So with everything that has been going on around here Pat and I are going up to Browns Camp this Saturday for the day to ride quads with some friends. I can't wait. We need some time to ourselves with out the kids, and not having to think about everything that is going on around here for just one afternoon. I can't wait to open my 700 Raptor up full throttle and just release everything from my mind for the day.
Now if I could just get the new puppy to stop chewing on everything she shouldn't then we will be good:) but that's a puppy for ya.
Also got some good news it looks like my brother-in-law will be able to buy our 67 Airstreem trailer from us. So with the money from that and Pats health and tool allowece that he is getting next month we will be able to knock out all our stupid little debts that we have, and pay off a big chunk on the motorcycle that we owe as well. From there we are hoping to have an easier time selling the motorcycle since we will owe less on it. Once that is gone then we will be in great shape as far as our debts go. Which is a good thing since we are hopping to buy a house some time in the next year. So the less debt we have going into buy a house the better off we will be.
It's not easy being a one income family but we make it work. I love staying at home with my kids and playing with them, even if they do make me want to pull my hair out most days, and watching them grow and learn. So for us to buy a house with one income will not be easy but we can make it work. With hard work, dedication to our debts and getting them paid off and not making anymore, and buying a house we know we can afford will helps us in the end. But the most important part of all of this is prayer. Prayer is what has gotten us to where we are today, prayer is what is bringing us through these hard and trying times right now. With out trust in God and prayer who knows where we would be at.
Some people think that God does not answer prayers but I know for a fact that he does. My daughter is proof that God hears and answers prayers. I can remember laying in bed every night before I fell asleep praying that God would bless me with a healthy baby girl, now for those of you who do not know, Peyton is the first girl in 63 years on Pat's side of the family. So we feel very blessed to have her, and that is also why her middle name is Faith, because we had faith in God that he would bless us with a little princess. Even though she is WAY more of a handful than her brother any day, we are still very blessed. We also know what God would never give us more than we can handle. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
With God all things are possible, with out God nothing is possible.
