We are officially crazy

After this past "tax season" (January 1st - April 15th) I/we decided that I/we didn't want to deal with K working 60 hour weeks with me being at home with 3 kids. K is a CPA... So K started looking for private accounting jobs where he'd work 40 hour weeks all the time. He/we also decided to look in Nebraska (where we are now) or Iowa (where most of our families are). It soon became clear that, for the jobs he was interested in, he would need a) more experience or b) bigger tax firm experience. His brother has a friend that is a tax partner at a firm in Iowa and K talked with him earlier this month. K had an official interview last week and got a job offer today. So...we are moving back to Iowa! He will still be doing public accounting, but will be working less than 60 hours during "tax season".

I have a feeling this next month will be super crazy. In addition to keeping 3 kids happy, clean and fed, we'll need to get the house ready to sell and pack up ALL our stuff. Oh and we put in an offer on a house tonight, so we'll see what the sellers say...

I am really sad to leave our church and good friends here. Emma will miss her friend, N, and we will miss her parents! It has been a great place to live. I feel like we're finally getting to know a lot of people here. And we love our house (which we had built). We are excited to move closer to family and Emma/Micah/Nathan's cousins, though, too. So at the same time, I'm excited and sad and overwhelmed. It could be a crazy week!
