It's Been Awhile

So I have not blogged in almost 2 months...yikes! I may have to make up for that today and post a bunch of updates, funny stories, etc.

First, I just have to say how much I love fall. I welcome it with open arms each year and shed a tear when it leaves (way too early in my opinion) If it were up to me, it would be fall 9 month out of the year. The weather is a perfect 50-70 degrees, leaves changing colors, pumpkin patch, apple orchards, Halloween..just to name a few fall perks. So here is to hoping fall sticks around until December 23rd!!

Second, this tough economy has hit us hard. J lost his job due to cutbacks the day before our 5th anniversary. Happy Anniversary to us! He has been searching for a new job ever since...he is fast approaching week 4 of unemployment. He has had a few interviews, but with all the people looking for work right now, you have to be the perfect fit to get the job. The hardest part is that Lauren and I were covered under Jason's insurance too, so that was the biggest blow. I purchased some online insurance for catastrophic emergencies to get by.

And this brings me to my final point in this post. The election! It is so hard to pick a president. Both sides are saying the other is doing this and that...no one really gets to the issues...politics always seems to corrupt people in the end anyway...it is all really frustrating! I just pray that whoever is our next president things can get turned around and fast.
