My Husband Rocks Friday

-
I really have to brag on Matt this week. By the way, this idea came from here...it's not original but I wish I would have thought of it!
My hubby has really worked his tail off this week. Just recently Matt has become more involved in our finances. Not that he didn't care before but now we are on the same page and both aware of our money...or lack thereof. We have become more accountable to each other on what we are spending and sticking to our budget like never before. We've both known that my car has been our biggest headache. The payments were eating our lunch, for real. It was leased (very bad idea for a real estate agent) and I rolled over some not so pretty negative equity from my Lexus (also not a good idea even if you aren't a real estate agent). We knew it was inevitable that we were going to have to let the Honda go, but not without putting up some dough. We put it up for sale a few months ago not having a clue what we would do if someone bought it. We would be without wheels and we knew we couldn't get what we owed on it by a long shot. This was a matter for God to handle. I know my husband has been on his knees praying about this situation for the last few months. I, on the other hand, have been gritching about how I'm not going to have a car anymore and we are going to be so broke and now I'm not going to be able to work because I won't have a car...blah blah blah, wah wah. So, Matt has taken on some side jobs that have kept him working until 11pm some nights and he gets right back up the next day and is out the door at 6 am to do it all over again. I haven't seen him all week and I know he is exhausted. Well, today we said goodbye to my Honda. I'm not sure how it all worked out but I'm sure my husband and my heavenly father had something everything to do with it. Not only did we get what we were asking but we also have a borrowed car for the next few months(thank you Aunt Phyllis) while we work to get a vehicle. I really never have appreciated my husbands desire to take care of his family. He does it without complaining and without expectations.
Thank you Matt for loving us the way you do.
You Rock!

LOVE,
your girls

Tonight I tucked in my sweet 2 year old son for the last time. Tomorrow he will be 3.  My second born, my baby for a while.  For the first time ever, he asked me to lay beside him as he went to sleep tonight.  I had a million other things on my mind and dirty dishes from supper calling my name.  I took him up on his offer and my heart was blessed indeed.  I laid there and thought about how my first born wanted me to lay beside her every night, I had to often tell her no because I knew it would just prolong her going to sleep.  It's sad really that your first child gets way more attention than the second.  It's true. No longer is it just one on one, now I am outnumbered and have to find a way to give more of myself. Now add #3 and it's just a circus. Nathan is my sweet loving little boy. Full of life and curiosity.  Looking for the next opportunity to do something he's not supposed to.  In one minute he can destroy a room and melt my heart....

Garland Party

The Nesting Place is hosting this great party with lots of really cool garland ideas, I LOVE this site. Since we are going to be in Florida for Christmas this year, and our townhouse is too small for our tree, I decided to have fun with this garland idea . I took two strands of lighted garland that I bought 2 years ago from an after Christmas sale at Michaels and twisted them together. Then I headed over to Hobby Lobby where they had all of their floral stems on sale for 50% off. I also added some things from around the house that I had. This was the only place I could find to put the garland so excuse the big fat TV in view. However, my sweet hubby did build me a mantle over the weekend and it should be up and functional in a few days. I'll repost my new and improved garland complete with my mantel tomorrow. Anyway, enjoy and check out Nesting Place for more fun!
