my husband got a job interview??? Yeah. He has an interview tomorrow. The job is potentially very awesome for us. So say some prayers that he gets it.

So this week’s been a doozy… and it’s only Tuesday. I continue to have issues with mental and emotional fatigue, and my husband informs me that he may not live long enough to tell his side of this story. He’s so wonderful.
I still have one bank account to close… because I had to close my check card one business day before I could close the checking account.
Some of my books were damaged by water that snuck into Matt’s mom’s basement during the “Ivan Floods” such as the rain was called. Also, my parents have no carpet in their basement thanks to the same batch of rain.
Sunday, we got four new students in our CCD class. Yes, FOUR. We now have more students than space around the table… that’s if they ever all show up at the same time. We were OK this week because two from last week didn’t come.
Yesterday, I bought a kitchen utensil holder and a pitcher with a stiring divice on top. My upgrade for my computer also arrived, however it decided not to cooperate with my husband.
Today, a baker’s rack arrived, Matt got a job interview, our wedding album and other miscellaneous pictures were picked up, laundry was done (and put away, too!).
This evening, the computer continues to fight with Matt, and he’s assembling the Baker’s Rack. It looks quite stunning and really fits nicely… and our appliances don’t look so jumbled anymore.
Our next task is to change our bedclothes and finally get to use the beautiful comforter I picked out for us. If we’re lucky, Matt will survive all of this working and we’ll sleep, warm and comfortable, in a bed with new sheets and matching comforter.
Then, tomorrow, Matt can tell the more amusing version of this story.

Matt started a part-time job today. We’re practically a couple of DINKs. Somebody save us! Please!
The good news of all of this DINK-ness is that we’re a step closer to completing our 3-year plan. With any luck, Matt’s paychecks will go entirely toward two “little” vacations I’d like to take, and savings.
We just have to decide which vacation to take first.
Also on the 3-year plan are:
1. Finish Matt’s thesis
2. Find Matt’s “real job”
3. Buy a house
4. Quit Amy’s job
5. Start our family.

In the mean time, we’ll continue plugging away at our jobs and Matt will continue to slave away over his thesis and his resume and we’ll say some prayers. In the end, it will all work out the way it’s supposed to. Whether it’s the way we think we want or not, we’ll just have to wait & see.

In other news, a girl at work, who has been trying to get pregnant for a few years, told us that she’s expecting and due in April. Say some prayers for her & her baby, as she has potential to have a high risk pregnancy.
