Well, it simply has been forever since I posted. This has been a VERY busy summer for me and I am looking forward to the school year where my days are routine based and somewhat predictable...somewhat. I will give an update on my husband's job search but first, some exciting news! Several weeks ago, I had an infection and went on an antibiotic and SUPPRISE...baby #4 is on the way in only 81/2 months! That's right, I am just barely pregnant! Oh, did I mention that I am in my little sister's wedding on October 6th! I have a tendency to "blossom" quickly (hips spread, breasts grow, belly rounds) I am hoping that God will be kind enough to prolong all of that until October 7th, the day after the wedding. I guess I will be eating a lot of salad and drinking a lot of water between now and then in hopes of warding the pregnancy figure so that I can fit into the already-altered dress! I AM NOT one of "those women" who never look pregnant until they turn around and you see the cute little basket ball belly. No no no, that's not me! Although I have friends who are lucky enough to have one of those adorablely cute pregnant bodies, I resemble a walking mac truck! My husband is sweet enough to tell me that I overreact, but I know the truth! Next...THE UPDATE! Jeff applied for a job at the local carpenters union in Lexington. We are praying that he gets contacted quickly. Our goal was for me to be home permanently by November 16th. With #4 on the way we have got to get some bills paid down quickly and do some light remodeling to the homestead. Please pray for us...at this point we are between a rock and a hard place. I cannot work because we can't continue to afford child care, yet my husband cannot pay the bills by himself on what he is making now. He needs a better paying job, and he is so talented and such a perfectionist that anyone who hired him would have a wonderful and loyal employee. We are praying for a door to open up...and soon. Sometimes I quickly forget that "in my time" is not necessarily " in God's time". Usually, it is me who is WAY off...but I only see that after the fact. |
