We can't escape the boxes!

Wow a lot has happened since my last posting on here!  Let me give you a brief overview of life for our family.

#1.  We were not able to find a renter/buyer for our condo in Colorado so we ended up having to move back after 9 months of Iowa.  We had  a wonderful time there. We will miss our branch. :)

#2. We finally rented our condo about a month before returning to Colorado so ended up living with my parents for almost a year! (Oct- to Oct- just shy by like a week). Thank you Mom and Dad.

#3.  Jake finally found a job doing COBRA insurance.  I work for a company that does Flex Savings Accounts, Health Savings accounts- where you have to submit your receipts and file claims to get your money out... I work on the other side of the company doing COBRA- I"m the whole department and I love it! It has a lot of rules and regs, and crabby people so I'm used to it working in the mutual funds and stocks world.  I LOVE IT!!!  and for me a job that I can even stand is a keeper.

#4. Finally after months of searching we are back at it again and have moved into a new house.  We are renting a house just down the street from my parents. Its a good size home and a lot of work.  We are excited to change it all up (at the expense to the land lord).  The girls have a basement to put all their toys in, a back yard to play in and enough room to hold our newest expected arrival of our new baby girl in Feb! 

We are once again trying to get in the habit of writing on this blog.  So please bear with us as we make the transition.  Hope we post fun and exciting stories that you all will enjoy.
