Jobs

So today I had a face to face interview with Delta for their baggage claim call center. The pay is okay, not wonderful, but they have this awesome benefit where me and my family, and buddies get to fly for free! And it's anywhere Delta flies. That is so awesome. I am really thinking this would be a great thing to have. I think the interview went well. The guy who interviewed me was totally nice and I have a friend who works there and she talked to him and apparently thinks it is looking like I may have a job in a few weeks. But we will see. I am just praying. I desperately need something though. Then I can help out around here and then I can like send Whyt to visit Carina and Ryan over the summer and we can all go visit. And I can go visit a couple friends that I really miss. But we will see. If I by chance happen to get a teaching position and have this job then I would try and keep both so I can still have the flight benefits. It could be a good thing. But only the Lord knows and hopefully I will have something soon to help out the family.

Wonders

I really wonder sometimes if we are ever going to get to a place where we aren't trying to figure out how to afford well anything. I mean really. It really is hard for me because we are always broke. We often times don't even have the money to pay our bills. And I have tried to look for work and I am really trying to figure things out. It's just so difficult. I am praying constantly for a job so that I can help and we can somehow get some of these bills paid off. It seems like we finally get a credit card paid off but then we have to use it because we can't live otherwise. I really wish we could figure something out. Once, when our cars are paid off, we will finally be able to put money in savings. And then maybe we will be able to get credit cards paid off and actually be able to survive. I want Chris to get out of the army in 2 years. But if we can't get ahead then that will never happen. I am just so worried and stressed out over it all. How does anyone get ahead in life? I feel like we never will.

Marriage retreat

So this weekend Chris and I went on an army sponsored marriage retreat in Hilton Head Island, SC. They paid for the hotel, dinner Friday, breakfast and lunch Saturday and then had a class on Saturday morning. They only did one session and had childcare on Saturday night for those who brought their kids with them. All of this to help couples learn how to relate better. The class was basically a video called "Laugh your way to a better marriage". I completely recommend it after just watching a few hours of it. Besides being so funny I was dying laughing, it was beyond true. Everything the man said was so true it was uncanny.

Friday night the dinner wasn't good so Chris and I grabbed a pizza. We had been invited by others to go out clubbing and drinking, but that is not our style. We hung out in our room, ordered chocolate cake and cheesecake from room service, and watched a movie on the tv.

Saturday we ate breakfast, went to the class, and then ate lunch. After lunch we rented bikes from the hotel and went riding and sight seeing a bit. It was so fun! We really enjoyed it, even if we were both very rusty when it comes to riding bikes. After that we went swimming and walked along the beach. I got crazy sunburn but it was completely worth it. That evening we went to dinner at an Italian place and hit up some miniature golfing. We just overall enjoyed spending time together.

Sunday we slept in a bit! Woohoo 9 am. We ate breakfast, and then had a couple's massage! It was Chris's first massage ever and it was great. Then we drove home. And now we are home with our awesome family. We had a great time and really needed the time away but we really did miss our girls.
