Don't worry, I'm not going to preach to you. I am going to express my sure happiness lately and I owe it to actually giving all my worries to God. I just sat down one night and decided to just put it all in his hands. And I've been a much happier girl since. And other aspects of our lives are just clicking...finally. I just got tired of being tired and stressed and just well lazy. So I did something about it. I'm not the girl you see in church every Sunday by any means but I do have a strong Faith. I believe. And for the first time in a long time, I had to choose to lean on that belief and it has been so uplifting. It shows a bit as well I think in Haley - she's behaving better at school. And I'm totally open to walking every night when we get home - the whole 1/4 mile to see the horse. At least I'm getting up and out.
Jason and I have started cleaning up our credit and it hasn't been half as bad and I thought it would be. It absolutely sucks when the companies you are working with call your in-laws house instead of your own stirring up all kinds of mis-informative rumors. But rest assured - these are good calls. We are in the home stretch - we've cleared up 2 things that were just bogging our credit (and I have the beautiful letters confirming they've been paid and cleared off our credit) and our final indiscretion will be cleared up the final week of March. Debt Free feels soooo good. Now we just have to focus on building it back up now that it's cleared. Putting this worry in Gods hands has made me really handle this task so much better than I thought I could and the fact that we could just take care of it was such a great feeling. Our parents should be so proud of us!
And with everything that my Dad is going thru and how I could just completely fall apart if I let myself, I consciously made the decision to just put those worries in Gods hands and I have been so surprised with myself at how I've handled things so far. It helps to have other things to focus on but to be strong for him is a great feeling.
And - I know, not one more and! - I've just not been happy at work either. But I think I've got a plan for that too.
Did I mention we are going to WDW in just 41 days! Does that say 41 days? Holy Crap! We got our official welcoming letter last night. Came in a really cool two pocket envelope with one side holding some pocket sized maps, a card to keep our reservation numbers on, and a card explaining all our benefits we get to enjoy by staying on the resort. Then the other side had a 4 page letter highlighting all the magic we could enjoy during our trip with pictures personalized to our vacation including the hotel we be at and the Flowers & Garden show that will be going on during our stay. I've been on the look out for some really cool, comfortable shoes and I may have found them:
Are these the cutest things ever! Found them here. Might have to get the tan ones - not sure just how much Pink I'll be wearing - usually lots but I'm afraid with my complexion and all the sunlight I might just fade away in the pictures.
Speaking of Dad - this is his first week at home after retiring...I give it a few weeks before he's part of the morning crew of guys that eat breakfast at the little store each morning - His picture is next on the wall, I can feel it!
*The little store in my parents town has all the little old guys pictures on the wall that live in the town and visit the store often for all the juicy town gossip. They have their own set of table they kindly share with the public and then there's Bob - our good friend Bob - who has more pictures than anyone of every huge catfish he's caught. I believe his biggest was almost 95lbs.
