Great News!!

So we have been looking for a house for a long time - We rent here and it has been great but 1.) we are just throwing our money away, 2.) we live on a VERY busy highway and have lost pets :( The kids cannot just go play in the yard 3.) we cannot do anything here to improve the place. 4.) we live on everyones way to town and people just stop in ALL THE time. I can go on and on.

Well - I finally got fed up and stopped looking a few weeks ago. We have a limited budget (one income, 7 kids) I would rather move closer to the church we want to go to. The only problem is Johns job. He works for the highway department and his highway barn is only 5.5 miles from our house. If we moved to the area where we have been looking he would have to drive 120 miles a day for a while....Like up to 2 to 5 years! Well we found out for the head of human resources that they are opening up transfers again starting in January thru March 2013!! That means only 5 - 7 months of driving!! We can handle the extra gas that long!!*****Update**** Just found out that it may only be about 6 weeks or so!

Now we just need to find a little running car.....

Oh and did I mention we found the house, just by chance.....Its AWESOME! Pictures coming soon but heres a few of the out buildings....

  2. Wonderful! So happy for you all and love the look of the new barn and such! We are actually in a pretty similar situation. Just getting our first home after 6 years of searching and hubby will be closer to work and will not always be on the road and so tired by Fridays. Giving thanks! Thank you for sharing and I hope to see updates on the progress. So excited for you!!! Love Amy
