I'm doing 20 things
Because my last entry was September 2nd and my test came out negative. I started my new job….thought all the stress had me out of whack. I took a pregnancy test on Friday the 11th and SURPRISE! We are having a baby!! Due date is May 14th…a spring baby! Ironic how that is our favorite time of year.

How I did it
It made me
emotional! 
How I did it: Practice, set time aside but go on with your life. You can't stop everything or else it takes away from your quality of life. Know in your heart if it is meant to be it will happen and at the right time. There is a reason why we cannot control everything! Read how I did it…
It made me
Accomplished
How I did it: Of course I started out in a parking lot in the mall, they have big lots! Then after a few days I drove around the inside mall road. After a week or so I started doing small trips late at night with hardly any traffic on the road and going from development to development. Then I started driving to work, luckily for me I only work about 10 minutes from home. It really helped me to have my husband in the car with me … Read how I did it…
It made me
Ecstatic!
How I did it: We scheduled a meeting to go to a dealership just to look around and see what interest and loans they could offer. Before we knew it we were test driving and signing papers for a 2007 Honds Civic EX Coupe!!What's even more unbelievable and scary is that it is a 5 speed manual and I never learned how to drive a stick shift. I'm going to have to learn now since both cars are manuals! I'm not sure how long it ill take but t… Read how I did it…

I am surprised at my positive outlook on this, though it could be just plain denial. I keep approaching each month with “this is going to work!” Maybe with starting my new job I will have a lot less stress. I also think things will happen when the time is right and it would not have been a good situation had I gotten pregnant while working at my current job. Here’s to another month of trying!! I’m hoping we will have good news for everyone by Christmas!
I keep telling myself slow but sure wins the race. So far 1 credit card down and only a tid bit on another one and that should be gone by next month. I just recently got a new job making more money so that should help out! After this other small one is gone then it’s on to tackling the larger ones. Which, don’t get me wrong, will feel great to start paying them down…but they will take longer. I just wish I could wiggle my nose and it would all happen at once. I am terribly impatient but can only do so much as the money comes in. I am grateful though that our debt is no where near what some would consider a lot. I just know once we get this taken care of then we can seriously start looking at houses!! WOO HOO. My goal is by December to have all but 1 credit card paid off. (Cross your fingers :-)
