off my shoulders :)
Ok, so I've physically lost 30lbs since January which I am excited about... but even more exciting is the huge weight off my shoulders due to the fact that we received the check from the buyer who bought our car today and took it down to the bank eliminating nearly $14,000 in debt and over $400 in payments and insurance from our monthly overhead. That in and of itself is a huge relief! But it gets better.
Joellen, Asher and I plan on moving in with our good friend Kory of Valley Green Landscape when our lease is up in June. The great thing about that is that the move will save us an additional $400-$500 dollars a month and we'll be helping Kory out with his mortgage. We've gotten behind quite a bit being "upside down" for the past couple years, but it will be great to slow the financial hemorrhaging and start making strides toward getting caught up. In addition, we'll have access to a kitchen with normal human-sized counters, a fireplace, hot tub and of course the baby grand piano! Asher will have lawn and floor space to crawl around on once he gets to that point and we all will have a little more breathing room...
Last but not least, I have an interview in a couple hours with our church for a position as a ministry coordinator / admin assistant. We'll see what happens there, but I'm hoping to soon be free from the deep dark clutches of AT&T.
Asher's been smiling more the past few days although his smiles have been elusive to the camera so far... We'll keep trying but for the time being you'll just have to take our word for it - it's super cute :)
That's about it for now. Joellen and Asher send their love and say "Hi!"

Ok. So I just realized I'm a day late. How did the interview go?

The interview went well... I'm not sure when I'll find out more but I think they're looking to get someone in there fairly soon. I'll keep you posted...
