Never Fails

Just as you think you're getting somewhere or everything is going great, life has to show you that it's impossible to have everything headed in the right direction.

My husband was in an accident yesterday.  Our truck is more than likely going to be a total loss.  It wasn't my husband's fault, which is the good news.  The other driver pulled out in front of him and my husband had no time to stop nor had anywhere to go but into the other car's side.  But the bad news, is that we got the truck we have because we deiced we didn't want 2 car payments.  So we sold are really nice truck to get this one.  We knew the truck we were getting was dependable because it was from my parents, and my husband is only the 3rd owner.  So although it was 18 years old, it only had 118,000 miles!  But now, we're going to get maybe a couple grand from the truck to get something else and well, we still don't want 2 car payments.  So it's either, get another payment and get something we know will be a good ride, or get something old (again) and HOPE that it's a good vehicle and we won't have to pour money into it.  UGH! 

So we'll see what the Adjuster says when they call today or Monday.  Until then I'll be picking up a rental car tomorrow.

But it's Friday, the sun is out (almost) and it should be warm, I'm inside so I don't really know at the moment, so I'm thankful that today is here.  Epically thankful that my husband came out of the accident with only some bruises and pretty nasty cuts.  And somehow we always make it through things, I know this is because God is watching out for us and we trust in Him to take care of us. 

Hello Spring!

Yeah it's been a couple weeks since I wrote...but I haven't had  too much on my mind.  Life has been good though.  I had an interview 2 weeks ago, I think it went well, but I know it's not the job i want.  So I'm kinda hoping they don't call :)  But I've been plugging away and submitting my resume to everywhere I think I would be happy and provide for my family.

Yesterday...was GORGEOUS!!  The weather has finally made it's way back into the 70's (80's today!) and was awesome.  My sitter called out on me, which ended up not being so bad.  I was super exhausted anyway and since it was so nice, I didn't mind.  My baby girl and I spent some time and ate lunch at the park.  She loved it, as much at a 6 month old can.  I'm super excited to watch her try new things.  Seeing her develop day by day and the expressions she get on her face just melt my heart and make me so proud.  Being a mother is without a doubt the best feeling a person could possible have.  You truly don't know the love of a parent until you become one. 

I'm looking forward to the weekend, since it's supposed to be nice again I'm thinking about taking her to her first parade.  Sure she won't understand what's going on but she loves just watching people do things.  It almost seems as though she studies your every move.  So having her in public and watching her taking it all in makes for a good time.

But until then, I'll be slaving away here at my desk just watching the students walk by enjoying the day from the side of the wall I wish I was on.
