Blessed

My husband and I have been in such awe and wonder at what has been happening in our lives lately. It's strange to think that nearly a month ago, our car was stolen. Stranger still to realize that this was not as bad a thing as we had thought. Our car was in good enough shape that the insurance company offered over $3,000 for the title of our stolen car. Enough to go get a car, make the repairs necessary, and help pay off the remaining balance in my husband's account at NWC so he doesn't have to take out a private loan. God is so good! It just goes to show you that even bad things that seem like they can't possibly be happening for a reason, always really happen for the best of those whom God loves. It's so true.

So now we have our Monte Carlo, which is a car that I've always admired, and after a few more repairs it may actually be better than our last car (although, it will never have better gas mileage!). But next time, we're not going with a sports car. We feel like punk kids, but it's fun for now. Someday we'll have kids and have to drive real grown-up cars, so I'll just go ahead and enjoy this one!

 

Our "punk kid" car.

I'm getting very excited for Christmas, and to have a whole week free of work and school. I already have all of our Christmas presents wrapped and under the tree.

Mr. Wonderful will be using the time to find a job. He's finally seen the light that though I have a good job, it's not going to be enough in the long haul. He's not lazy, but I think our move was a little overwhelming for the both of us. It was quite the adjustment, and he's very serious about getting good grades. Now that he's had some time to adjust and figure out some time management plans, (and to see our bank account fluctuate more than the DOW), he's ready for his search for a part-time job. We're both excited for this chapter in life to be over. You know, the school part. But we're trying to savor it while it's here. Pray for us!

Blog #24, done! Happy hump-day. Finish the week strong.
