blessed

Brett and I are extremely blessed in our lives. The past few months have been really tough financially for everyone including us. There have been some problems with Brett's job which has lead to him not getting paid for the past two months with no light in the near future. We had planned on going to Kansas for the Christmas holidays so I could see my family and we could drive down to Oklahoma to see all my friends. I was so excited which I think right now is the biggest disappointment. I can live without the Christmas tree or the expensive present but family and friends are just one of those things that are hard to not have for the holidays.

Through all this there have been so many blessing poured into our lives. Brett was able to find some work at a high end men's clothing store. His boss is an extremely gracious man who has basically told Brett he can work when ever he wants. Along with this Brett was also able to pick up a couple hours a week working for Banana Republic. This is extra money and gives us a sweet discount which also includes Gap and Old Navy. Because Brett was able to find temporary work so quickly we are managing to scrap by. We are lucky to be young and healthy and be able to work hard.

We have also been immensely blessed with continual friendships up here. So many people have been brought into our lives lately who we have really connected with and truly enjoy being around. It is so nice to once agian have plans and people to meet up with on a regular basis.

This has been a week of blessing both big and small and Brett and I are truly thankful.
