Downsizing house, upsizing family, are we nuts?!!!

Yup, we are going to move from our nice 4 bedroom house into a small 3 bedroom townhome. Yup, we know we are going to be adding another family member. So are we crazy? NO! We are finally realizing that the things we really really want are only going to be attainable if we drastically change our lifestyle. We have no insurance to help pay for this baby, and therefore we are needing to save up and pre-pay so we can get the huge discounts from the hospital and doctor. We also are obsessed with buying THE house. The house we will SETTLE in. The house our kids will bring their kids to visit us and tell them how awesome their childhood was in this house. The house that will keep my gypsy personality in check. So, we are willing to sacrifice space, a yard, a garage, etc. for a short time so we can make our dreams a reality.

Wish us luck and moving boxes would be nice! :)

And if anyone wants an awesome 4 bedroom house in the best neighborhood and landlords in St. George for only 1250/month let me know!

You guys will be fine!! Once you realize how much you are saving and look at the big picture of getting to buy your dream house, it will all be worth it!! (at least that's what I keep telling myself!) ;)
