1. Matt found out he cannot move with his work-from-home job. He has to stay local.
2. He has been on several interviews for better positions and did not get any of them.
3. We had to give up our little dream house we found because we could not commit to a moving date.
4. Did I mention our little dream house had water views?
5. Matt has to work on Christmas. Again. We will be all alone on Christmas, again. Family will be celebrating a four hour drive away.
6. I already put in notice at my work and cannot be guaranteed a job past January.
The silver lining from this week:
1. I went to the dentist yesterday and had no cavities and he said he could tell I floss everyday.
2. I found this picture of Matt on my memory card that I forgot I had:
3. I got a new phone and will be able to blog remotely from it now. My ancient flip-phone is now retired!
4. Today is Friday and I get to dance with my life partner at the company Christmas party tonight!
5. I won a Starbucks card at a gift exchange just went my coffee budget was running out. God provides!
So, there is the truth. Just keeping it real. I bought slipcovers for our new (used) furniture with the hope that we will get to use it in the coming year. We also decided to join a gym because since there is no room at Matt's folks living room to do a jumping jack, I will have to retire my beloved Shred DVD's for awhile. My treadmill is also not in a place where I can really use it either.
I could use a nice long run. Get some stress out and leave it on the pavement. As soon as it is above 30 degrees F out - we will hit the trails again.
Have a good weekend, all.

Bummer...I am praying. I'm thankful you have the light, promise, and grace of Jesus to carry you through this time! Hugs to you both.
Well, that really stinks. Poop.
I know it sounds trite and annoying as all get out, but Gob most likely has another plan for you, something bigger and better.
It's there, you just have to have patience. Hang in there, I have every faith it will all work out.
Hugs!
You guys must be so discouraged. I really hope you aren't, but I would be. I agree with Rach, God must have other plans for you two. But, I too, hate that limbo feeling. I'll be praying for you.
Oy. GOD, not GOB. Sheesh.
We will be in Prosser for Christmas - not to far away if you want some company or to join our families. :)
What gym did you join? Ben & Sara, Sam & Julie as well as Chris & I go to Gold's in Richland - we usually try to go together if you guys want to join. It would be fun.
I'm sorry, really sorry that things aren't working out the way you had hoped. And to have given notice at your work has to be stressful too. I'll be praying that God makes everything work out for you. It's neat how He can provide even the little things (like coffee gift cards) at just the right time.
Hang in there dear lady! I hope you are able to have a wonderful Christmas in spite of all these icky things and Matt working. You always do find a way to find the joy in things and see the positive- I am sure you will. You are an inspiration that way.
Sending my love, hugs and prayers from NC
Oh boo how (said like the Chinese venison you taught me). I know the move is something you want and soon it will happen - keep positive.
On another note, I know you owned the dance floor at your company party the other night! :)
Thinking of you. xoxo
You have a great spirit. I hope you see some awesome blessings in the new year!
Steph
