Moving again

I guess ultimately, I really decided to start this to keep fam and friend informed on what's going on in our world. Since we no longer have family and friends around us...this is a great link to our thoughts and updates. Josh was recently transferred to Iowa for work. This will now be our 3rd move in 4 years....and it's getting old. Buying and selling houses is a beat down, and we actually have help in this process. We recently did find a house in Iowa it's very nice, great neighborhood, by a golf course, (of course that sealed it for Josh). Here is some pics of all the places we have lived. The only thing missing is our first apartment in Kansas city, one bedroom. That was before we had money for a digital camera...and I'm too lazy to scan a picture that really doesn't show you the whole apartment.

This was our first house in Dallas....I don't miss that tree. We actually had this old man who rode a tricycle...twice a day up our street ask me to cut it, so he wouldn't have to bend over when he rode by. I was like sure, sorry. He goes, good, now I won't have to call anyone about this. This at the same time we had one neighbor who parked on half of the grass of all the neighbors around him, and another neighbor who's fence was falling down, so his 3 chihuaha's kept escaping and crapping in our yard. I was like...yeah, call on us because our tree has leaves on it and hangs down that makes sense.

I just like this picture because it actually snowed in Dallas, and then immediately melted.

Moving on to Chicago...the windy city. We summered here this year. I was here less than 2 months before we found out that we were moving again. Great City lots to do and see, but still has that friendly midwest feel to it. I'm glad we lived outside of the city, but was still close enough to go in.

The other bonus was trading in the crossfire for the wrangler which you can see in the garage. We really started to like this house. Unfortunately, we have had only one person look at it, so apparently we were the only one's who liked it.

This is our new house in Iowa!!! Sorry it's not that great of a pic, but we are excited about it. Nice neighborhood, new development. It's a ranch style with finished basement. We have never actually had a basement before so that's exciting. We close in a couple of weeks. We should be there for at least 3-5 years, so hopefully the moving every 6 months is over for a while. No corn, but we did see a house that backed up to a field of corn. We felt like that was ironic.
