Well, it has been a rough time since I posted last. When I got back from CA, my plant manager and our purchasing manager were let go. Budget cuts and all that. Ben is a wonderful man though and like family so he has been greatly missed. The new plant manager is a different breed and not sure yet if that is good or not. I have had a lot of additional responsibilities added to my already full plate and have been really stressed at work. Then two weeks ago, Matt lost his job. He has been looking but the market is horrible and with the teens out of school, even the "tide us over" type jobs are filled. Don't know what we are going to do. Since that time, my car needed repairs to the tune of $600 and now we are sitting in our sauna because last night, our air conditioner decided to quit working. With temps in the 90's today, it has not been pleasant. Poor Peyton just fell asleep because she was so miserable and can't understand.
So, anyway, not to leave all of this on a sour note, I have been trying to take a page from Ben's book and putting my faith in the Lord. I know that he has a plan and that he will provide. And to quote one of our favorite movies, Finding Nemo, we are just going to "keep swimmin', swimmin', just keep swimmin' Looking on the brighter side of things, here are my thankfuls:
1. With the greater responsibilities at work, I was able to finally get my raise.
2. Matt has been home and able to get the kids when I have had to work late.
3. My tires did not blow out and the car was safe long enough for us to get it in and get it fixed.
4. I was able to wear my bikini today to stay cool that I swore I would never wear again. lol
5. My IL's and my parents have been wonderful about helping with whatever we need.
6. Ceiling fans and desktop fans are wonderful things.
7. I am living on faith and it has been amazing. For all the things that have been going wrong, everyday God shows in some little way his mercy and Love and I praise him for all that is good in my life. I know that I am being tested and with His strength will come out on the other side a better person.
For those that are still reading after another long absence, thanks for sticking with me. I hope to get back to regular posting again soon. Say a prayer for us. Know that we are strong. And thanks for all you do.

It is so interesting how life works out. Sometime God tries to deliver a message and we just don't hear it..that it takes a life stopping event..or course of events in your case, for you to realize what HE is saying. It has happened so many times to me! SO many times..as we are in the midst of one right now! Let me know if you need anything!

(((Katie))) Girl, you know I am right there with you! I swear you and I are living parts of the same life sometimes. We always seem to land on our feet though. We are trying to scrape money together for our landlord- I had to list the kids Little Tikes Playground on Craigslist tonight, someone is coming to buy it tomorrow. It kills me to do it, because the kids still play on it, and Matt's mom bought it years ago when Sam & Davy ( Matt's nephew) were little, but we've got to do what we need to do. Hang in there, things will start looking up soon.
