New Home

Ever since Matt and I got married we have moved quite a bit. In fact we've moved so much that I can't even tell you how many times we've moved. I can tell you that it's been at least 10. I've since lost track. The longest that we have ever stayed in 1 place is 1 year and 1 month. Now that our 1 year lease is up, we are again looking for a place to live.

We do love were we are at. The location is perfect, it's a great family neighborhood with lots of parks for the kids, work is not too far away, the ward is great and the church is in our subdivision just around the corner from our house. So why are we thinking about moving? We are looking for a rent to own house so we can finally settle. McKenzie will be in kindergarten next year and we don't want to have her change schools all the time. We've been looking online at some possibilities and there's a lot of rent to own homes the same amount that we are paying for rent. Plus a portion of the rent goes towards a down payment.

We would just buy again, but we have to wait at least another year. With Matt having a commission only job, we have to show at least 2 years of income with the company. We're taking it kind of slow, so we don't get stuck with something we don't like or want. We'll see what happens.

Well, that would have been nice!I can't imagine moving that much. I have had anxiety for over a year about selling this house and we still haven't put it up for sale yet. I just stress about trying to keep in clean 24-7. We so need a bigger place though. Ahhh!
