Cheer: I officially start my job as a Pre-K teacher tomorrow. This means steady hours, and a steady paycheck in a classroom with children of my ideal age. It's truly a blessing.
Jeer: I've been sick. It started as an ear infection and turned cold and turned DOUBLE ear infection. It basically boiled down to having to get antibiotics (which make me nauseous) and losing my hearing for a couple of days. I can finally hear a little better now.
Cheer: We finally got a new couch. OK well a new couch to us, Steven's grandparents gave it to us. The futon finally had to go. It was so broke that it was starting to damage the floor.
Jeer: My car is broke. The muffler needs replaced I believe and my check engine light came on tonight, I hope that it is related to the muffler issue.
Cheer: Our wedding is less than 5 months away. I cannot wait for it to be here and I cannot wait to go on vacation afterward :)

When it rains it pours...
Luckily for me, this time it's pouring good things!
- I have been given a job as a Pre-K teacher. It isn't full time, but it's close. (30 hrs a week) And it is in the age group that I LOVE!
- I got a random phone call today from a Methodist Church in Swanton..they wanted me to be their Preschool teacher. Had it been a month ago that I got the call I would have jumped on it, but it's only for a month and a half and it's only about 15 hours a week. Sadly I had to turn it down.
- Steven received a random check in the mail yesterday from his school stuff. Apparently they still owed him some money. It was very unexpected, but we were very grateful.
- Steven's papaw also got to come home from the hospital yesterday. He was only supposed to be in there for a couple of days but it turned into nearly 2 weeks! Everyone is glad to have him home and happy to see him doing better.
- We went to a church last weekend that we enjoyed and plan to go back on Sunday. I hope this can be "the one" yet again.
- Wedding things aren't really moving much. I feel like I haven't worked on anything at all, but I'm not really stressed about them either.

What's New?
That is a good question. A lot and nothing all at the same time would be the answer I suppose.
Church: Due to differences of opinion, lack of support, and hurt feelings I no longer have the same respect for our church. I don't enjoy going like I used to and I seriously am second guessing wanting to be there. It breaks my heart all at the same time and I can't quite cut the strings yet. It is actually very upsetting to see it all turn out this way. It was so perfect in the beginning and I was so happy and it turned so quick and I seriously feel like I've lost parts of my family.
Wedding: Because of the above topic the place for our wedding is also in question. If we leave the church where will we get married? I have absolutely no idea at the moment. This is ridiculously stressful for me and I worry about it a lot. Other than that though everything is going really well with the plans.
Work: I still don't have a full time job, but I've been subbing at the Children's Discovery Center in Holland. It isn't my absolute dream job, but I feel very comfortable there and feel like I am supposed to be there. I work practically everyday for at least a few hours and some days (like today) I work from 7 in the morning until 6 at night! It definitely is helping to ease my worries about working.
Finances: Money is definitely flying out faster than it is coming in right now. I still have money set aside from TMC that I did plan to spend in my budget, but I just hate the thought of having to move it into my checking account. I don't want to touch it, so instead I keep depositing little bits here and there hoping that they balance out enough to get me through.
Prayers: Steven and I both need a lot of prayers right now for many different things and I trust that I can count on many of you to put in a good word for us :)
