We're Moving.....

We are moving to the Northwest side of Las Vegas on February 21. This is a decision we have made very recently. We can no longer afford our home, things are just too tight and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. We will be renting a house close to my older sister, Kim. Even though it is still in the Las Vegas Valley, we feel like we are moving to another city. We've loved living in Henderson. Lucas has two brothers that live not 10 minutes from us. His parents also live about 20 minutes away. We will be moving to the complete opposite side of town, its about 40 minutes away from where we live now. We feel confident about this move and are ready to start over. I haven't even started to pack yet. This is a thing I dread a lot. I don't mind unpacking and putting things away, but I loathe packing. So, it will probably be a mad dash of packing frenzy a few days before the moving day. Wish us luck!

We found ourselves in the same boat, were actually living at Casey's parents house for a few months to get caught up and its working out great for us. It feels so good to suck it up and make the decision thats best for your family. Good luck with the move.

I'm sad that you're moving further away especially considering that we never saw you guys as it is...minus trips to wal mart of course...but I am happy for you guys for making a decision that will be best for you guys. If you need help moving or packing please let us know. We'd be more than happy to help out!

I am sad you are leaving. A new adventure will be good though. And thank heaven for blogs so that we can keep in touch still. I hope that everything works out the way that you want it to.

Oh how I wish you said that you were moving to Washington! That's okay though. Good luck w/the move and I hope that things are a little easier for you.

We live on the Northwest side of town! It's not so bad, we love it out here!=) Moving is a pain though and it is hard moving away from family, that's one of the reasons we bought on this side of town bc both our families live here. good luck with the move! And I love your new picture, she's such a doll baby!

I LOVE the northwest side of town. It's my favorite part of Vegas.

Sorry that you guys have to move! My husband and I found ourselves in the same situation last year when the company he owned had to close because of the failing market. We were living in Boise, had built our dream home, had our dream car, and then the money just stopped coming in. So we had to lose our home because it cost too much. That's how we ended up back in Vegas.

But really, I don't care about any of the stuff that we lost. I have my little family, and that is the only thing worth anything.

Good luck! At least you get to stay in the same city. I'm sure you'll end up loving it.
