Where shall we live???

We are staying with Sam's brother, Caleb, and his wife Melissa. We have no idea what is going to happen with financial aid and it sounds like we will lose unemployment as soon as he starts school. So Sam thinks he has found us free housing.
Caleb's basement is unfinished. It seems to be the trend here. Built HUGE houses and never finish the basement. Sam contacted the owner of the house and said he would finish it for cost, labor free if we could live in it for free as long as we needed.
It will be a blessing for us, but very hard too. No real windows, just window wells. No private entrance or kitchen. It will be fine just challenging long term.
I said I would do what I needed to do to make this all work...remembering the prize at the end. It will be worth it, right?
So construction starts ASAP. I will take before and after of our little space and post soon.

Well, we aren't boring!

Let's do a little catch up, shall we?

In November Sam lost his job. In December after realizing there was nothing out there in his field of work and unemployment was just not gonna do...We decided Sam would go back the BY! Yup, BYU!

What you ask?? 3 kids, middle aged and sooooo past that stage of our life. We knew it was what we were suppose to do. As some had suggested, I will NOT be living in student housing or really in Provo.

So after lots of stress and planning...we leave on Sunday.

We packed up our house that we JUST moved into 7 months ago.

We have been staying with Scott's kids while they are in Mexico while we wait to head out in a few days. 7 kids!

Let's just say...People who have a lot of kids are truly amazing. I am WIPED OUT.

We had 2 dr. visit, 3 cases of croup, 2 ear infections, 1 valentines day party, tons of laundry, lots of chaos and packing.

So I will resume this blog as we get situated in Utah. Did I mention we don't know where we are living yet?

Wish us luck!!!
