Moving Day!

We did it again. I am almost scared to count how many times we have moved in the last 8 years. Thankfully, we don’t own much here, besides dishes, toys and clothes we only have a table we bought and a few chairs. It took us one hour to move the stuff into three vehicles and an hour to move it into our new apartment.

So why did we move?
Well, now that we have lived here a few months we have come to realize that with two little children, public transportation is pretty difficult. However, buying a car in Ukraine comes with a long list of challenges. After consulting everyone that we know here the common consensus was we will need to buy new (due to road conditions, registrations, etc…). BUY NEW? As if! We have never bought a new car. And so, after much deliberation we figured out that if we moved into a new apartment for less money we could put that money towards a car payment.

The very cool thing is that right when we decided to look for a new place our friends told us that they were moving out of their place. It is one third less in price than the rent from our first place and it has an extra room. So God provides yet again!
