Say Cinderella and the Prince tried to make it on their own. They paid for their wonderful wedding on credit cards. They moved into a cute little rental just outside the kingdom. Then they had a baby. It didn't take long for them to realize that their meager income combined with their mounting debt was placing a mighty large toll on "Happily Ever After". In order to get their future back on track, they knew what their new little family was going to have to do: move in with the King and Queen.
And that's where I am today. My husband and I have decided that we, our baby daughter, our cat, and a few precious pieces of furniture are all going over the hill and through the woods to Grandma's (and Grandpa's) house. We were facing re-signing the lease on our rental for a mandatory two years. That's not what we want - we want a place to call Home. White picket fence, etc. And so, like many young Americans today, we made the difficult decision to move back in with his parents, my in-laws.
So this blog will chronicle my family's interesting journey. My hope is that the end result will someday be us "moving in" to our own house. In the meantime, I will share with you our trials and tears, lessons and laughs. It's not going to be easy. It's going to be really, really hard. But if you ain't got family, what have you got?
Such a sacrifice, but it will be worth it in the end when you have that white picket fence. Excited to take this adventure with you!
