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!

Congrats! If you ever lose sight of Haela she might be crashing some of those dorm parties ;-)
We miss y'all!
The people that bought your house have put up a privacy fence and an awning over the back patio. Looks real nice. Wish it was you that still lived there though!
Woah! so is this at Ricks? Hmm I don't know how I would feel about living with a bunch of college kids! But at least they aren't loud drunk college kids!
We miss you guys!
Wow that's crazy! How great that everything has worked so well yet so unexpectedly for you guys! I also think it's cool that you have so many babysitters around ; )Living in small spaces just keeps the family closer (I know from experience, we had 9 people in a 1200 square foot home growing up!) Enjoy your great new place and not having to pay a monthly mortgage!
Its great to have you here. . .at least until we leave in a few months!
Hooray! I will have to drop in next time Im in town. I am so glad you updated! I have missed you! :)
It's crazy that as we move away you move back! I'm happy that everything is working out for you...especially saving money, that's awesome. Now where do you keep all your food storage?
Hey, that sounds like fun to me :)
We miss you guys tons!
How are you guys??!!! Looks like you guys have your place decorated very nice. How is Idaho? I bet its sort of bitter sweet to be back home, huh? I guess no more weekend visits...next time we come to town we'll give you guys a call. I'm glad to see all is well with you guys!
It looks all nice and cozy!
I'm so glad things are falling into place for you! It looks like you will have a great time there and the college kids will love you.
