Bennett is Three!

So time flies. Here we are Labor Day weekend and I am getting around to my blog. In my defense typing on our home computer is really frustrating ever since the boys took all the keys off. I was able to get most back on but typing with some are very difficult. Oh well. I am proud of Bennett's transformers cake. I broke a sweat trying to get it just right for him. He was happy. Since then if you ask Bennett how he is doing he simply raises his hands and shows you that he is three!
Cullen's first soccer game will be next weekend and for the next 12 weeks or so you will find us at the soccer fields every Saturday morning. He has no clue what is going on and we are enjoying watching him have fun with his new friends.
My work is crazy busy right now from the time I get there to the second I sign off I am on a call talking. This is very exhausting having no breaks and I am hoping things will calm down sooner than later. 10 of us have been picked to do a new pilot call group @ work. I will be cross-trained to take all incoming calls and we will be sort of the hub to help equalize all the different areas and keep the level of productivity at an even kill. My one hope is that this prepares me for future promotions. Any position in my department above me will want someone who has experience in all the call areas... this makes me very knowledgeable on all the different types of policies and that is a good thing for becoming a team leader and one day a manager. Dare to dream!
Matt is still one of the many not being able to find a job currently. He has a few good possibilities currently and hopefully soon someone will offer him a position. I am ready for a double income lifestyle where we can take a breather from the bills.
Life is really good for the most part and I am starting to look at things differently. Like in the next 5 years regardless of Matt's job situation we will be way better off with my income and our bills. Our home will have that insurance thing drop off in 2 1/2 years. My car will be paid off around that time too. I will be making more money at work yearly just by doing what I am doing now. Between the car loan and that insurance you have to have for the first 5 years of owning a home until you have 20% vested in it... that will be almost $600 a month less we will have to pay right there! Other bills and loans will be gone by then as well. So if we can just keep on trucking time is simply going to take care of some of my current stress!
I will say that I seriously doubt you will be able to get me out of this home until we are able to put at least 20% down on our next home... and I really don't want to move until the boys are in high school or so. This house fits us will plenty of room for growing if we need it.
So I am thankful this morning because I know now that all we need is time to get to a better place in life and I have faith God will be with us the whole way. My faith in God and mathematics says it is a no brainer.
