financial peace and part-time job

the Senator and I are taking a class on Sunday nights by Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. It's been so great. The class started about four weeks ago but our second class was only yesterday. We've been delayed because of the snow. Anyway, we got our kit last night (to the left). I love books and pads, papers, forms, outlines, blah blah blah... i just love it! I'll keep you updated... in the meantime, I recommend everyone take a course. All you have to do is go to the website and put in your area code and find a course nearest you. It's FREE, all you have to do is pay $100 for your kit. i told you guys, we're moving from here...

while all this was going on, the Senator and i have been having some major issues. money has been the source of all of them. i didn't get it at first... i started my own VA business a while ago 5 months and some change to be exact and we took a hit. nothing big enough to make a dent just big enough for us to notice we had to manage our money a lot better. anyhoo, we cut our apt. loose and moved in with O, okay caught up?! it's been crazy. Not all bad, but not all great either... more not all great than anything. i'm so tired of sharing space I don't know what to do with myself. I'm so frustrated with space I don't know what to do with myself, I'm so eager to get my own space i don't know what to do with myself. i want so bad to decorate my own place, and do things my own way, and get my own four walls back and breathe in my own air of my won house i don't know what to do with myself. well, i finally figured out what to do with myself. i'll get a p/t job (working at night) and build my business during the day. a) it will expidite the process of us eliminating our debt and b) it will help us be prepared enough to move when O moves if she finds a place before October (our next apt. with NACA). I'm so excited, I see a very bright future today and i'm meeting the needs of my man and that makes me feel awesome. for a long time i felt like if I went back to work I would be admitting that I was wrong for leaving, but... i don't feel that way. I wasn't wrong for leaving, my time was up there, i was supposed to go when i did and do what I did, and right now, I'm supposed to do this for my family. it's a good thing, and I'm confident that though the Senator appears to be... oh idk, concerned that i won't be happy, that deep down inside maybe there is a small piece of him that is relieved that we'll have an extra income and can move quicker with our goals.

one thing i've learned as a wife is that, sometime we have to see a need and just fill it. i've asked the Senator countless times if he wants me to go back, his response, "I want you to be happy". well mr. Senator, i'm happy right now, right this moment, right today.
