Well, we are starting our lives over. We don't have to move, yet. We probably won't have to move for 5-10 months. That's what the lawyer thinks. We decided to move before the next school year so we don't have to uproot Paige. I am excited to move on with our lives. John is still hoping we can stay here if he gets another job (eyes rolling). Well he is actively looking for some other job, either replace his current for higher pay, or a second job until the market returns. We ultimately would love to stay and make his current job work, but if the market doesn't turn I am not sure how long his job will be there. Just speculation. I will miss my neighborhood in New Harmony. It is the best place for my kids. I will still see my friends, though. ( I hope) We had a great 3 years here.
All the problems we have been through have not made John and I grow apart. It has actually made us learn to talk through our problems and figure out the right solution. I just wish john would budge more ;) That amazes me because we went through some pretty tough stuff and we hardly fought about it. It made us learn how important a budget is. It also taught me to not be so frivolous. I took for granted John's job with Stock. He made such good money we never in our wildest dreams would have thought we would be here. But in a way it was good for us to realize our faults and work on them for the future. With no credit we are going to HAVE to save up for things now instead of just a quick purchase.
I do look forward to the future and hope the construction industry will pick up so we won't be so tight on money. Or I hope John can find a job he loves and doesn't mind going to every day.

Good Luck - Hope all goes well with you guys, you know We're here for you.
Way to find the positive in things! You really have handled this last year amazingly, and I'm proud of you. Trials help us grow. Without them we'd just stagnate. It's also nice to have a break from them and grow in other ways too though. Good plan to move in the summer between school years. I, for one, will keep wishing that wherever you end up after this- it's closer to me! Completely and totally selfish, but I love having you close as you are, and it would be great having cousins even closer. (Of course, I wish that anytime family says they are looking for a new location or direction. I love having family right close by- especially if it means kids I trust mine to play with!)
