We have moved! After some discussion and pro-con weighing, we decided to sell our house and move to something cheaper. We figured that we could save about $1000 on our mortgage payment with a cheaper house, and hopefully find one that didn’t have as many extra costs associated with it.

Well, we found a great house that has almost the same square footage as the old one (counting the finished basement, it’s actually bigger), and we will be settled in by Thanksgiving. There is much work to be done. We have started replacing the flooring, and will eventually completely redo the kitchen. It’s a work in progress, but it’s one we’re excited about!
