week in review

soooo this week...


-Jeremiah became employed as staff at a youth wilderness camp
our lives will be very different now as he will be gone for 8 days, home for 6 and then repeat


-Being the planner/list maker that i am, i was sooo excited (yes, excited) when i found a premade spreedsheet! I wanted one to use for keeping track of our debts and see the progress we make as we are seriously attacking them and paying them down. It calculates everything for you as you enter in what you owe and what your recent payment was.... i love it!  it also let me see (what i had correctly calculated) that if we were to just keep going with the minimum payments we would be debt free in December 2013. So, since we are working the snowball plan, the goal is January 2012- DEBT FREE!!!


-I have been looking online at houses. Although we will not being buy a house until after we are debt free, I want to use this time to see what is out there. Learn what it's going to cost. See what i even like. What is important to me in our house (read: not a starter house. we don't get that phrase. we plan to move into a house that will be with us until the end- Lord willing) and in doing so would you believe i found a house that i actually love every part of it! Jeremiah does too!    All the more motivation...


-almost all settled in. i hope to accomplish a lot of organizational things this week while Jer is away. 


-i am still waiting to hear back from my (dream) job. The Lord keeps giving me just enough to keep me holding out for it... i believe it (Hospice) is where he wants me.... hopefully this next week i will have the official interview and continue to move forward with the hiring process... 


-my sleep schedule is all out of sorts... i should publish this and go to bed!
