More Changes

Well we are at another turning point.Chris is getting another job...This one he will be working for the government inspecting grain that comes in on the rail cars.He called me tonight when he got to work and told me the good news.He caught me in the middle of working out!!!He has been working part time now since Oct 07..Now it looks like he will be going full time real soon.He will have affordable medical insurance,paid vacation,and personal leave.This is going to be good for us I know it is.I am still kinda scared.I am trusting Chris this time and I know he will not let me down.He never has.We knew it was coming but we didn't realize it was going to be this soon.His supervisor is going to talk to the Big Guy in charge tomorrow to make sure that everything is still a go.If it is then he will be giving his 2 weeks notice to his job now!!!I know that the Good Lord was in this all.I give him all the credit for all of this happening.He put Chris in the right place at the right time.He always provides right at the nick of time.We don't always understand why we have to go through the valley sometime,but God sometimes puts us in the valley so we can appreciate the mountain top.

Just Some Random Stuff

Well another week is gone.We have sprung forward!!!I am so glad the days are getting longer.I think the kids are going to be glad too.It seems like when we do spring forward I get so much done.My mood improves so much during this time of the year!!!I think its just that during this time of the year everything is new.The trees are turning green.The birds are chirping.Its just a time of renewal for me.I guess spring is my favorite time of the year!!!

See this is just random!!!I have been doing a lot of reading on frugal living.There is so much information out there.I have learned that frugal living is not being cheap.With 1 income coming right now I am willing to do anything to save money.Believe me with prices on everything going up like they are I need every dollar to count.So I was having this conversation with DH the other night.He was all about it until I told him we need to bump up the AC when Summer got here.He didn't like that to much.I know I can get him on board after we get that first electric bill of the summer.I will keep updated on that!!I am still trying to get everyone to turn lights and tv's off when they are not in the room or watching tv.They are getting better on that.Just that little change my electric went down $20 this month!!!Go Me!!!Well that's enough randomness for now!!I am sure there will be more!!!

Just an Update

Well where do I begin?I guess i will start by saying that all is well at our little camp.This week he kids and Chris have been sick.So far I have been lucky....Chris has gotten a second job working for the USDA inspecting grain and loading the boats that come to our local port.Right now its part time but we hope before to long he will be full time.The kids are growing up to fast for me.Morgan is 7 going on 17!!!She loves Hannah Montana and High School Musical.She is all girl and then some.We had to get her glasses in Feburary.Now there is a 'Mini Me' in the house.What do you think?On to Austin.He is 4 and all boy.He will be going to school in August.Sure doesn't seem like he should be going to school already!!!His like at the moment are Spongebob and Spiderman.He is a momma's boy for sure.

We had a scare in December.My grandmother went in to have knee surgury and had 2 light strokes during the operation.The strokes left her blind.The Dr. said that if she got any of her sight back it would only be about 10% if that much.Well she wouldn't accept that!!!She has just about all of her sight back.Thank God.She always told us that God was going to give her sight back.i know that he did.

I am still trying to live a healthy lifestyle.I lost about 25 pounds last year.I am on the quest to lose another 25 this year!!!I have been back to tracking my food and excercising now for about 2 weeks.Believe me when you get off track its hard to get back on,but i will get there.I will get there one day at a time!!!!

So I have updated!!!!I will try to keep this one updated more!!!!So long for now...
