So here's some photos of our new place as of December (missing one room)! Pros and Cons to moving:
cons to moving: leaving a back yard nearly always full of friends. Church so close we could walk to it any desired time. Borrowing a cup of sugar was never easier when you had 100 people to ask within an hundred yards. So many friends, so close. Being able to do 5 loads of laundry all at once, it's done within a day. Living on the third floor means being able to spy on people without them hardly even knowing it-muh wah haha-So much space for Eden to romp around and explore while I could sit comfortably on the bench watching and talking to FRIENDS. A car. The creamery! Neighboring my sister. Cougar Cable. clean carpets. All the toys out doors for anyone to use. Packing and unpacking and cleaning and re-cleaning. And did I mention all the FRIENDS?!
pros to moving: Triple the square footage so we don't feel like we need to spend all day outside to avoid losing sanity. Not completing the trek required to check the mail and hoist 5 loads of laundry and kids, but having a convenient home to do it in. Not having to prep for carpet cleaning everytime I turn around. A fenced backyard I can send Eden out to play! A dish washer, I think I'd say I'm even a clean person now! The yard I can putter in, I actually enjoy outdoor work. The variety of neighbors. Micah would say being able to get away with not shaving. Bigger space so I can't hear all the mischief my kiddos may be making. (Well, really what get's past a mom's ears, at least I can pretend to not hear it). New friends. A more lenient land lord that will let me put up a Christmas Tree (because ya know, the cement walls may catch on fire~!). And yes, walls not made of cinder block. Quiet neighborhood: rather than hearing EFY dances every Thursday night and Football every Saturday and construction every summer, I hear the peaceful slumber of those resting in peace in the cemetery. Carpet that my daughter can crawl around on without having to grow callouses on her knees. And did I mention the space?!! Thanks to those that have come to visit us-we would love to see more of our friends! I hope it's you who's reading it that I get to see next.
And what's post without ADORABLE picts of the kiddos?! I need to have several photos here for the family we don't get to see as often as we'd like-miss you all!

Yay yay yay! I love the pictures! The girls are getting so big, and you are in a house! dishwasher = amazing, right? and if you're looking for visitors, we'll invite ourselves over.

Look at all that space!! (yes, I know, I'm a little behind the times.) I loved seeing more pictures of your digs. It's easier to picture my Becky and her family and what life looks like. Miss you!
