1) No more CHHS. I have my moments of panic telling myself "why did you resign??" and "this has been your home for so many years!" I get the twinge of jealousy as I prepare what's going to be an awesome year next year, just as things are settling down for me as head director, for a NEW head director to come in and claim the success for themself. Those are MY kids! Geez. Pride much? Wow, I think it's gonna be a humbling thing to not be "in charge" for once! Still, it's also nerve-wrecking to not have my income...
2) The job I thought I had in the bag with Wells Fargo fell through. Haven't heard a word. My contact there said that an internal person claimed the job - and internal always gets preference. Makes sense I suppose. Still, that means no income from Amy...
3) Matt's starting his real estate venture. He finally got his license last week and is starting with a company in the next week or 2. As exciting and full of potential as that is, it's scary not knowing how much money we're actually going to bring in...
4) House NOT for sale. Mortgage laws have changed. I suppose this country needed to do something about people getting loans that they can't pay for (have you seen the foreclosure rates?), but that means also that since Matt will be "self employed" and I have no job after June 5th we also can't buy a house. So, we took the house off the market. :( I'm so sad about this because we had already found a house that we loved in Keller and my mind (typically) had already moved. I longed for that big kitchen, 2nd bathroom and a garage! I'm thankful we have a home though. Guess I'll be preparing this one for baby...
I guess those are the biggies. On a happy note, though, I had my 17 week appointment today and baby's heartbeat was strong! Everything is looking up in that department! And I'm finally starting to show... 4 months in!
So, we may not have ANY idea what God's doing with us at the moment, but I'm comforted to know I can trust Him to work everything out.
