Why Idaho, you ask?

Several reasons, actually. It's warmer than here but still allows us to have snow occasionally, it has three temples and we can live within 30 minutes of one, it has a nice sized LDS population without overwhelming us with members (I'd like to have an occasional missionary opportunity!), it has mountains and rivers which is a must for John, the home school laws are great, the midwifery laws are great, it has a medical school.... The reason are endless. The house we found is another fixer-upper; built in 2005, but the extras were never completely finished because it is a high-end home in an expensive neighborhood and the bottom fell out of the market and the builder couldn't sell it. So we figured, why not? We can finish the house, landscape the yard, and if we don't want to stay sell it for a substantial return with very little comparable output beyond man hours. No matter what, we will move to Idaho within the next few months because of the above reasons. The only question is when and if we will be buying. If this falls through we'll just rent while we save up to buy land and build.
