Actually, that is what we did for most of our things when we moved in July. It was quite awful. If, hypothetically, we were going to move to the pretty house, Billy would not even put one box in the car until every damned thing was packed up.

There are many reasons why we can’t buy the pretty house. Most of them involve money and convincing Billy. The convincing part could be done by his aunt who is a Realtor, but to go behind Billy’s back to gain her support would be a dastardly unfair thing to do. Realistically, someone else will buy the pretty house, and I will have to wait until we are more financially stable to find us another pretty house we can actually have.
