.....it's amazing the difference 6 years can make.
6 years ago Thursday, we thought our financial world had come to an end. Today, it was a beginning.
Bryan found out today that he got the promotion he had applied and interviewed for.
Looking back now, over the struggles and hardships that we have faced, I am pretty sure that it was God's way of training me. He said, learn how to make it this way and I may make it less stressful on you in the future. Hopefully the future is here. I have learned how to make it on less, and make it ok. I am EXTREMELY proficient in coupon shopping, I don't pay full price for anything and I can squeeze a penny until you see Lincoln's profile on the other side.
Hopefully, a majority of the financial struggles are behind us, but the memories are there to remind us.
God doesn't give you anything you can't handle and everything is His plan.
Congratulations, Bryan! I love you very much and am very proud of you!

Pretty Good Last Day!
....it's the last day of my 34th year, and it was pretty good!
Got a good review at work and a good raise for the year.
Bryan's interview at work for his promotion went well.
I have the love and support of fantastic family and friends.
My family and my friends are all healthy and (mostly) happy. I am thankful for that!
The last year may not have been completely to my liking, however, as I always say, God doesn't give you anything you cannot handle and He's got a plan, we just have to stick to it!
As I begin the 6th anniversary of my 29th birthday I need to keep all of the above in mind.
To my family:
Bryan - I love you more every day. We've been together for over 14 years and have been through a lot. It was all a learning experience and I know we and our relationship are stornger for all of it.
Pam - You are the light of my life and the sunshine of my day. You tell me often that God gave you to the right mommy and daddy; and I tell you that He gave mommy and daddy the right baby. Keep growing and learning and we will keep helping and supporting. I love you more than life itself.
Mom and Dad - Thank you so much for all of your love and support (in more ways than one). I hope that I have grown into the woman that you wanted me to be and that you are proud. It takes good parents to make good kids, so I think you did a good job if I do say so myself :)
To my friends:
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I don't know if I would have made it through all of the rough patches that have been and are yet to come without the shoulders to cry on, the arms to hug and the ears to listen. I love you all!
