We are Head Residents in Idaho!

It has taken me two months to finally post that we are dorm parents in Idaho now. We are not in St. Louis or Chicago as some may have thought. A week before we were planning to move from Chicago to St. Louis for Kelly to start his company we had a strange feeling that we should not do it. Then that Saturday we found out Kelly got hit with budget cuts in his company. So we packed up the house and went to the family reunion in Idaho and figured we would receive inspiration there on where we should move and what we should do. So while at home we had the strange feeling that we should stay--definitely NOT part of the plan! We felt it was right for Kelly to start his company here instead of St. Louis. Then a head resident job on campus fell into our laps and we knew why it was we were supposed to be here. Now Kelly is running his company--happier then ever--and we have VERY LITTLE expense. It was kind of an adjustment to move from 2000 sq. ft. to 750--but we are managing. We have 120 babysitters living next door and a lot of attention for the kids! There are challenges but we are happy with the money we are SAVING!


Our new LITTLE home!

The kids love to run up and down the dorm stairs and play hide-and-seek in the lounge!













I figured it out!

So I finally know how to make cute boutique-looking bows! Guess how I learned? You-tube!!! I just did a search on hairbows and it brought up a hundred videos on how to make them! If you want to learn you-tube will be your best friend!
