I grew up in the same house all of my childhood. As a matter of fact my parents still live in that house. It is in a small town in Utah called Mapleton. It is a 4 bedroom 3 bath house. I think at some point in time each of those bedrooms were mine. I had many great memories in that house.
In March of 1997 I moved into a teeny 1 bedroom apartment in Spanish Fork, Ut with Nate when we first got married. The whole house could fit inside a small gas station. I was pregnant with the twins and knew that we would need to find somewhere else to live before they were born because there would of been absolutely no room for them.
Right before they were born (only a few weeks) we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment in Payson, UT. It was on the second story. It was bigger and it had a dishwasher. We spent our first Christmas together there as a family. It was perfect for our needs.
Then Nate joined the military. He went away to boot camp and I moved back in with my parents for a couple of months. Because he was going to be gone for so long in school the military paid for me to move to Wichita Falls, TX with him. At first we lived in a fully furnished 2 bedroom apartment a few miles from the base. We stayed there about a month before we moved into a 2 bedroom duplex. It was the biggest house that I had lived in since we got married. We lived there until November of 1998.
That is when we moved to Phoenix, AZ. We lived in a shady part of town for a few months while we were waiting to get to move on base. It was awesome. On New Years Eve people went outside to shoot their guns off.
Luckily we didn't have to live there long until we were able to move onto base. We got a 3 bedroom house. The only really down side to it was there was no dishwasher and all of the dang bugs. It was a very old place. You could open the kitchen cabinets from the kitchen or from the living room. We brought Tyler home from the hospital to that house. We had many great times in that house.
Right before Ella was born we moved into a newer and bigger house on base. We were the first ones to live in the 4 bedroom 2 story house. It was perfect for when Tessa and Joy moved in (not at the same time mind you). It was cool being the first ones to of ever slept in the rooms and used the appliances.
In 2004 we got relocated to Mountain Home, ID. We spent our first year in an old run down 4 bedroom home on the base. It had a nice big backyard and the school was just across the field from us so the kids could walk to school there.
Then in 2005 Nate and I bought our first house. It is what we are living in and trying to sell now. It is a 5 bedroom split level home on almost an acre. We have been blessed to be able to buy our own home. And to have it big enough for all of the kids to have their own room (Tyler one day felt bad for me having to share a room with Nate that while he was gone to Disneyland he told me I could sleep in his room so that I wouldn't have to share a room with Daddy). There you have it 11 moves into 10 different house. 10 moves since I have been married. With another one soon to be under my belt. You would think I would be a pro at this by now. Nah I still don't like the whole process of moving. Wish me luck!
