Hey GUESS What?!?

No, I'm not pregnant!!!

But, YES we are moving again.

I can't believe it either.

Yes, we are crazy!

Are we ever going to settle down?!

Doubtful!

Why? I'm so glad you asked. While we LOVE living in the country, we do NOT love our $1000/mo energy bills. We do NOT love the fact that after 13 months, the county notified us that we can't have our semi trucks here or work on them because we have such a small piece of land (two acres). So factor the utilities and the cost for our business to store and maintain trucks together (along with the amount of time and fuel we spend having a life outside our home) and we are in a financial place we don't care to be. We kinda like having a life, you know?!? All I can say is, thank goodness for savings!!!

So, we are moving! We are having a house built on the very west side of Greeley. We are scheduled to close the middle of April. It is a cookie-cutter home and we are losing 1100 square feet, which will be... interesting. But we gain many other things. All our bedrooms are on the same floor which I think will be very good. We haven't had that kind of sleeping arrangement in five years. My laundry room will be upstairs and hidden -- very good for my pride! We will have a basement!!! I'm so excited about that. We were able to contract right at the beginning of this new phase of building so we got a huge lot that will work perfectly for the things we need -- lawn, garden and hidden chicken coop (wink). The hole for the foundation was dug this week and I met with the designer to pick out interior options. I was a stressed out sick mess doing it but I am very happy with what I chose. I wanted it to be just right, you know?!? Well, apparently it wasn't too bad because the designer told me she used my choices in a spec home. (Not sure if I am actually thrilled about that but it was flattering.)

We are packing and cleaning, again. This house goes on the market in a couple of days. We never did actually close on it. (Another tale for another day. It's ridiculous but I can now say it was also miraculous!)

Wish me luck with timing! We may have to live in our camper, which could be a fun adventure!

I am dreading the process but focused on the result!
