Announcement!

Praise the Lord!

God has answered our prayers...

I can really honestly say that 3 years ago when we got married, this is not where I expected us to be as a 'family'. If my current self were to have told my newlywed self that this is how things were going to be I probably would have laughed because NO teacher or wife (that wants to be a stay at home mom) imagines this.

But regardless of all of that, THIS is reality and is very necessary. We needed summer jobs and I am so thankful to say that he have one two.

It's not in a retail clothing department.

It's not in a restaurant.

It's NOT at summer camp (hallelujah).

We will be the managers at a semi-local Rita's Italian Ice.

With the following benefit...the more money we make for the owners, the more money we get paid. 

Still not totally thrilled with the concept of going back to a summer job, but duty bills call and they want money that we don't have.

On my last non-working day this week, I went to the fabric store and bought these and some brown piping:

The fabrics for my first project. :) $2.09

p.s. The check engine light in my car [that we've been dreading dealing with] went off today all by itself. Here's to hoping it STAYS off.
