I 'm gonna be a mama

That's right everyone heard that correctly. I am going to be a mama. I have a wonderful little alien growing inside my belly. I am having all sorts of crazy symptoms but its ok because in the end it will be all worth it. I will keep you updated as I go to my first dr appt and so on. Greg is ecstatic to become a daddy!

In other news, Greg got the job and has started working already. He is so excited and can not wait to get up every morning to go. I have continued to look for a job but so far no luck. Oh well, there is something out there for me, I just haven't found it yet.

This is going to be a small, short post but I did want to say that my parents both mom, dad, step-dad and step-mom are thrilled they are going to be grandparents. My grandma cannot wait to be a great-grandma and Greg's dad was so excited. This baby will have the best most spoiling family in the world.

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Jobs Where Are You? Come Find Me Please!!

Still no signs of jobs for either of us. Good news is Greg can collect unemployment so at this point out of the two of us I would rather be the one to get a job. At least then we would have 2 incomes and his will last until next July which is good.

We are however incredibly depressed and at an all time low emotionally but at an all time high of our relationship. We have for so long lived on so little, that living on nothing isn't much different. I hear people complaining about their jobs that get them $40,000 a year. I would kill to make them. I don't know what I would do! I would feel like I was rich!! I don't understand why I feel this way but I do. If I made that and Greg made that we would be out of debt and living quite comfortably. But nope we are used to making a combined income of $25,000 or less so I suppose no money isn't much different.

We are getting things done around the house and are thinking of putting together a list of things we might be able to sell. I have a right he gave me that I don't wear anymore and he is thinking about selling his watch. I have also flirted with idea of selling my wedding dress. I don't want to but if it pays rent this month I will. I also might sell my coach purses but not sure yet! Is it something I want to do, no but it will take care of my family and that is what matters to me.

Please keep is both in you prayers. I will keep you updated on things going on. Thanks! Encouraging word are welcomed!

What Doesn't Kill Us Just Makes Us Stronger

The statement above is so true to my life right now. Greg and I have had the worst last few months since our wedding but then 2 weeks everything has been so wonderful between us. We just seem to be more understanding of each other. Everything seems so good right now. Even with the loss of my job 2 weeks ago and now Greg's 2 days ago I just have a feeling that everything is going to be okay. As long as we are together I don't care what happens. Things aren't better with certain areas but those things and people don't run our lives and who we are as a married couple. We are making more decisions together and trusting more in each other. I think that certain area's are just gonna suck sometimes and that is something we can't help, like jobs, finances, family and friends. Do I sometimes wish that there were things that could be changed? Of course, any normal human would but that isn't how God intended us to live. At this point we have to trust in Him. Tuesday when Greg came home after getting laid off, 2 hours later a company called for him to interview today. That had to be God, there was not way anyone could have timed that more perfectly. I feel so blessed and fortunate to be with such a fantastic man who cares so much about me and to make sure I am always taken care of, even if he has to sacrifice something for himself to do it.

In other news, we are getting things better done up around our apartment including some great curtains I made and replaced the horrible vertical blinds with. I have a lot of married friends who are pregnant and I want to congradulate them. I just wanted to sort of updated everyone on all things Meg and Greg. My grandma who has a staph infection is doing so much better. My wonderful husband is getting over a strep infection in his colon but is doing so much better. And other than that we are just enjoying our time together. Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of your week and stay safe through the weekend! Maybe I will make new curtains for our bedroom LOL!!
