I'm a financial planner, mom, and have rental houses...and have moved a few times in the last few years. I would suggest you price the house to sell and be done with it. We have several rental properties and it's a huge headache. You would have to use a property management company if you live that far away, so that would cost you 10% of the rent, and then other fees on top of that. Just my opinion. We considered the same thing when we moved last time with the bad housing market, but there is a price on peace of mind and not having to stress about people not taking care of your house. Most likely you will spend a lot fixing things, replacing carpet, painting, etc to get it ready to sell once the renters move out. It's just not worth the headache. You have enough on your plate! I would also think about renting in CA for a while until you know so you are not having to sell (and maybe lose money) a few years down the road. Good luck.Tom and Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114382553236305198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212485478080287079.post-39928403953060210562011-07-09T23:33:53.725-06:002011-07-09T23:33:53.725-06:00I assume you are talking about the iPad issue.

I am clinging to that thought as I too wonder how we are going to do certain things as our girl gets bigger. I also agree with us easing in as another person posted. We are super active and have maintained that level with our girl, so somehow it will work.<br /><br />Dannette (mom who stumbled across your blog and love it)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212485478080287079.post-60930461422210692222011-07-08T11:38:55.535-06:002011-07-08T11:38:55.535-06:00Thinking of you.

I get so anxious when I think about how we'll be able to do certain things when Gavin gets bigger! I suppose we will just ease into it, and we will be able to handle it all when it comes at us one day at a time.....just like we've accepted and learned naturally how to do everything the last 5 years! But, thinking of carrying Gavin and changing him.....especially when we are out, that is an overwhelming thought!<br /><br />One blessing that I have tried to focus on is the fact that Gavin and Jax don't grow very quickly! And, the fact that they have Ds pretty much assures us that they will be shorter in stature.....try to focus on these facts! Imagine if our boys grew as fast as our other children?! This is a huge blessing!<br /><br />Hope you make it back to Utah safely and all goes well!

I think it's hard now getting the boy places with the equipment, but at least I can still lift him.

(Okay, I still do sometimes;-) I just try not to think about it (even when school tries to make me think about it!) too far ahead. I know that I will be given grace as I need it and looking back over 18 years, I am amazed how we have adjusted and tweaked things to ensure Davin is with us. Things do change, but you will find a way. You love that boy and you are doing a great job being his Mom:-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284719977215533338noreply@blogger.com
