House Hunting
We are beginning to hunt for a new home. This is incredibly sad and stressful for me. We LOVE our house. But, it's just become too costly for us and we must get out from under this huge payment.
We're looking at moving to a more rural setting. Once you get out of the city the property is so much cheaper and the house size is the same or larger. And, with our homeschooling adventure, I no longer have to live in school districts that are so expensive. So property tax would be a lot cheaper somewhere else. We pay $240/mo in property tax ontop of the riduculous house payment currently. YIKES!
What I'm truly hoping to find is a country house for rent. Then, after renting and living "out" somewhere we'd know if it was a good fit for our family. I'm so not a country girl. I sort of want to test the water before jumping in. I think it will be ok and just a new season for my life. When dh and I used to move around a lot due to his job, there was no such thing as free long distance. We left to another city and we were just sort of there. We had one car at the time and dh worked 13-17 hour days. I was home everyday with our two little girls and had no way of getting out to make friends and meet people. It was a really depressing situation for me. Now things have changed so much. With free long distance you can talk all day long no matter where you are. And OH, the internet. What a blessing that is for someone who is no longer right next door to everyone and everything. I just don't see moving as being an issue anymore. Not to mention with the kids being in sports and everything else, you really are involved whether you want to be or not 
None the less, I would prefer not to buy a house and be locked into that until just at least getting a taste of it first.
If you, friends, could join me in prayer asking God to lead us where He would want us. If it's His will that we move, may He show us in a mighty and powerful way.

I like the fact that we can move at will, if we want. Without being worried about the schools.
Good Luck & God bless,
Michelle
