| OK so heres an update on us.
Matthew is currently working on finishing up his resume so he can start applying for jobs in Colorado Springs. He has two amazing people who are helping him create a stellar resume. The goal is to hopefully try and finish it this week, and if not next week at the latest.
I am still working from home for DHS, I also do home shows for Premier and a couple others...I get the most interest with Premier right now though, cause their stuff is fabulous and inexpensive and with the economy the way it is currently people don't have much extra spending money but girls always need new jewelry :) I love it. I love working from home.
I have been spending my free time looking up housing in Colorado Springs and how much it will cost us to move.
Currently I HATE the price of moving, maybe that will change the closer we get to the moving date? I might be able to find some discounts or something but right now we're looking at 1200 bucks just for a moving vehicle...yuck, yeah and 1200 bucks we don't have so I guess it will have to go on a credit card or borrowed from someplace....anyone want to convoy it? lol
Also not liking many of the rent prices right now, so we're praying that the right place opens up for us that is more within our price range (so we're not spending 900 bucks a month on rent) Cause you know we'd like to be able to save money, pay off school loans and go on a honeymoon this summer...and buy a house... :)
Matthew is graduating...well walking next weekend and he finishes in 5 weeks!!! yea! We're both REALLY glad he's almost done with school and look forward to having a more "normal" life soon, once we get moved and settled in anyway.
Keep us in your prayers, Pray that Matthew has doors open with jobs and he finds the right one. Pray we find the right apartment and we can figure out this moving thing :) I mean honestly I could just get rid of most of our furniture, its garage sale stuff that basically keeps us from sitting on the floor but then...we'd have no furniture in COS lol and I wouldn't be able to garage sale it here I'd have to just throw it out....anyway. Also pray that COS is where God wants us. We've been praying about it a lot and still are leaving the door open for Texas but Matthew and I are both starting to feel more at peace about COS and it seems like there's TONS of computer jobs readily available in COS... | | |
| Up until a year or so ago I despised pretty much all country music but this song has such a great message I can't get enough of it.
Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone
Another new mom and dad,another school
Another house that'll never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
"This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this is my
Temporary Home."
Young mom on her own
She needs a little help got nowhere to go
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
Because a half-way house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we'll find a place here in this world
This is our temporary home
It's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know this is our
Temporary Home.
Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don't cry for me
I'll see you all someday
He looks up and says "I can see God's face"
"This is my temporary Home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This was just a stop,on the way To where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this was
My temporary home."
This is our temporary home

| life update
So here's my life update...since I haven't done one in a while and some of you are probably just burning with curiosity lol...
We're not going to Alumni weekend. Very sad. We hoped to go but decided to be realistic about finances so unless someone else paid our way to get there... yea not happening.
We're moving after Matthew graduates in December...well technically he graduates in November..even though classes don't finish until December don't ask me why...so he'd still "graduate" even if he failed his classes and found out he had to stay at school longer..which we're praying doesn't happen, and I'm confident he will graduate and do great :)
its freezing..yes its freezing...currently we're getting sleet outside..fun..yeah SO looking forward to the possibility of moving to warmer climates! This kind of weather just KILLS my knee.
We don't know where we're moving to yet, we keep going back and forth between two places mostly, One seems to have waaaaaaay more computer tech jobs available than the other..especially more stuff Matthew is interested in doing but until he starts applying for jobs we won't be able to make any set decision. Either way the states we're looking at aren't being hurt by the economy it seems like and since Michigan is the WORST state off out of everyone even if we moved to a state that was getting hurt by the economy it would likely be better than staying here! Since its pushing November soon though I'm hoping we can start making more set plans as far as what is happening come Jan..All we know right now is we can't stay where we're at. so even if we can't move right away we still have to move..lol
