Car Shopping...

To make a long story short, we came to the decision that now is not the time for us to buy a car. The main thing holding us back was that we recently got the title changed for my car and it is still in the temporary status; it will take 4-6 weeks for the paperwork to go through. As much as we brainstormed, we had too many expenses coming up for the big move, vacations, and med school. We also made the point that it is more important to us to not be even more stressed each month for money. We would rather enjoy going on outings with new friends, than driving around in an older car for one more year. We are happy with the decision we made and have reflected back on the decision multiple times with great contentment.

A few good things - one reason we didn't want to buy a car during a semester of med school, is because this med student wouldn't be able to give as much time, energy, and research for car searching. So I am grateful we spent that time diving into this process and being 'so close' to buying, that we know what to expect and prepare for when that time does come. It is very important to us to live within our means (we will save that topic for a later post). It is definitely hard to budget a car payment when we don't know the full income we will have.


Moving...
Well, both of our parents ended up moving on the exact same day, and then us a week later. Busy, Busy, Busy! We ended up inherting a lot of furniture that we are very grateful for.
PS: I would just like to take some time to show my appreciation for having such a strong husband. He makes moving easier on me and more affordable and he definitely put all those muscles to good use! Lets just say I came home from work early ready to fill our Uhaul and when I got home he had it ALL done. By himself. Couches, kitchen table, dressers, beds, everything!

We are now getting settled in. We love our new house and there are definitely some adjustments we are making. More to come.

Love,
the Bs
