Potentially homeless
Remember how I said we were moving to Mission? I lied. Kindof. I came home from holidays (without my family) today to get the message from our potential landlords that the suite is now unavailable. This came as a surprise and at that same time it was expected. When we agreed to move in it was under the stipulation that we understood that their daughter was going to be building a house and in meantime she may need a place to stay. Understandably, family comes before outsiders. We talked it over and decided we would take the risk. Little did we know that their house would sell 3 days after being on the market. Soooo...we are kind of in a pickle now. We have a few options.
1. Move into the place and live there until Oct.31st. This option probably won't happen.
2. Stay in the suite we are currently in. The only problem with that is we have given our notice and one of our landlords' (we have 3 architects working in the upper part of the house) sons may be moving in. The suite in Mission will be available again once the new house is built which will be around December.
3. Find a different place in Mission.
Oh sweet bliss. Nonetheless, we are in a tough spot. If we aren't able to stay, we would understand seeing we gave them our notice and the suite is fair game. That would really suck though. Moving in to a place to move out again in a few months really sucks. And because it will be ready sometime in Dec, the wait may be merited. We are apprehensive to find a different place just because this place is so sweet and we can trust the landlords.
I think the biggest challenge is just to know whether or not we should get out to mission right away or if staying where we are will be okay for the first 4 months. Bek and my fears are probably quite different - her's having to do with the house, mine having to do with the church plant. I mean, being homeless isn't that appealing but neither is jeopordizing the momentum for the church plant. These first 4 months are critical for us to begin to form a foundation for the launch in January. We'll keep you posted.
