Waiting

Mark had an interview yesterday in Huntsville, Alabama.  We aren't sure what to think about moving to Alabama, but it seems inevitable. See, there is pesky thing called eating and apparently you have to do it in regular intervals or the outcome is deadly.  HA!  Anyway, we expect to hear from them soon.  At least that is what they told Mark.  
The company is a secure facility and Mark has to have his security clearance reinstated. Hopefully this doesn't take months if they want to hire him because he can not start until this is done. They make rockets, Mark said "rockets are cool."  I think he would like the job.  The security is so strict you can't take a cell phone or thumb drive to work!  

They paid for him to fly there, stay the night and paid for a rental car.  They are also sending him a check for mileage (to and from the airport) and food.  CRAZY!  So different than what we have experienced in the past five months.  Mark also learned yesterday if they do hire him there they will give him $10,000 to move.  I guess it will help pay to move that "BABY" grand piano.  I am thinking it won't last as long as I hope.  First and last months rent, moving trucks, etc.  
Mark already has a friend willing to use his time off of work to help us drive a moving truck up. That is a true friend! Someone willing to use their vacation to help you.  God is good!  I am so very blessed everyday by my friends. 

All that to say we might be moving but for now we wait some more.....

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...

Intentional Spending

I first want to say I am not cheap!  I don't buy the cheapest item just because I want to save money.  I do like finding a good deal on things that are high quality.  I don't like sacrificing quality for price.  I try to never pay full price for anything.   When I say our spending it intentional what I mean is that Mark and I sit down around November and hash out the budget.  Some things are constants in the budget.  Mortgage, phone, insurance pretty much stay the same.  Some vary like gas, water, electric.  After years of budgeting we can average out what we spent the year before and add if needed to the new budget.   Here is what we do know we have to pay something first so they go in the budget first.  Then what is "leftover" is up for dividing.  This is not a fool proof plan. Medical never gets budgeted enough money.  Which is why you should have a savings account.  Every category gets a set amount of money tha...
