Loving My Life

Every day I try to find one thing to be positive about, even on my worst day. Lately, I feel that this has been paying off for me. I lead a very blessed life and I do realize that, even as I complain about things out of my control. For a while, all I could feel and think about were negative things at work. Business is slow and sporadic at best. At this point, I'm just happy if people walk in the door and that I still have a job. I am thankful that all my 'trouble' customers have decided to back off for the time being. I hope that I can continue this positive attitude because I feel more relaxed at home.

Brad's been a little stressed lately as his car died and we had to purchase a new one for him. Then this week, the master cylinder died on the truck, effectively killing my brakes and nearly getting me in severe trouble. The master cylinder had a slow leak over the last several months and the rear driver's side brake line had a leak as well. Can you say pedal meet floor? That's what happened. I'm lucky I didn't kill myself driving to the repair shop. The time has come that I really must start putting money in the bank for the down payment on a new car. I am probably going to have to buy a new one for Christmas.

We had been hoping of maybe moving closer to family this fall, but it does not look as though that is going to happen. We are a little bummed, but we have not entirely given up hope. We want to be close to family and friends when we start our family and buy our home. At this point, we are looking at it as an opportunity to put away money for the house and help pay for our wedding.

I am so happy for all of our friends that are expecting new little ones in their lives. I can't wait for us to start a family after we buy our home. I'm much pickier than I used to be about a home and I hope that I can have what I really want when it is deemed time for me to have it.

I can't wait until July when I can really start getting down and dirty about wedding planning.

Stay tuned!
