I guess God is trying to teach me some patience at this time in my life. There are so many things that are "up in the air" in our lives right now and it is making me crazy!
We have talked for months about needing to trade in our SUV. It has over 120,000 miles on it and I just don't feel comfortable driving something out of warrantly, especially with Kyle out of town so much. I fear of getting stuck somewhere just B and I and a broken down vehicle! We just can't come to an agreement on what to get and/or what we can get the best deal on. Silly I know....
We have also been discussing moving closer to my job and my mom. It would only be 30 minutes away from where we are now, but that means I would get close to an hour more each day with B! However, the cost difference is crazy! A house just 500 square foot more than what we have now would be almost $100,000 more!!! The lots in the areas we are considering are so much more expensive than if we were to build a house in our current town. I would LOVE to be closer to my friends, mom, and unfortunately my job but the numbers just don't seem possible. We want to take advantage of the incredible financing rates while we can. So do we stay where we are and re-finance? Try to sell our house and move closer to everything (while sacrificing space/money)? Or build a nice house in our current town that would be plenty of room for the future???
Speaking of my job, I'm still holding out to become a SAHM. Not sure when it will happen, but I am praying that it will! I read something this morning that made me really think. "Why am I leaving the thing I love most (Boston) to go to a job that I don't LOVE?" I'm so thankful to have a job right now and some days it makes me feel so accomplished to be doing both. Some days I DO love my job but those come few and far between. I know i am missing out on so much and B is starting the stage right now where role models make all the difference in the world. Do we really want someone we barely know to be his main role model in these important formative years??? I don't!!!
Be praying for us (especially me) in the patience department at the moment and all of the decision making that lies ahead. Did I mention I despise making decisions???

I will keep you in my prayers. I know all of those decisions have to be hard on you. God will take you through it girl!
Keeping you in my prayers. Life is just flat out hard sometimes, but I am so thankful that He has it all under control and has our best interests at heart! Hang in there!
Prayers for you guys, It sounds like you definitely have so many decisions to make. I don't know what would be best. Part of me thinks that if you don't move to be closer that you might regret it forever. Sometimes I feel like family is more important than a bigger house. On the flip side, if you want to be a SAHM (I so do to). You might want to think of your own family and buy a bigger home and a more reliable car. Ahhh decisions. Its so difficult sometimes. I hope you figure out what you need in your life.
I'll send prayers your way for you to make the decision that is right for your family.
Girl, I will say a prayer for you will all of these decisions. We had kind of the same thing with my car...115K miles and the transmission went out. Of course we paid to fix it and now I feel stuck with a car with 115K miles on it! And the work with a baby thing...I totally understand. I do not have kids gets, but we talk about that all the time. My commute is an hour each way every day. So much time away from a child. Hang in there! I will pray for clear answeres for you!
