First I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to help spread the word around for me.

Sadly it would seem we either waited too late to start looking or time just wasn't on our side. My parents(who "own" the house but were gonna put it in m name if I lived in it for 2 years) decided with all the financial trouble I'd been having with the house, my van, recently the bills and all the debt I've had to get into to get what problems I could fixed, that it would be best to just sell the house.

Though I did struggle with them on the subject of "Just gives us a little more time" they ultimately won. I do understand where they are coming, they don't wanna see their child suffering, I just really wanted to make this work.

Dunno when the move will be, my parents and brother wanna come up help me pack but gotta make sure they all have the money/time to do so. So I'll either be leaving just before Christmas or around the beginning of January.


As much as I enjoyed living in Toledo I can't say my time here will be put into the "happy" section of my memories. Almost as soon as we got to the house the trouble started, first we discovered that it was not properly emptied and was still full with a lot of stuff, We found out the insulation was bad because it would be slightly warm outside but boiling hot inside(I mean pills melting together hot), we also discovered that a pipe in the bathroom was leaking and had caused the kitchen ceiling to cave in, the house was full of old wiring(kitchen is the only room with 3 prong outlets), the place was roach infested, there was no fridge/ac unit/stove/washer/dryer in the house that were suppose to be, the bed rooms were completely packed with boxes so we didn't even have somewhere to rest after the 16-20hr drive from Arkansas. 2 weeks later I find my transfer never went through so I'd have to start job hunting.
And that was just the day we arrived, we spent months getting the house cleaned up and emptied of the old crap, honestly cannot say how many trash bags we went through I just remember the stack getting so high.
Then after afew months just when we think thins are starting to settle my van breaks down, costs me $1,000 to get fixed, month later it break down again and another $1,000 to fix it. not even a month after it breaks again, fixed for free but still tearing my hair out. Had to go into debt to get those repairs done because it took me 2 months to get work and didn't have the money needed.
then the front axle to the van breaks just after I fill it up with gas(literally while I was still at the gas station).
then the transmission AND PCM go out so I had to start taking the bus to work, I would get about 5hrs less sleep aday taking the bus since I'd have to take the 16, ride all the way to the line, pop on the 11, ride it to the Holiday Inn and walk a mile and a half the rest of the way. i decided to get a bike to make the walking portion of the trip shorter, unfortunately I forgot 1 crucial detail...it'd been almost 20years since the last time I rode a bike, my legs were on fire.
Shortly after that I found out my van wasn't broken it was just acting up.

All this in the span of 1 year.

I know most people would say it is better that I live like I am now but I really did want to make this work.
