As you guys know (mostly) since about May I have been working on my own - I haven't bought a business name yet and I now have the PERFECT one I am going to register VERY soon seeing as it is obvious now that I really can succeed at this.. Of course these things like all things are an inch away from NOT working but that is life. Things have been going so well that I am now able to finally put money aside, pay all my bills, fix my house, and still have money coming in. This is a major success at least at the moment. While I am at the courthouse I will also get the ball rolling on the removing rights from the ex too!
After I got canned from the last job I had one of the guys there quit to start his own business. It has taken him time to uptake his business too but now he has LOTS of projects lined up. He has always told me that he wants me to be his only designer. I went Friday to review a site for all the signage and informational displays in a new HUGE church. Inside and Out. This job is about an hour from my home and he lives in that area. An area much nicer than mine (actually he lives by Jack but I don't want to talk about THAT yet)
He asked me if I was thinking of getting an office space and he would love it if I would sublet part of his office so I could be nearby. He is a very good guy and I trust him and his family. I mean he is genuine and nice and hardworking and we share business philosophy so I think if he was asking me to take that step he really wants to keep working together on a regular basis. Also, thes type of projects we would be doing would be large and take a lot of time. He wants me closer, while still allowing me freedom to do my OWN thing. We would still be seperate.
BUT, the moving part. His place is even further than his home from my house and it would NOT make sense if I stay where I am. I have been wanting to move anyways but I am scared (failure, away from family, wishing I wasn't moving ALONE...etc) SO....I should go for it right? I need to fix some things here, talk to my current morgage carrier to see if they will morgage me again seeing I have lost credit points and don't have STEADY "real" work....but they always get there money so who knows. I am going to talk to these people after Christmas. In the meantime I will put some of this cash into my home so I can put as much down as possible and keep the payment lower. I will be spending more....almost 2x's as much. I will have to and even that it won't be what is considered expensive. I am looking forward though now and I know that Alyse needs a better neighborhood to grow in and have better schools. My sister's birthmother lives in that area and a cousin I like and have wanted to be closer to. Plus and other extended family. I will be further from my immediate family but my mom is visiting that area often when in town to take care of my Aunt.
You guys remember Rob right? Well he also lives in that area and I asked him about rentals - since he rents - in case I couldn't buy right away and his rental is in a nice area and is a little more than my current morgage. So that is a possibiliy. He suggested we just get a big house together LOL - I honestly have never even dated this guy! He is so funny!
Property taxes will be higher :( but other than that looks good and it won't be that much further from the other work I am doing (since that is about halfway between my current home and where I would be moving)
So what do you think? am I crazy? This would be such a no brainer if things had worked with Jack - I mean IDEAL. But they haven't and looks like they never will but you know what? That doesn't mean I can't do it right?? He was the biggest supporter and most help for me to do this - work alone - and I think that can carry over to this. Someone believing in you al ittle can really make you believe in yourself a lot.
Biggest benefit: My A-hole ex won't know where I am!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!
