Moved

2010 has been a challenging year for us so far. We have struggled like so many others trying to modify our loan on our home for over 16 months now and without luck, we had to say good-bye to our home. It was hard to let go of something Jordan designed and put so much time into; or sweat-equity as we've called it. It was our dream home we built to raise our kids in. But we've found our dreams have changed. None the less, we are adaptable and we are happier than we've been in a long time. Finally moving forward, and not stuck standing still. We have been so blessed and I've realized that there is a bigger plan for us than we had dreamed up. Our girls have not blinked at the move and have adjusted SO well. They seem more at peace than I've felt from them in a long time. I imagine much of their frustrations and unsettling feelings came from me not knowing what was going to happen with our home. When mom's not happy nobody is right? We have moved into an old home we are renovating and its been so much fun. Oh how I love a project. It is 1/3 of the size of our 3300 square feet home we just moved from and its our cozy cottage. It's amazing what we think we need and cannot live without.. but really we can. Jordan has been the busiest of us all. On top of my "honey-do's" with this old house, he is doing tinting for Tyler's auto-glass business, working for Ballard Truss once again designing Truss', going to school on Tuesdays to get his EMT, and of course volunteering for Show low Fire Dept. doing shifts and days as often as our income will allow. He is such a hard worker. His aim is to be full-time for Show low Fire Dept. and we are rooting for him every step of the way. We are baby stepping our way from the financial crisis that this economy has left us and so many others in. But we're not worried:) We're grateful to everyone who helped us in our move and gave us emotional support throughout this. This is my closure. Its time to start celebrating the simple things in life!
