I’m back …
Ok, school has been beastly and the kids have been passing sickness back and forth to each other and my wife, but I hope to be posting somewhat more regularly.
Halloween was a blast. Friends brought their two little boys over to walk around with us. Everyone looked great in their respective costumes. My kids did an awesome job listening to us as we navigated the neighborhood going from door to door, and we didn’t get home too late. My son was Buzz Lightyear this year and my daughter was a pumpkin.
Kids are awesome; what a blessing! I’m really excited about the holidays this year. Both of the kids are at that wonderful age where everything is magical and exciting. Of course, I’m not thrilled about what my daughter might do to the Christmas tree. LOL!
Somewhere Over …
I have these thoughts at times.
I look at my kids–sometimes it’s just one, other times it’s both–and I feel the most profound sense of sorrow. They’re beautiful and I love them to death. But, I tell you, this aching loss wells up within me and I don’t know where it comes from.
And, I don’t know what to do with it.
Difficult Choices
God is truly amazing in how He orchestrates events. Although my wife and I had covenanted at the beginning of our marriage that when we had children she would stay at home (or I would if circumstances necessitated that). However, with being on unemployment for six months and then changing careers (and taking a $28k pay cut), we had come to realize that we needed to do something to help us pay off some debt and start saving again.
Compared to others we spoke to our debt was not bad at all. Nonetheless, we believed it wise and proactive to try to do something about it now instead of later when other things could make the situation more dire. In the end, though, we struggled with what steps to take.
