Wishin'

I was hoping it was August for 2 reasons. 1, it means a break from the heat. An end in sight. 2, there was a really good ensign article I wanted to share. Maybe Monday then.
So I'll just settle for what's on my mind. Moving.
Yup, moving. I think we have decided we are going to sell when our house is finished. Although, right now is the perfect time to buy, it is a less than desirable time to sell. If the house was finished now, we would sell now, because interest rates are so good. We are hoping in 2 years to be able to get a 10 year, so we dont add anything to our time frame to have the house paid off.
Don't get me wrong. I love my house. If I could pick it up and move it to another neighborhood. No, let me rephrase that. Into A neighborhood, I would. I am not a big fan of my kids having no friends close by. No, I take that back too. I would be prefectly fine if we lived out in the middle of nowhere. What I don't like is the apartments accross the street, and the traffic from that. And said traffic going to the gas station next door. Maybe some business will buy our house, and tear the place down.
I wouldn't be opposed to moving into the neighborhood here, and staying in the ward. But the yards are not big enough. Maybe I'll think differently if I fail at my yard again. (it was destroyed by some unknown contagion.) I think if we actually do move, we haven;'t decided that it IS what we are doing. We will move closer to Trent's family.
Who knows, maybe I'll get the yard all put in, Trent will get the kitchen and bathroom done, and I won't be able to move. It would be hard to even leave the work we've done so far. Then we hear a drunken apartment neighbor, going on a beer run, or the neighbor walking down the street with no pants on, and I would get out of here no matter what. And really, I don't feel like we could up root again, once 1 of 6 hit 7th grade. So, we'll see where and if we are prompted to go. Maybe I'm just getting antsy. We have never lived in one place for more than 15 months, and we've been here for 4 years. Maybe it's just me.

I feel like that all the time. "Uprooting" that is but you know, we're prompted to go where we're supposed to so maybe some prayerful answers will lead you to where you're supposed to be. ;-)
