Sweet Freedom

31. Yes, I think so

May 2013

I stayed in this house after my divorce for my daughter. It was the only home she knew and all her friends were here. I didn't want to disrupt her stability.

I never wanted to live in this house -- my ex wanted it -- and had I been single after the divorce, I would have moved. I've wanted to move for a couple years.

This year, my daughter was accepted into a magnet highs school (my alma mater. 1400 kids auditioned, only 200 made it), so it makes sense for us to be closer to my work and her school.

Selling the house completely fell into place. Next week, I just have to find a place to live. There isn't much available, but I'm hoping someone lists a new property this weekend!

I'm really excited.
