We Must Have Some Gypsy Blood in Us

At the beginning of the year, like most people do, Reed and I made some goals. Here is a rough list of our goals:

1. Have a baby
2.  Move into a home.
3. Get a new to us car.
4. Get ourselves out of debt.
5. Work together at all of these things. :)

Luckily #1 kinda just happened and everything stayed okay with it (so far so good!) so that was checked off our list.
#2 was where we just weren't sure what to do. We have a home in Nampa that we have been renting for 3 years to the same family. That home is no bigger than our current space, and if we had our druthers we'd like to sell it and buy something bigger. Sadly, the more we looked at the housing market and the work it would likely take to get our home ready to sell, we knew it wouldn't be helping us with our #4 goal of getting out of debt. In fact, we would likely be going into MORE debt. We talked our way around and over and under this problem until one day, like lightning, after attesting that I would NOT be moving our family again anywhere, that is exactly what we are doing and exactly what feels right. We are moving back to our home in Nampa. And at least we'll have a lovely fenced in backyard and a garage to add a little to our space.  So that's #2 marked off of our list.
Still going to be working on #3 probably when we move to Nampa, and with all the moving and having babies, buying a van and fixing up our house so we can hopefully sell it sometime in the future, well, we're just going to keep on working on #4. Little by little. We'll get there.

So here's our announcement! We are officially moving back to Nampa, Idaho as of May of this year. Go us!
