Moving

We are moving again!!! Yes, we have moved almost every year since we got married. The reasons behind moving have been location and money. We seem to keep finding places that will save us money on either rent or gas.

"If we move closer to work, we will spend less in gas."

"If we pay less in rent, we can pay off more debt."

"If we move again, it will be into a house."

Yes, all these quotes are things we have said. None of them have come true. We still haven't fixed our credit enough to get approved for buying a house. This next move will be the 9th place we have lived in the almost 8 years we have been married. For Jameson, who is 5, this will be the 7th place he will call home. We would really like to stop all the mayhem. Although, if you ever need tips on how to pack boxes to move, or how to pack a moving truck, we are the ones to ask. We are experienced.

We are now moving again when I am pregnant, which means that I won't be able to help much. Bummer! Yes, that was sarcastic. I don't enjoy moving. It is very stressful. What I am hopeful for, is lots of strong men to help Scott. In the past he has hurt his back, due to lifting heavy stuff.

I am very grateful for this move. Our last move relocated us across the country approx. 2000 miles. This move will be approx. 40 miles. We are moving closer to our church family. We have grown close to, and love our new family. We are rather excited about this move. Many of our things can be packed easily, due to the AMAZING organizing I did on our last move. This one will be much easier.

We are currently attending classes in "Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University". We are learning a lot, and will soon be debt free and have our finances under control. We really do want this to be our last move. We would like to purchase a house in the next few years. Yes, I know the FPU program does say not to get a loan for anything. I am praying for a miraculously large amount of cash to fall in our laps. Or, maybe we will win the lottery that we never play. Or, maybe someone will just walk up to me on the street and hand me the keys to a house. I'm sorry, I got caught up in my day dreams again. We are very excited about FPU. Things are already starting to be less stressful with our finances. We are building our emergency fund, and will soon be able to smile through any financial problems that come our way.
