Movin' On Out

Some people think that my husband and I are crazy for moving as much as we do, as if we love it or something.

We don't like moving as much as we have, believe me. 

In fact, this last December we thought that it would be our last move until we graduated. 

With an apartment that provides a spacious backyard, a HUGE pantry, a washer and dryer and so much space, we thought we were set!

Then a couple things happened: 
1. My job fell through leaving us on one income.
2. The job I got to replace the one that fell through gave me such bad anxiety that I was throwing up acid on a regular basis which was making my IBS and GERD flare up like nobody's business. So, bye-bye job. One income again.
3. We realized that while we could afford the place we are in, it wasn't exactly living within our means. We desire to live within our means and not on the highest boundaries of them. Council given by Elder Bednar which can be viewed here is what stirred us to action.

Do to finances, health and ecclesiastical guidance, we decided that downsizing would be our best option. It will also allow for us to pay off debts, build up our saving account and if we stay on track, get a puppy. 

 A mini goldendoodle to be exact:

So, no, we don't love moving. However, we know that the Lord has blessed us and that we are doing what is best for us in the long run. (And, by golly, I want that puppy SO BAD!)

  1. That's a pretty adorable puppy. Definitely a legitimate reason to move.
