changes

what: now that the 'i's are dotted and the 't's are crossed i can officially share that cody and i are moving!  it's bittersweet but timely.

  

why: first of all let me just say that i loved our home!  if i could have picked it up and put it somewhere else i would have!  we poured a lot into making it ours and i am somewhat sad  that we're moving on so quick.  

we're tightening our radius though.  we work and carson attends daycare in different towns, several miles north of our home.  i spend at least 90 minutes on the road every.single.day.  and when your pnug is only awake and with you for so many you start to realize how precious time really is.  moving will give us the gift of time and for me will lessen my daily drive time by 40 minutes.  that's huge!  not to mention we'll be moving to a smaller town with a smaller school district.  that was compelling reason number two.  we both grew up in a small town and were able to explore several activities at an early age because of it's size.  we wanted to same for carson.

where:  to a town just south of where i work - still in iowa!  in a house that we've not yet started on a lot that we've already purchased.  and the best part is cody's brother already lives there and so do two of our friends!  

how: two moves will complete this change.  one to an apartment and another into our new home.  a throwback to our college days only this time with a baby....and a dog.  what an adventure this will be/already has been!

when:  hopefully before the holiday season.  i'd be optimistic to think we'd be in by carson's first birthday but one can dream. 

goodbye scott street!  you've been good to us!
