(And also the reason I've found this wonderful site!)

I'm still very new here, just joined up yesterday. But I wanted to post here to get everything off my chest. So thank you in advance for listening >.<

I've ran my mouth off about it for a bit in each forum whilst talking to some amazing people, but for those of you who don't know I'm moving soon. Moving more or less by force. This will be long and I'm sorry XD

About my fiance

I was going to college when I met my fiance. I live in PA right now and he lived in Las Vegas, NV. We met in WoW (World of warcraft) We spoke often, flirted, did the whole webcam thing, and then finally he decided he couldn't take it anymore and flew out here to spend a week with me. And then I flew out to vegas on spring break to spend a week with him. At the end of that week he flew back with me and stayed here. Now while I was finishing school my parents let me move in with them + my fiance as well.

My parents rent this house were living in from my great grandmother, my mother's grandmother, who's currently 97. We've lived here for 21 years now (I will be 23 this June) But the rent has been going to my grandmother for her to take care of my great grandmother's bills since she's very old and starting to forget things. Well it has (understandably) gotten very hard for my grandmother and great aunt to take care of their 97 year old mother, and they wanted/needed money to pay for her care. This was a bit hard for me and my father to understand because my grandmother doesn't work because she is married to a lawyer, in a big fancy house and whatnot. Respectively my great aunt doesn't work because she's married to a cardiologist and lives in a big fancy...yadda yadda yadda.

The solution they came too? Sell the house off that my parents and I are renting from them.

...

My great aunt thinks out here in PA is some land, gold mine of money, and thinks they will get alll this money for the house. What they do not understand is that the house is incredibly old and in desperate need of repair. I cannot stress that enough. BUT the realtor told them that the house would take a long time to sell and would barely go for anything because of the horrible state it was in.

More on the house:

This house has always been old and falling apart, it was built in the 1950's I believe. It has a serious mold problem, the basement has sank a bit, it has a horrible draft, the walls are falling apart (not too bad though) and are dirty. Oh and the paint on the outside of the house is lead. Yup.

My father is a self employed contractor and my mother just now has a bachelor's degree and is working toward her law degree (she's incredibly intelligent) but before that she has a job as a receptionist in a chiropractor's office and after that worked with her father in his store. They had me at 19 & 20. Money has always been tight and there was never enough time or money to fix the house themselves. And the landlords (grandmother) didn't care. Over the years we've replaced a 6000$ boiler, and had hollow trees taken down around the house that were a hazard. Redid the bathroom + repainted the entire thing. This has been all under the impression that were were renting this house to one day own it. Apparently not. Back to the heart of the story

Well, the house went up on the market asap since it was going to take a long time to sell. This was mid April? about? The next couples days, the first two people were coming to look at the house. The next day, the house was sold.

Everyone was absolutely shocked. It was bought up by the first man that looked at it, a contractor, who bought it as a "fixer-upper." For his son + his girlfriend.

(I wish I had that kind of money!!!!)

To add insult to injury the guy asked the realtor + my grandmother to have us out by May 18th, a month from that day. And my mother put her foot down and said absolutely not. "We both work full time and have an entire house of belongings to move. You expect us to clear out the house, find somewhere else to live and come up with that money in a month? On top of working all day. You're out of your minds." This was good on her part! So the date got pushed back to June 1st, which really wasn't much better. So here we are desperately moving everything out of the house!

My parents found a place after searching the entire month of May. She's not talking to her mother, or her sister. And she's definitely never speaking to her aunt ever again. And I honestly don't blame her. For lack of a better word my great aunt, is a soul sucking, greedy... well many things. All in all, my great aunt + grandmother + even the realtor have been mean, pissy and incredibly rude. And my grandmother and great aunt have completely refused to help my mother out in any way shape or form. So my poor mom has been upset, and stressed and really we all feel betrayed by this. And my father has been angry 24/7 (as have I.)

During this OF COURSE, my fiance's company shuts down and instead of originally moving up to rhode island for the company, we now had no where to live and no job.

In January, my fiance got a job working at 38 studios, they were going to hire him on for the mmo they were working on called copernicus. His title was Quest and Dungeon design lead. He emailed Curt Schilling back and forth daily, they were good friends. Well he was to start in July 23rd. Now any old person with googled can go find that mess. Over the last month, the shit hit the fan SO BADLY, that 38studios shut their doors. No more job. T.T

My fiance's father, offered his son a higher paying job for him back in their hometown of Las vegas, before 38 studios had officially shut their doors. So thank god there was a job for him..but now this requires us to move cross country in a uhaul. (Flying is out of the question because of all our junk + our ratties)

Now I'm stuck borrowing some money from my grandparents (father's side) cause who knew a uhaul costs 2500$ from PA to Vegas. x.x

-Deep breath- SO, I've had to move all of my junk + some of my parents stuff into two different storage units. In a very very humind, no air conditioned house. Staying with my dad's parents for three weeks so I can stay in PA for my birthday with my family, on June 20th, then the day or two after, packing up a 2500$ uhaul from the storage unit. Driving 3.5 - 4 days across the country with 5 rats in tow, staying in motels at night, just to get to vegas to unload everything from the truck into our apartment...

I've been laying wide awake in bed for the last week, until 4am, 5am panicking.

I'm worried about the rats stressing out and fighting, or hurting each other. I'm worried about money. Making the absurdly long drive, not knowing the way. Affording food + motels + gas. Getting to vegas without having an accident, getting a ticket or having a heart attack XD Pretty much anything that will come to mind...I'm having a hard time calming down..

And that is my rant >.< Thank you so much for listening and I'm so so sorry that it's so horribly long!!!
