Wow how the year flies!

One year ago I was starting my unemployment! Do you know how I know that? Thanks to Facebook you can see what you posted a year earlier and I was enjoying (ok that was loose terms) watching my 30+ dvr'd shows on tv while I was figuring out what to make of the forms for unemployment and we were surviving without insurance and Travis' business was failing. Fun times... NOT!

But what a difference a year makes! I now have 2 part-time jobs that I absolutely love and wouldn't trade for the world. God knew what he was doing when he shut that door. He wanted me to spend more time with my family to appreciate the little things. I have never been able to do that. And when I say little things I mean LITTLE. We were super duper poor for a while last year. We were our Sunday School's Angel tree. Sometimes to have to hit rock bottom to realize how good you actually had it. But we didn't have our priorities straight. I know I didn't.

Priority #1 needs to be God, Priority #2 FAMILY and I didn't have either of those at the top in the last couple of year and now I do and I feel great!

And I thank God everyday for giving me the chance to put those priorities in order before it was too late. Before my boys were grown and I couldn't enjoy the little things!
