After only 11 months & 2 weeks of having our own place, we moved right back out of it & into Ryan's parents house. Definitely not what I had in mind. If you're wondering why we moved, I will tell you.
Basically, Ryan got a new job. But, it's not just a JOB. He & 2 of his friends have their own Diesel & auto shop together. It's a new shop, & they're still trying to get everything they need, so a lot of money is being put into it, meaning Ry isn't bringing as much home as he was before. {YET!} Once they get everything they need, and they get more business {they already have quite a bit, but not enough to make what he was making before just yet} So anyways, right now we don't have a very steady income from him working. We're not sure how much each check is going to be, and if we will be able to pay rent + all of our other bills. And basically, we don't want to screw up our credit, or rental history, or get our power/gas shut off if one month we aren't able to pay a bill. So since our lease was up at the end of June, we decided that the best thing to do right now, would be to move out of our very first home {tear :( } and move into Ryan's parents house for a while. Definitely not ideal to be living with other people, but we are SO very thankful that they have opened their home to us, so that Ryan can have his dream job & we can get back on our feet. Luckily, they are very easy people to live with & it's a great place for our children to be! But I still hope we are able to get another place of our own within the next couple of months, just because I have LOVED living on our own! It's been so nice, and I'm pretty sad that it has come to an end. I'm trying to stay positive about it & remember that this is such a great opportunity for Ry, give him all the support in the world and everything will be much easier once they are settled into the new place, and he can start making some good money again! So anyways, if you were wondering why we had moved, that is why!

Ryan & his dad {and of course, little mister helper B!} moving all of our stuff out :(
B's room, after about 4 huge boxes of toys & all the big things were already gone!
Moving makes for a nice, big mess.
Our empty house after we got done cleaning it, right before we walked out the front door for the very last time.Annnd, now all 4 of us are nice & cozy in one bedroom. Luckily most of our stuff we were able to store in the back garage, so we don't have a ton of crap we aren't using laying around. But we still don't have a whole ton of room for the things that we DO need inside of the house.
This is what it looked like before everything was unpacked & put away.
And this is how it looks now that everything is set up. I still don't have any place to put a few things, like all of our DVD's & a few boxes of paperwork stuff. Every single wall is completely lined with something, haha.
Our closet. I thought it was a pretty nice sized closet {for a non-master bedroom} until I had to put ALL of our clothes in there. Ryan's don't even fit! Annnd, this is just the clean stuff. I have 3 baskets of laundry I still have to do.
Poor Brans, he has SOOO many toys, that half of them have to stay packed out in the garage {but he'll sure be excited when he is able to play with those ones again... it'll seem like he's getting a ton of new toys! haha} So this is all of his inside toys, taking up the whoooole floor of the closet! hahaAnyways, so there's the story of our little bump in the road! Hopefully within 3-6 months, I will be updating about us moving into a new home for the 4 of us! (:
