New Leaf

Since I haven't blogged since April 1st, I thought it would be a good thing to try and get back into.  It's been a while since I've had the time and the attention span to blog, or even just spend any more than about 3 minutes on Facebook every few days lately.

Well, since I last posted I officially started a new job.  I now work at Heiser's Bar and Casino in addition to Bright Beginnings Early Learning Center.  So in a sense, I'm a babysitter for children by day, and a babysitter for adults by night/weekend.  Teehee.

My days, evenings and weekends are now pretty much booked, and as of this coming Friday night I will have worked for 14 days straight, no days off.  WooHoo, what a trip.

This is going to be a busy, stressful, yet exhilarating spring/summer.  I will be working two jobs, Chad and I will be working on the house (basement, foundation, windows, garage, etc.), trying to travel and enjoy ourselves, AND spending a good part of the money we're making to reduce our debt, all at the same time as training for the Baker Triathlon in July.

At this point in our lives I am SO very happy and consider ourselves blessed that Chad and I do NOT have children right now.  That is not to say that we don't like or want kids, but not having kids at this point in our lives has allowed us to do so much more than we would be able to with little ones.  

Another thing I consider a serious blessing is Dave Ramsey.  He and his program have also allowed us to do fantastical things with our money that, without him, we never would have thought to do.  If he hadn't been introduced to us, we still would have most of our student loans and other debt.  I am telling you that if you haven't, you MUST check him out, regardless of your religious or political views, and regardless of where you are financially.

Either way, April has been a busy busy month, and will continue to be till May.  Hopefully amidst all of it, I will attempt to keep up on my blogging.....and my working out, at which I have failed massively this month.  But tomorrow is another day, and another chance to get on the ball.
