Another month is coming to a close and things are of course changing. Nothing ever seems to stay the same anymore. Life is hectic. Lets do a top ten list of things you may or may not have known happened in the past few weeks or will happen soon.

1. Steven and I have been going to church. It's a small little baptist church, but the people are ridiculously nice and the preacher gives an amazing sermon. He keeps your attention and preaches to your heart.

2. Bluffton has screwed me over once again. I still don't have my teaching license and I called the state to find out that it was sent to Bluffton University and they were supposed to send it on to me....WHERE IS IT??

3. I'm in the final weeks of my job. Our long hours are over and we aren't working Saturdays anymore. Thank God.

4. Reading the above one would think that means that work is getting easier. It's not. Just when Erika (my aide) and I were relieved that the end was near they gave us TWO new kids. Six one- year-olds. One that can't walk and cries ALL day. BLAH. It sucks.

5. It's getting cold which means that we have to shut the windows which means that our digital bunny ears are working even less. We now only get FOX and PBS.

6. Subway Scrabble is ending soon. We need the letter B badly. If you get it and don't want it give it to us PLEASE!! We'll take you for a ride in our new hybrid :)

7. My mom brought us a pumpkin to carve. It's huge. I can't wait!

8. I keep meaning to get pictures of our house put up somewhere but it keeps not happening. Hopefully soon I can get it done!

9. I might actually qualify for unemployment after all...It would be nice if I did to help out for just a little bit at least.

10. We spent Saturday night in the ER getting Steven's foot taken care of. Nothing too serious, but he's in pain and leaking so I've been trying to nurse him back to health this week.

Cheers and Jeers

It's been a while since I did a Cheers and Jeers so I thought I would give it a whirl.

Cheer: I only have 2 more Saturdays and then I can go back to normal 40 hour weeks. I'm not sure I'll know what to do with those extra 20 hours each week.

Jeer: Working alone quite a bit lately. Long days, Bad kids, and no support.

Cheer: I feel good that I got Bethany a job, now if only I could do the same for myself.

Cheer: Figuring out my license issue. Now I just need to get it.

Jeer: Missing spending time with my friends and having no time to fit it in.

Jeer: Figuring out what comes next. I need a new job for after TMC.

Cheer: Going to church and strengthening my faith. It's just what I need in a time like this.

Random Topics.

You never realize how much you use certain things until you move out for the first time and you are frantically running around the house trying to shut lights off or you are trying to shower quicker or you are stretching your groceries. It's all a science and until you find your own routine and figure out how to budget what you have it can seem like a lot to take in, but I think that Steven and I are doing great with it. We both know where we stand financially and we are both working towards the same goals. It's great.

We have started going to church together and we found one here in Delta that we like. It's a baptist church and the preacher is really nice and he has great sermons on Sunday. Going together makes me feel like we are growing stronger together because we are working on bettering ourselves together. This is something that stands out to me about our relationship, we are growing together we are supportive of each other and we want to better our lives, but at the same time we are meshing into one. We have such a solid relationship and it absolutely amazes me how much it grows each and every day.
