Big decisions...

We are currently doing well with our finances...not over abundant, but saving and giving and doing our best to honor God! However, with the recent rise in gas prices and the forthcoming rise in our rent, we are considering two big changes.

New car?

Matt's truck is a guzzler!  We are spending far more than we would like going through his two tanks of gas every three or four commutes!  Yikes.  We have been looking for a small SUV for months but have not been able to negotiate a price in our range!  Ideally, I would LOVE to get a Honda CRV, as it is fuel efficient and family oriented!

But, since we are having to move and gas prices are not-so-slowly and steadily rising...we will be settling for one of these instead...for Matt to drive to work! :(

Which takes us to BIG DECISION #2!

New housing?

We really like our apartment and especially the location.  We are an ideal distance from most things that we frequent and about half-way between Matt's various locations for work.  However, our lease ends in a few months and we recently learned that our rent will go up about $150 a month. So, we are considering purchasing a home!  That sounds crazy to me because I always thought that was a long ways off, but it might be the right thing to do.  Otherwise, we need to find a new apartment soon.

I would really love this!

Not this!

We are praying for wisdom and peace and major doors to open if that is God's will!  Your prayers and advice are welcomed!
