I told you we had a lot of news to catch up on! We have been kind of looking for a house to buy or at least a bigger apartment in Morgan (preferrably before the baby arrives). But all the house here have been out of our price range and so we kind of gave up for a while. Well, a few weeks ago, we saw this house in the paper to rent, or to take over the payments to buy, so we decided to check it out just to see if it was even an option for us. It is an older house, but it had some remodel done on the inside. So it wasn't one that we would have to fix up before we could move in. It was actually in better shape and had more space than most of the houses that we had looked at in Ogden. So we were all excited, then frustrated because we didn't see how we could afford it - really. So, we did the math and tried to figure out how much I would need to work (substituting) to be able to afford it. Then Josh went to his boss to ask if he could come in during the evening about once a week so that I could work during that day. He told him that we were trying to get into a bigger place and this is what we had figured out. His boss said he would rather pay Josh what he needs to be able to afford the house...and he was very accommodating. Now we can afford it with Josh's job alone. I'm still going to sub now and then (we'll see what happens when the baby comes) because I think it's a good way to keep my skills up without having to work full time with the kids. The whole situation just worked out perfectly and very quick! With in 1 1/2 weeks we went from not even thinking about moving (in the near future) to being completely moved into our new house! The girls really love it too and it is so nice to have more space. :)The timing couldn't have been more perfect!
