Tim has been working on his own plumbing business for the past four years. With the economy, business was starting to slow down and we were having a harder time collecting money on past work. Tim had one of his previous employers call him and offer him a job that would take him to Pocatello, Idaho for 2 years. After a lot of praying he decided he would take the job. So December 2009 he moved up to Pocatello leaving me and the kids in Utah for the time being. He would come home on the weekends to see us. However, on the weekends he would work on jobs pertaining to the business that had been piling up all week so we literally never got to see him and he never got a break from working. This went on for about five months. I honestly didn't think we could take it any longer. Being at home with my two kids 24/7 with NO breaks was driving me crazy.Don't get me wrong I love my kids dearly but it was hard doing it all on my own. Tim was working around the clock and not getting ahead. So after much deliberation we decided to put our home up for sale. The odds were against us. It was in the middle of Winter, the value of the home dropped and selling just wasn't an option. I was discouraged! (Thanks to all my friends and family for letting me vent all the time;)) One week the kids and I went to visit Tim in Pocatello. I was driving around and came across a home that was for rent. I just knew this was the house for our family. Mind you, there were NO good rentals. I went home and put our home up for rent and prayed my little heart and soul out that we would find the right renters. This is something I never thought I would have to do and having people live in my home with their germs...ewww! We ended up finding some great tenants and so we packed up our home and moved to Pocatello! This has honestly been such a great experience for our little family. Wow...did I just write a novel. Sorry about that folks. So here are some pictures of our new place we call home. Come and visit us!
Gotta love the siding and mini blinds!
