Bless Your Heart

Some of you have asked about where we’re moving. We’re looking at 2 neighborhoods in a small town just south of here. It’s just over the state line, yet only 5 minutes away. What that means is lower property taxes and we can just about double the size of our house without our mortage payment increasing by tii much thanks to lower interest rates and less inflated housing costs. We’re getting in to this town just before it really takes off I can tell. I know some of you are thinking it’s crazy to move just 16 months after buying our first home, but rates have dropped by 2% and doesn’t it just make sense to go ahead and buy the big house now instead of in 5 years as originally planned and pay 2% more in interest? I’m going to miss our sweet little house. We’ve put a lot into it. And it has the coolest back yard and den/kitchen ever. But we can’t fit more than 1 child in the house we have now and I’d like at least 2.

J’s been bringing home boxes and we’ve been trying to use all the food in the cupboards and freezer before we move and buying as little as possible. This is making for some interesting meals. And I’m sure there’s more to come! Last night I made spaghetti, but we were out of spaghetti pasta so it was spaghetti sauce with a little penne and some elbow macaroni. I wonder what he’ll think of my cooking when we get down to eating broccoli, hamburger patties, tortillas, and popsicles for dinner?
