Always check the balance :)

I think in every relationship there is one person who stresses and one who is more relaxed when it comes to finances. I am definatly the stressor. We had some unexpected bills this month which brought our total to $13 for 5 days in our bank account---woof. So needless to say I have been a TOUCH concerned with the how we are going to make ends meet. All the while, Patrick just keeps saying I know it's tight Keje but the Lord provides and has always been faithful. We've never gone without so no need to worry now. (Easier said than done!) Anywho so I was doing the laundry yesterday and found a walmart giftcard that had accidently gone through the wash and Patrick says "Oh just toss it- I don't think there is anything on here anyway"...we all know where this is going- Just to be sure I checked the balance and found out there was $60 on the card- that is WAY more than enough to get through til next pay day...I started crying and Patrick was like see babe- The Lord provides! :) Yes he does!!!

Back in Action

As I look outside whilest writing this the sky is grey, the trees are blowing back and forth, and my love for North Idaho is being tested :) To say I am upset with the weather the last week would win understatement of the year. When we landed last Wednesday the always chipper flight attendant says "Ladies and Gentlemen, we at Southwest would like to be the first to welcome you to Spokane. The current weather is 48 degrees and the current time is 9:35a." And then she continues on her merry way like no big deal? All the while I am sitting in my seat going ummmm....WHAT?!!?!? Between Trish and I texting at one point we said we were sinning because we were so mad at the weather...How is it that something like the weather can have so much control over my mood?

Ok. Rant Over. I can't control this anymore than I can control the wild wiggle worm of a son we have :) Hopefully the weather man doesn't fail me because the forecast says on Wed it's supposed to be 78 and sunny so...there is hope yet!

In HAPPY news- East and I had the best visit to Colorado ever. It was so good to see family I haven't seen in YEARS (literally since our wedding four years ago!) and see my grandpa. I also got to spend some quality time with my mom and if you come from a big family you can relate- quality time during family vacations are rare. There is usually so much going on and kids running everywhere and figuring out logistics of how we are all going to get from point a to point b or what we are having for dinner etc. that there is minimal quiet one on one conversations (I must insert here that i truly do love the madness and chaos family vacations bring because with all the running around comes some of the best memories and the most hilarious stories ever!!) But this trip was different and Mom and I got to spend the whole drive to BV and whole drive back just chatting (Dad was in the car too but thoroughly enjoying some peace and quiet in the back haha).



We also had a bbq last night and got to play games and just hang out and have a good time. I love our friends and I Love Love Love living in a home we can have 16 people over no problem. It was so great to see everyone especially because I feel like once summer hits everyone is So busy it's so rare to all get together!

East is still army crawling everywhere and being wiggly and a busy body to a whole new level...any other moms out there- does this phase pass or is this the life of a little boy? I swear overnight he became this ball of energy! Thankfully he is sleeping longer at night so I get to recharge :) With all the energy his personality is coming out more and more everyday and it just melts my heart. He is such a funny little guy!

Speaking of someone just woke up from his nap so time to go get him :) Until next time....

His newst thing- he LOVES petting Ellie :) It's so cute at how much he lights up when she is around!
