Sneaky Sneaky Sneaky!

So we have been out of $ for sometime. Getting by on not much, but it hasn't been bad because we see that light at the end of the tunnel. We know we will get paid soon. So to too darn bad if our bills are late! But......Friday I was at Target. I had to buy diapers for Ethan and tights for Merci for the wedding, Oh yeah and a candy bar for me=) I was going to put it on my Tastefully Simple only credit card (which gets paid off as checks clear my account.) Well I was at the check out and I opened up my coupon holder and was in shock. There was a wad of $50 bills. I just took it out and counted it and stared at it for awhile, the cashier probably thought I was dumb or something, because I just keep looking at it and trying to figure out where it came from. Josh and I had previously decided not to ask to borrow any money we just wanted to see how God would bless us! Well He came through AGAIN. How awesome is this????? You always here this happening to people, but it happened to ME this time!!!!!! Thank You Lord for blessing whoever blessed us! It was ultimately YOU who impressed it on them to help us out. Thanks also to that Mr. Sneaky.!!

A new season

Well It has only been a few days since I posted but there is much to update you all on.

I didn't make my goal of working out 3 times a week. But I did get 2 in. Merci got sick and couldn't go to school on Friday, so I didn't drive the long drive just to work out, besides we have like $0, so I needed to save the gas!

I started my Tastefully Simple career on Saturday. My first home party went really well. Thanks Beth! A $200 party. I make 36% of that! It was fun and I felt pretty comfortable.

THE BIG NEWS:

No I am not pregnant, nor do we plan on becoming so.

Josh also started his own "business" on Saturday. Within a week Josh found away to make money without really working too hard=) His boss had a truck he wanted to sell. It is kind of crappy, but for the price it will do until we are on our feet again. So we are buying the truck so Josh can subcontract for his company. This means more money for us!! Right now we have to pay someone to work since Josh can't. But EVERYTHING has been working out perfectly. His boss wasn't opposed to any of Josh'a ideas. He totally supported him. Gave him the truck and a blank check to buy ladders. We can pay him when we get going. How perfect. Josh has been wanting to go on his own for awhile now. So we are praying this is GOD'S plan. I mean everything happened within like 5 days. How incredible!
If this doesn't pan out, Oh well, but if it does more power to us!

I feel like we are in a new season. We both started our "business" on Saturday. We are both in a better place with God, and each other. Thanks for all of your prayers and concerns. With FAITH I can say we are good for awhile! I breathe a breath of relief as I say that. Our next bill is due on the 21st! It may be a little late, but I am confident that it as well as ALL other expenses will be paid. AND that Josh and I will get a getaway weekend for our anniversary in November.=)

Oh yeah and Josh met his biological father on Saturday also. He has never really met him before! A big day of a new season!

Caleb is home

Well Caleb is home. No missing the wedding for him! I am glad he will be able to help Crystal move in and get the final details in order. 10 more days until the wedding! Merci will be a flower girl. I can't wait until she gets all dressed up!
No fun pictures or new news. I worked out today only 2 more time this weeka nd I achieve my goal!

Tweezers and a outlet don't mix!

My little Merci learned the hard way that tweezers don't belong in an electrical outlet!
I was sitting here at my computer commenting on Autumn's blog, when the computer and lights went out, and I heard horrible screams and bangs upstairs. I was really scared so I just sat here for a moment. Merci was screaming blood curdling screams. Josh was holding her at the top of the stairs. I kept asking her if she got shocked and she said no. I demanded to see her hands, remembering what happened to Josh when he got electrocuted. Nothing there. I go into the bathroom and look around. Kind of giggling I tell Josh what I see. Tweezers hanging out of the outlet!! We lecture Merci about how we ALWAYS tell her to not play around in the bathroom. We, Josh and I, start laughing. The tweezers and outlet are both a little melted. But everyone is AOK!! Thank You Jesus for keeping those angels close by my family..we need it=)

One of my favorite moms, once said "you don't really need entertainment when you have kids, do you??" No you sure don't. I only have 2 but she has 6, I can't imagine what kind of things go on in that house everyday!!
