just one of those weeks

Hello family and friends. Its about 10:30 on monday morning and ive been awake for about 4 hrs or so. Jordan and I's schedule at the center has changed from five 8 hr days to four 10 hr days so we now have every monday off. I gotta say so far im liking it alot, having monday off makes sunday so much calmer and more fun.

So jordan and I have been in our new house for a few weeks now and its going really well so far. The house is awesome and everything seems to be going pretty good. We had our baby showers last weekend and got enough clothes and toys for a house full of children so we are pretty thankful and overwhelmed by everyones generosity. My mom was in town for the weekend and it was alot of fun getting to see her. We didnt get to do as much as I would have liked to do because of the showers but thats ok.

Last week I worked 2 days with my pastor because he runs his own business on the side and needed some help (odds and ends jobs). Anyway that was alot of fun, he builds storage sheds and such for private contractors and it was nice working outside and getting dirty as awkward and cliche as that sounds. The job search continues for the moment although im not having any luck. I like working with jordan everyday but not having any other male coworkers, combined with the small amount of pay is starting to ware on me.

So last week our Buick died and we had to take it in. A situation like this is never exciting but it was even less so at this time as I had just taken it in the week before and payed 170 to get the electrical system fixed and a new battery. Anyway we found out the transmission is shot and it will cost 1700 to fix it. So pretty bad news but we stil have to jeep so not gonna kill us right? Well yesterday I took the jeep in to get the breaks fixed (which promised to be at least 150) and the guy called me this morning and said that our brake knuckles (whatever those are) need to be replaced and that will run us around 1500. So haha i had to just laugh because its true when they say that "when it rains it pours". Now normally Id be really upset and all "woe is me" right now but i cant help but look at all that ways God has blessed Jordan and I and how silly it would be to complain you know? We have an awesome house, a wonderful marriage, a son on the way, jobs, food, clothes a great dog, 2 loving families, awesome friends and a great homechurch. I really cant see anything in there that would imply that we have something to complain about. So anyway i guess I just want to say that im greatful to God for helping me to keep my eyes on him when I in the past never would have in such a situation.

Anyway today Jordan has a checkup, shes only about a month away from her due date, and so were both getting excited. We had our lamaze class this last weekend, two 8 hr sessions instead of the normal 6 week course. Dang-o I learned and saw alot of things I could have quite happily done without. But nonetheless we both feel more prepared and more excited than ever. We finally finished Macs room so we will have to post some pics of that soon.

Anyway I guess thats about all I have for right now, Jordan and I were considering getting the internet at our house but probably wont now for a bit at least until we get our car situation under control. So anywho have a good one guys.
