Good things do come.......
Woohooo..... Dh raised all the money he needed to pay for his classes and now he doesn't have to drop any courses. He sold his trailer on creigslist.
And just to put iceing on the cake, we got an unexpected refund check in the mail today from our escrow....for 600.00 dollars! We also did the tax's and are getting 2100.00 back in 9 to 14 days. That on top of the extra paycheck we get this month I think we maybe able to be totaly debt free this year.I'm so releaved and the best part is I think we will be seeing some bigger paychecks now too.
Now I am going to get working on opening my e-store and hopefully that will produce a small income. This just my be our lucky year.

Congratulations! Don't you just love it when things fall into place like that?
“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
