Moving!

Well, it turns out that we will be moving. We don't know exactly when other than it will be soon and we don't know where. We don't know if we're moving to another place in Idaho Falls (hopefully not) or if we will be moving to Washington State.

Our apartment building has forclosed and we are at a loss of what to do. The owner of this building of four units hasn't paid his mortgage since April. We moved in here in April and we've been paying $650 per month. It's kind of frustrating knowing that he never paid his mortgage even though everyone in this building has been paying him. It also turns out that we lose our deposit because of the foreclosure. Apparently renters of forclosed properties don't have rights. I am extremely frustrated about this.

It doesn't help that Nick's job is in limbo right now and I don't know from day to day if it is his last. His employer has a thing against men and LDS people, in other words- she hates Nick. They've cut his hours down from 40+ to 35 or less. They also took away his payments for doing music appreciation every Wednesday. That is $200 he used to get just for doing that. They also took his supervisor position away from him and they are doing everything they can to push him out of his job. It seriously ticks me off!!! They don't pay into unemployment so they don't fire people. This is what they do to people they want to get rid of. They (SHE) pushes the person into quitting. The next thing coming will probably be a pay cut. We are barely handling what they've already done to us. Anything more and I will be forced to get a job. Nick has been applying for about 10-20 jobs per week in Washington, but so far we haven't had any luck. My husband is a great man and he doesn't deserve this.
Well, this has turned into quite the negative post, but I really am trying to stay positive about things. I know that things will work out for us in due time we just have to press forward and be faithful. It's just hard not having a plan and know what's going to happen next. Thanks for reading. I'll keep you updated.

I didn't realize the implications of the housing problems on renters. We're renting here in Texas too and it makes me question our security a little. Good luck with the job hunt. What does Nick do exactly? Tyler has some contacts up in WA for a variety of reasons. I'll have him keep an eye out.
