We shall see...
Today was day 2 of my job and having to drive all the way to Ashton on horrible roads in the snow and therefore having to take the truck. As of right now, it is not looking like it is worth it. I need to make something and these past two days I have spent $40 in gas, used up all $40 worth and havent even earned $40 from working. So I am still looking for better jobs. We need to pay things off and definetely SAVE!! Not sure driving to Ashton every day is going to make that happen!

Christmas
Christmas Eve we packed up and went to my parent's house as soon as Brad got off work. We had dinner and got the Traditional Red nightgowns on. After putting the kiddos to bed and wrapping up presents Brad and I went out to the hot tub! It was so nice! The sky was clear and the moon was bright and we could see the stars all while being in the hot tub! Running out there to get in is the hardest part!
Christmas morning Hunter didnt wake up until 8:30! That was great. The kiddos are still young that they werent focused on waking up for presents. In fact, when we got downstairs Hunter didnt even notice the presents or stockings. After a few minutes we had to turn his attention to them and remind him that santa came. Opening presents was fun.
In the afternoon we went sledding. So much fun!!! Hunter mostly likes running down the hill, Brooke and I LOVE going down and let's just say that Brad has snowmobiling in his blood, NOT sledding. My mom even went! The videos of Brad are HILLARIOUS!
This video KILLS ME! Brad is hillarious! He makes me laugh so hard
Then we packed up at 3 and headed to Shelley. The kiddos fell asleep which was a life saver!
When we got to Memaw and Papa Steve's they got out the little snowmobile. I was very proud of Hunter!! he did it all by himself, poor uncle Dave got a good work out. Unfortunately we left our snow clothes behind so he was cold! I love the smile on his face as he comes in.
Then we had a delicious dinner and opened so many presents! We had a good time with family and Hunter loved playing with his cousins!
When we got home we were all exhausted! It was a great Christmas!

Peace
I just got back from an orientation for this new job. I walked in the door and the family room was clean and vacuumed thanks to my awesome husband.
But most importantly I feel peaceful about having to work and this job. I have been sad, torn, and a litle unsure about this specific job so it is really nice to have peace. They are flexible with my schedule wich will be scheduled around Brad's schedule and so the kiddos will have either Mom or Dad home with them. Basically I am working for a company that is paid by medicaid to go into people's homes and do what ever I need to. I will be a CNA/caretaker. It isn always necessarily older people either, but could be adults/children with disabilties. It sounds a heck of a lot more enjoyable than the nursing home I worked for after high school. I hated being rushed and having a HUGE load to care for.
So again, I feel peace, and it feels great.

Miracle
Today a check came in the mail from my sister for the EXACT amount of tithing we just paid. It is a tithing and Christmas miracle. I am humbled, grateful and it is a reminder that the Lord knows our situation, we are not forgotten.
I love you Sister!
I love you Sister!
