Altoona, I'm back!

We are moving! The past few weeks have been crazy! In one week I found new tenants for our side of our duplex, a new daycare provider, and a new place to live. Ben needs to move to Eau Claire for his job and we thought this might be happening for a little over a year now. We finally got the confirmation and I worked my tush off in order to get everything done in time! We moved in with my parents today and will move into our almost brand new duplex in the one and only -Altoona, WI on May 15th! We needed to find a place on the South side of Eau Claire and after a lot of searching we found the perfect place in my hometown! It is just as close to where Ben needs to be as many of the places we were looking at in Eau Claire. Also it is on a quiet residential street a block away from 10th street park! It will be wonderful!

I am a little nervous about missing our duplex in Osseo. It is where we were living when we got married and it was the place we brought Gracelyn home to, but we still own it. So who knows? We will probably live in Altoona/Eau Claire for the next two years and then we will decide at that point where we want to settle down. It is probably going to be between Osseo and Altoona....our hometowns. My job is in Osseo and his can be in either Osseo or Eau Claire...we will see! I am just excited to be moving! It has been so much work and it will continue to be, but I think it will be fun living in Altoona again.

We have found a wonderful new place for Gracelyn to go to daycare and our new duplex is beautiful! We get to be landlords and renters at the same time! Eventually I would like to sell the duplex in Osseo, just not yet. We have some decisions to make in the next couple of years, but I am totally content to not worry about it all yet. We have time! I will post pictures of our new place once we move in :-)
