For Sale


As some of you may or may not know we have decided to sell our home. It has been for sale now for just over a month.

A few months ago my husband and I sat down and went over all of our finances to see where we are and what would be best for our family. My husband started his own company almost two years ago this March and it has been extremely slow for the last 4 months. With the decision to keep me home with our kids and live comfortably we decided to down size. We are looking for a home from Layton (where we are now) to Bountiful. We want a smaller home but with a little more square footage finished. With plans in the future to add a couple more kids and trying to get my husbands business up and running we felt it best to sell, get out of debt (except for a house payment,) make sure our kids had some life insurance, savings, and what not going, and to get our family savings and food storage in order so we can feel more secure about things. This was the best move. In this case if and when my husband is slow we will still be able to live and not feel like we are house poor all the time.

Although we absolutely LOVE the neighborhood and our ward we know that whereever we end up the Lord has something good in store for us and this is what we need to be doing at this time in our lives. It is very sad to leave this beautiful home we have built but we also realize there is a time and season in our lives. The next 5 years we plan to build our family and get secure. Then if all goes well we can build again and do thing's a bit better for us and our family.

Thing's are going really well and it's not the end of the world to us. We are happy and doing well and LOVE and adore our little kiddos. I wouldn't want to be any where else in the world except home with them.

I love you all and I hope everyone is doing well. Happy New Year and may this year bring you all a lot of love and happiness. We as a family are so excited for this new year, new beginnings, new goals, new adventures, and we are always excited to see where life takes us. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
