Lazy Days

Ladies and gentleman, I am on Week #2 of vacation. Woo Hoo!!!! I have REALLY enjoyed spending time with Tim and Natty. It is so hard to go to work sometimes (especially that last month and/or week). I wish the economy would get better sometimes so we could just live off of Tim's income. I'd really like to be home with Natty and actually make our apartment a home. But it's not God's plan right now. Anyhow, I'm thankful that we are the last intermediate school that is "year-round." What that means is I work 3 months and get a month off. I really like it. At the end of the 3 months, I'm really ready to have a break, and am terribly missing Tim and Natty.

Since I've been home, I'm determined that our apartment will be organized and back to normal. Probably will happen like the last week I'm off, but anyhow, I am making progress. I'm actually possibly going to get selling some junk at 2 garage sales to make some money towards a down payment on a house.

Yes, we are still house hunting. Something cool kinda happened though. We had met with a realtor last week, wasn't too impressed. I think she was more focused on selling the "big" houses that would bring in more commission than what we were looking for. Being discourages, we started thinking may now wasn't the time. We went to a BBQ with our married couples Bible study group. Anyhow, during our prayer request, one of the couples asked our host (who was in Tim's Mens Bible study group) how the job hunt was going. He said he started a new job a while back in REALTY! Omigosh! Tim nearly flew off his seat. He said this definitely had to be the Lord. Who else would be able to point us to a realtor who is a Christian and actually would have our best interest at heart. We were thrilled!!!!!!! So we've been keeping our house hunt in prayer.

Natty has been doing better with her bouts of vomitting. Nothing since the day before we took her into her pediatrician last week. She does have an Upper G.I. scheduled for the 14th. Not a major procedure, she swallows some dye and will have an x-ray to see if her organs developed normally. Sounds scary, but surprisingly, I've been at peace about it this week. It is so hard to not worry constantly about Natty, our finances, jobs, and what not. I am slowly learning (through my Mentoring Group), but learning, that worrying never really helps anything, anyone, or any situation.
