This says very little about our life since Christmas...
Many of you may know that we never sold our first home, but have it as a rental. We look forward to the day we sell it or may actually make some headway on paying down the mortgage, but it has been wonderful for the most part. Our renter gave us the heads up that she and her family would be moving out right before Christmas. Of course we were already stressed with the holidays and getting everything done, but this was icing on the cake.
Christmas came and went, it was wonderful. The kids enjoyed every minute of helping with Christmas breakfast, opening presents, and the clean up afterwards.
New Years' wasn't anything special, I had to work and we got to bed early...I guess as you get older you wish that the days wouldn't pass by as fast as they do. So I guess I was sticking it to the start of 2009.
4 days later, Johnny got laid off from work. I am sure I developed some sort of ulcer from all the stress going on in my life. I am so very grateful for the Dave Ramsey financial program which we have been doing for the past almost year. We felt confident we could make it for a little while if Johnny wasn't able to find something quickly. Work didn't give any reason except that they were cutting back the work force...This statement is complete BS, because they called Johnny to come in for an interview 2 weeks later. What a joke, and even though it is terrible that he lost that job, he is now home every day.
That is why I have been absent from the blogging world. I have just not had the energy to blog about our life since there really isn't anything exciting going on. Just eating up our food storage and praying something really great comes along for Johnny.
Anyway, we are all healthy and happy...so that is my main focus...until I post again!

Oh April, I am so sorry! That sounds like a rough few months...but I have to say, I love that you were totally optimistic! I hope things get better for you guys!
Hang in there, girl!! We love you guys!
You both are very strong and devoted to your family. You will do what ever it takes to keep going forward. I am very proud of both of you. You seem to have a lot going for you already by using Dave Ramsey. I also look forward to the sale of the Townhouse as there will be less stress in your already busy lives. Love to all
I didn't know that Johnny lost his job. Are you guys ok? These times are crazy!!! I have missed hearing from you. I agree with your mom, April, you both are very strong and such good parents. Your in our prayers. We love you guys. Hugs and kisses from the fam.
Wow! Thankfully the lord doesn't give us more than we can handle. I would have to agree that you are both strong people and you will definately get through this. We will keep you in our prayers.
