Wow, again it's been quite some time. Thank you so much for hanging in here with me. There has been so much on my heart lately but I would love to share just this praise to God and my husband about some new things in our life! I have like eight different things I could write about but this is certainly a big one. Maybe you could let me know what you'd be interested in hearing about in my next post:

Parenting With Parents and Non-Parents....AHHHHHH!
First i have been so amazed by the way that God provides for our family. My husband has not had a full time job for over a year now. In fact we never know as the month approaches if he will work at all. But some how by the end of each month he has had the right jobs that have paid just the right amount of money to cover our budget and more for the next month! Also right before my husband was laid off from his full time job we were introduced to an amazing author, radio personality, financial extrordinare and amazing man of God, Dave Ramsey. We wanted to get our finances on track and know what was going on. We were sick and tired of being sick and tired. We were done having too much month at the end of the money. So God placed this man in my husband's life through his radio show on am 980 and it was then that the love affair started! We are now addicted to our financial planning, to anything Dave Ramsey has to say, and to becoming debt free so that someday we can "...live like no one else." Thank God because had God not provided this man and his instruction to us before my husband lost his job we would have been...hmmmm...how should I say it? ... Up a creek.
So here we are now over a year later with some bills paid off, an emergency fund (that recently came in very handy) and our July budget still on track and good. The best part of all of this is that my husband has been faithful, hard working, sacrificial, (taking jobs he wouldn't normally need to do, sweeping roofs, painting houses, assembling a batting cage) patient and most of all prayerful about jobs and our future. We knew the Fall would promise to be better then the last few seasons so we have been anxiously awaiting it's arrival when all of the sudden the deal has gotten even sweeter. Joel was offered a position as a mixer ( the official job he has wanted for some time now...he is a sound mixer for t.v., film, and video games) at a great post house, and as of yesterday signed on for another show that starts even sooner then we thought! Yay!!! So i have been over the moon thankful for these enormous blessings in our life and can't wait to see what else is in store!
Thank you God for all you do in our little family! Thank you husband for your strength and sticktoitiveness, passion and talent, and thank you readers for still wanting to read my tiny little, inconsistent blog! Don't forget to tell me what you'd like to hear about next! Gotta go Ella is starting to hit the keyboard k,jsji s;lsjp0 ;k;fes Until nelkseoi next time! lol dfrtukki
