....and while in many ways it was a good thing for us....socially speaking, I was about ruined. Most BDSM events are in San Francisco or San Jose.....which are a good hour or more drive for me. My 'friends' were thrilled to see me at parties, but very few people wanted to make the trek up here to spend time with me. So I pretty much limited my self to going to parties a few times a month. Munches & classes were just not practical for me to get to. Rik & I have been talking about getting back to the Bay Area for a long time now. So....forward to Feburary....his company makes it official....everyone goes to Reno, or they get laid off. So we opted for the lay-off, which was on July 2. Around May, we started to seriously talk about relocating before 2005.....agreeing that we'd wait until Rik found another job. After thinking about it, I figured...fuck, why wait? We've got stellar credit, a good income history, and with Rik not working, we'd actually be able to do a move now, since he'd be home to do a lot of the work. Plus, moving closer to San Jose & san Francisco gives Rik a much larger area to look for work in. So....about 3 weeks ago, we decided to go for it, and we rented a storage unit & started packing. Since then, we've been working our butts off, we've got about 1/2 of our possessions packed & in storage and with Vicki's help last weekend, we got quite a bit of the cleaning & some minor repair work done. Last week, we got pre-approved for a $450,000.00 loan, and today the prospective buyer came over & checked the place out. He's taking it 'as-is'(meaning we don't have to worry about new carpet or paint) for $310,000.00....and considering we paid $102,000.00 for it 6 years ago....that's a damn good profit. The guy buying it is a real estate appraiser & broker (I met him at work), so now he is helping us to find a new home to buy. Side note - My birthday is July 27. At the moment, Rik & I are planning on going to the Renaissance Faire at Lake Stafford Park on the 31st to celebrate.....but depending on how this moving business goes, that might not happen. So, I'm celebrating early, this weekend at KK (those in the know, know). This is the last weekend that I can guarantee I'm free for. Everything else, until we move, is just going to be played by ear. OK....done!
