This has been a very difficult week for me. I have been packing next week we will be moving out of our rental home of 7 years. It's been 5 months and I am still unemployed. I had no idea just how hard it was going to be to get another job. I have applied everywhere and no luck so far, but I do have faith that my job will come in due time. Ray is working a little more but there are no guarantees how much or how long. At this time we have decided to move in with my Mom until we can get back on our feet. It will not be easy for any of us but it's something we need to do. I am hoping that we can save a little money and maybe find a smaller house. Yes, I said smaller something most people don't say. :) I'm hoping the rent may be a little cheaper and the bills a lot cheaper.
*************************************
I wanted to write about someone I am thankful to know. That would be my friend Kim. Today is Kim's birthday and I wanted to let her know I am thankful for our long long friendship. I posted pictures of Kim and I scrap booking awhile back.
I thought it would be funny to post an older picture of us. WOW! We have changed a lot in 16 years.
This was taken at my baby shower when I was pregnant with Eleni. This is also before my hair turned gray :) Kim has always been a good friend and I wish her the very Happiest Birthday!

I will try to post as much as I can. I will definitely be popping in and reading your blogs.

Donna,
I know what your feeling as Wendell and I have and still are going through this also. It was so hard to leave our farm. We had imagined it as the last place we would ever be. If it weren't for our landlord and his wife seeing our story on the news, we would probably be living in Illinois now with my dad.
This past year has been a rough one with Wendell finding out about the MS and me losing my job. Thankfully God blessed me with the opportunity of going back to school. We never know what is waiting for us around the corner but I know how blessed I've been and know that God will see us through. I am sure he will be there for you too.... *hugs*
I'm here if you ever need to chat. Take care,
Debbie

hugs, Linda
