It's been over a month since my last post! My bad! I have been so busy spending my wife's inheritance....LMAO! NOT!
Here's just a quick rundown of what I've been up to in the last 40 days:
One of the first things we did was buy my wife a new vehicle. We've been getting by with one vehicle, but it has been getting harder and harder to meet all of our obligations. So, we bought a used 2003 Kia Sedona EX mini van which will allow her to go to appointments and meetings with our own kids plus the kids she babysits. Tough to do that in a small economy car like our Kia Spectra. Can you tell we like Kias? Best cars on the market, in my opinion! Inexpensive, but built and equipped like cars double their price! My wife loves her new van, and I love to drive it too! I might post a glowing review of it in the near future.
Shortly after we bought the van, I got called back to the company I was doing contract work for. I was told I can count on steady work until mid-February, but since then that has been extended to mid-to-late-March! I was also able to get in about 1.5 days of overtime paid at "time and a half" the week before Christmas, which really was nice! It is so good to get back to work and be earning an income again!
The inheritance has also allowed us to have the kind of Christmas we've always wanted but were never able to afford. Lots of gifts, food and NO WORRYING about the bills come January! So we've been out shopping alot!
It has also been nice to be able to give to our church and another charity in town this year without hesitating, wondering if, by making the donation, we would still be able to pay our bills for the month! It was a good feeling to know that others will be blessed by the same blessing we have received!
I was going to post my Christmas highlights tonight, but since my birthday is on Wednesday, the 28th, I'll wait until that is over and put it all in one post!
Until then, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that the rest of the holidays are filled with fun, family and friends!

Ok. I came back and actually read the post this time (MY bad!) =)
Isn't it wonderful?
To be able to do and not worry?
I know exactly what you're talking about with the give and then feel uncertain if you'll make it yourself or not.
Looking like that special gift ushered in a season of blessing for you and yours. Wonderful!
