It's not even been a month

Quick update: we have found a house, made an offer, and are well on our way to closing the deal in a mere two weeks! Now just let me catch my breath......much better. Yes, at this point I do need to remind myself to breathe, but I'm hoping this is just a temporary thing. Oh my gosh I am so excited!

AND...(yes it gets better) I found out today that I got a job! Well, I actually found out last week they wanted to hire me and so went in this morning to hammer out the details. Based on the interview I was thinking this would be a good part time job, but I would want to find another job (say a once a week babysitting gig) to help with the new financial tightness we are about to enter. BUT I get there and the HR lady is all "I think we would want you at least 30 hours maybe 40 a week". I about busted out of my seat, but was able to contain myself and say "that's great!". PLUS the position would pay almost $3/hr more than the one I originally applied for. Can't get much better than that =) So I am happy and looking forward to paying off that student loan one paycheck at a time (sad world when all of the money you make goes to "student loan land").

Other than that we have had the pleasure of a mini reunion with many of our camp friends. Labor day weekend had us traveling to HoneyRock (where we met!) for some friends' wedding. Great times and beautiful. Actually, one of the best times of the year to be in the northwoods.

Neile is really starting to enjoy his new job....good thing now that we are about to be house owners ;) and I have been able to do a lot of legwork done at home. We're already starting in with our old small group and I am in the process of deciding on another Bible study. Have I mentioned how great it is to be back home? Yeah, it's nice. :) Oh and in a few weeks we'll be celebrating our 5 year reunion for college! That definitely makes me feel older. Oh well. It is beautiful outside and feels like fall so there isn't much that can get me down today.
