Finances is a big part of it. We wont be getting financial aid for Alyssa from school after Fall term because she'll have graduated and mine will stop when I graduate in the Winter or Spring. If we move in with Dad, he lets us live mostly free so we save money for the 9-months to a year that we're here waiting for Grad school to start. We can use that money for all the moving and move-in expenses we'll need to pay in whichever city we have to go to.
Also, the kids behave a lot better here. Odin gets energy out in his room or the backyard, and it's not so cramped here that Freya can't crawl around without being bowled over by Odin. Plus, there's a park about a 5-minute walk from the place and we take Odin there almost every day.
We like it here much better, too. Dad has a huge couch which is totally comfy (we've only ever had a futon) and tons of space, a big kitchen, and the whole place is well-ventilated and well-lit (something our apartment never was). We're more comfortable. Also, while we're here we get to help Dad eat healthier and he helps buy more food, so we all win. Plus, it's on the ground floor, no more 3-story climb (not that it was too bad, but after a while, it gets hard to do it with 2 kids).
Other than that, not much is new. We're still studying hard for our tests and classes in Fall term. Searching for grad schools is a continuing project. Etc., lah-dee dah, blah blah, yadda yadda.
