So Excited

I am building my blog and I hope I have started out on the right foot. Thankfully I have my hubby to help with some of the technical stuff. I am looking to change my background and format to make it look more professional.

Today we went and had a BBQ with friends and as much as I enjoyed it I could not wait to get home and start working on my blog again. Every time I learn something new I feel a sense of accomplishment. I hope you all enjoy the new blog and will love the recipes and posts I make. Welcome to my new home :)

Laid off

It seems this term is chasing around everyone of us these days. About three weeks before our wedding my husband was "laid off" We were the last couple of our friends to be hit and had been running from it for months. We made it through the holidays but man it blew our honeymoon. My husband who has worked since he was 8 was now at home and I had just gone back to work so luckily we were saved there. Income taxes paid for our wedding and helped with bills till unemployment kicked in but there were no jobs in sight for his skill set. We had read Total Money Makeover and that really saved our butt. We buy everything in bulk, cut down on the extra's, and are just doing everything we can to stay afloat. We are not by anymeans perfect and cut it tight some months. We fight over bills and money but right now who doesn't. We have two growing mouths to feed. My husband is working in Real Estate and doing better than most he has some deals waiting to go through and once they do we will have our safety net. I am in school for accounting and I use every resource I can even though they are small. We are too middle class to get much help even with him laid off due to what I make and his unemployment. But if you are going through the same thing don't be bashful or afraid to accept kindness from others. At this time in this country we should be there for everyone and remember to put something in your mailbox May 9th to stamp out hunger cause even if we are hungry someone is hungrier than us and we can help them. Remember to love your spouse during this time as it is stressful for everyone involved don't break apart come together and support each other. The laid off one already feels like a failure.
