Long time no chat!!!!!!!

My husband and I are doing well. Not perfect, but well. :-) ha ha We are really working through a lot of our past issues and drama.

He got laid off over a year ago, and we have struggled to pick up the pieces. I cut back on school for awhile so I could get a full time job.

We aren't where we USED TO BE, but we are in a decent place considering the economy. I have a full time job that pays decent. He has a full time job that also pays fairly well and has decent benefits. I just finished 9 credit hours at school with a 4.0 and I am officially a SENIOR IN COLLEGE NOW!

We also found out that after 5 years of trying to have a baby together, we are pregnant! I am 3 months along, and we are making financial plans for that.

We let our lease run out on the pricey apartment, and we moved to a tiny mobile home that costs a ton less. We haven't done a great job with our money so far, but we just created a budget that shows we can do a lot of savings and snowflaking between now and when the baby is born, so we are thrilled!

If we can just stick with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad to be back, and hope to reunite with some familiar faces!
