After much inquiry here's the deal with yet another move! Matt found himself down a totally random road by "coincidence" and saw a lovely house that he though would work for us. Called on it and long story short- we moved again! This place is awesome and we feel like Heavenly Father really blessed us.
Now I feel really bad even talking about moving from the farmhouse, because I truly am grateful to just have a roof over our heads and it was always going to just be temporary until we could sell our house. But it did have some funny old house "charm" if you will. I think with a house that old and not really updated tons, you're going to have some funny things like no heating in the upstairs at all. The original 1932 bathtub completely worn through the enamel. Only 1 outlet in the kitchen, behind the fridge. We had extension chords running everywhere and the outlets were really sensitive- the breakers would trip ever 5 min! No air conditioning! No dishwasher (Cy eats ever 5 min so you can imagine), our new house just works a lot better for a family of 7.
We feel like it was meant to be, if we hadn't been in the farmhouse month to month, we couldn't have gotten into this new place! Plus, they want to sell when the market recovers, and we want to buy when the market recovers and we can sell our Eagle Mountain house. Maybe timing will work out perfectly again!
Anyway- we are loving Indiana. Especially me with all the SNOW!! This is what we woke up to the other day and this was just the beginning, it snowed all day long. No School!

Crazy! Sounds like it was all meant to be! I want to see pictures of the new house! As much as I dont want you to sell the Eagle Mountain house, it would be ok cuz then if you ever moved back you could move to our neighborhood! You guys are the coolest!
Holy crap! Kenneth so misses those kind of snow storms from the Midwest. I do not. It is cool that school gets canceled more often though.
I'm glad you have a nicer house.
Congrats on your upgrade - hope it works out for your family!! Fun snow pics!
