We Moved! - November 27, 2011

Sunday - November 27, 2011

We had all our friends and Family come and help us move yesterday.  This house is much smaller than our old house, so we had to put a lot of stuff in a storage unit.  That will be different.

Our home in Tremonton was not bad. I had a hard time leaving it, because of all the fond memories that we created there. We always planned on that home being a starter home for us, but then we got stuck there. The house was old and falling apart. It was a bit of a money pit. In October, we woke up in the morning to a wet floor and cracked tiles. The refrigerator had a slow leak in the back. Who knows how long it had been leaking. The wood under the tile was soaked and started to expand, that's when all the tiles broke. That was the straw that broke the camels back! That's when we said, "what are we doing here?" Since we moved in the routine has gone like this: Something breaks, we go into debt to fix it, we get the debt paid off (or we're almost out of debt) when something breaks again. It has been a losing battle to keep a house that we never really planned to stay in for that long. So we did it! We moved. We plan to rent until Roger finishes school. Now that we are out of that house, I no longer feel stuck here in Tremonton. It clicked in our brains about 2 weeks ago, that we can finally get away from this place. So now we are trying to find Roger a new job. We are ready to live closer to family.
