Changes Changes

Lots of changes going on around here!

First of all, we are moving at the end of this week! Our landlords decided they wanted to move back into their home which was completely unexpected for us.  We were hoping to stay another year and then buy something. So the month of April was full of house hunting. We thought we would go ahead and try to buy and after investing a ton of time got to the point where no one would give us a loan because Jared's job switched from "base plus commission" to "base plus bonus". Bummer because it would be cheaper monthly if we could buy.  Oh well. So then we started looking at rentals and had a little sticker shock. We have been getting such a great deal on the place we are in now. Long story short, we found a nice home on the other side of the neighborhood we are currently living in. The company has been kind of challenging to work with but aside from that there is plenty of space and a yard.  They are redoing a bunch of stuff, painting everything a color we like, refinishing the floors and new carpet.  They are even adding in a few things we requested so all in all it should be great.
The other even bigger news is that we are expecting a baby at the end of December! This was a complete shock to us and it has taken me a while to process! 
In addition, Jared was promoted to District Sales Manager in March which is great and a much more fulfilling role for him! Last year as a salesperson he was one of the top performers so he and I got to go to Miami where they seriously spoiled us rotten!
We have had a lot going on this year and the rest of the year promises to be full of much more adventure!
I will try to do a better job of keeping everyone posted and updated.... We will see how I actually do :)

  1. I can totally relate to the shock of a new baby. So happy for you, though. It took me a long time to get excited, but I know I won't regret it. God is good and knows what He is doing.
