So, Jeremy & I just got back from a 3-day trip to our new digs in Springfield MO! I was going to go by myself to look for houses to rent but I really wanted us both to choose one so we drove the 11ish hours down there after church on Sunday, looked at houses Monday & drove back on Tuesday-whew!
Long story short, we stayed to look at one more house Tuesday morning & that turned out to be the perfect fit for us! It's only 3 years old, 15 minutes from Jeremy's FIRST JOB at the Jordan Valley Community Health Center, & close to pretty much anything we need or want! My favorite features (in order) are:
1. Big FENCED in backyard! See previous post for why this is so great!
2. A flat/smooth top stove!
3. Every room has overhead lighting so no more free standing lamps
4. A 3 car garage, not that we even have 2 cars but because it doesn't have a basement like here we can let the boys throw balls & ride trikes in the garage, I can jog on the treadmill in there & we'll have lots of storage space
5. No squeaky floors
6. Big walk-in closet in our bedroom so no dresser & it can also double as a place for a baby to nap or a bedroom for baby #5 someday? :)
7. A wood burning fireplace so we can have family hotdog & smore roasts
Thanks to my friend Kay for watching Hyrum & Hunter for us for 3 days! What a huge blessing that was & they had so much fun :)
I lived in St. Louis for a year after high school as a nanny for a great family & I love that area & I'm super excited to head back to Missouri! We're excited for more WARMTH & SUNSHINE! It was so cool to come around the curve in the road & see the arch sitting there by the river.
3rd week of May can't come soon enough!
I didn't take any pictures of our trip but if you want to hear what Emma & Justin (mostly Em) have to say about staying in their car seats for 3 days straight you can watch this video. (and if you watch the whole thing you'll see Justin gets a word in somewhat)
(WARNING: this video is 2 1/2 minutes long)

Congratulations on finding a first home there. We need to catch up on the phone soon (maybe I'll try to call you tomorrow?)! I have some news to tell you too! :)
Congratulations!!!! That is SO SO EXCITING for you guys!!!
That is totally awesome! A backyard to call your own...that is a dream come true! :)
YAY! Keep us posted on everything!
Your kids are as cute as ever!!!
Oh my goodness, that video made me laugh so hard! I noticed that Justin had to put his hand in Emma's mouth to get a chance to talk! haha! So darn cute. I'm excited for you to have a nice fenced back yard too! I love ours, cuz Connell can go play outside without me, and loves it. Your house sounds great! Good luck with the move.
Congrats my friends!! I hope you have a terrific time in your new place. Also it is wonderful to hear about graduation for Jeremy. Way to go!! By they way your kids are all so cute and you are so blessed, my friend.
How exciting!!! Its just perfect you happened to find the greatest place for you on your last day... it was meant to be. Ryan served his mission in Springfield and Joplin and outlying areas. Small world hu? Hope you guys love it there!!
How exciting--the new house sounds great! I can't believe Jeremy is actually finished with school. I'm sure it didn't go fast for you two, but it sure did for me. :)
I must admit I'm a bit jealous of the big fenced-in yard. That is the one thing I'm looking forward to the most in our next house. I'm sure your kiddos (and you) will love it.
And yeah, that video was adorable. Emma and Justin are getting so big! What cuties!
LOVED Kaylene's comment! Good for you Justin to stand up for yourself!!
Congrats! We're so excited for you!
It is wonderful to think about all the exciting changes you have coming up. I love all the pictures of your kids! I think this summer will be great for you guys! Good luck with moving.
Congratulations! That is so exciting and grown up! Saaawweet!
How exciting! Your twins look so fun! I would love to meet them sometime. What a great family. Good Luck with your new job!
You'll have to let us know when you're up for having visitors. What is it, about 2 hours?
Your babies are small.
Yay, yay, YAY!!! Good luck w the house, and thx for posting the funny vid!
How exciting!!!! We would actually love to see you guys on the 22nd...will you be there by then???
Just got caught up on your updates. Congrats on Jeremy's graduation and on your move. I'm sad we didn't end up hanging out more when you guys were here. Can't wait to see pics of the new home. Good luck to you guys in your next venture!
