Five and half long years

For the past five and half years since Lee graduated he has either be unemployed or under employed.While we were grateful for the job he had  Lee wasn't doing real accounting.  Today that all ended.  Lee was offered a job that will pay more then what is making now and he will be doing "real" accounting.   With his raise and my new job we should be able to make some traction on our debt.  I figured out a rough budget based on what I think Lee will be bringing home and did some rearranging of who pays what bills and I am feeling so blessed.  We are so thrilled with the opportunity we have been given and I don't want to waste the "extra" money. Lee starts the 22nd.  His last day at Mirco100 will be the 18th.  Worked out well he doesn't have to work his birthday.

My new job is on hold due to BHU HR.  For some reason the paperwork stalled there.  Everybody else has signed off and is in agreement. My soon to be new boss is getting frustrated. Although maybe it all works out and I will just start the first of the year.   

We are feeling on top of the world and this is seriously such a great move for Lee's career.  I am so proud of him and I know how hard it has been for him to keep applying for jobs and going to interviews.  It all paid off.

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things.

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...
