i’m back for a bit ~ we’re just adjusting this week!
last week was sure a whirlwind, moving ans starting a new job. it feels so strange to be in a home over 25% smaller, knowing we could’ve stayed where we were. but to save money so we’ll be able to get out of debt, have some savings set aside for healthcare & urgent needs, and give more to people or causes…it’s worth it. yeah, it’s cramped, it’s louder without carpet, but it’s freeing…and pretty dang cute!! for now, i’m writing from the hutto public library!…but i’ll post a picture or video as soon as we’re set up with internet again.
bray’s favorite thing about the new house is his clubhouse (really just a shed). i gotta admit, it’s way better to see a happy doggie greet us thru our backyard fence, li’l cottontail bunnies hopping around our green grass & cute geckos scurrying around (rather than seeing florescent parking lights shine over a carwash & fast food place). our new house is quaint & adorable.
big props to my hubs for staying alongside me in this effort to make wiser choices w/how we spend our time & money. oh, yeah – dave ramsey, too. it’s jaw-dropping to see the change in his spending habits from when we first got married. we’ve made some mistakes & some sacrifices too, & thru them, God has given us lots of opportunities to bless people and grow.
i honestly cannot wait to watch him work in our lives even more, now that we’ll have a little extra money from the downsize & our careers. HE’s gettin’ every drop of credit. gotta love him.
