God: God is really the center of all of my posts because He provides so well for Mat and I and everything that we have been blessed with is because of Him :) He has been working in my life so much recently and I am able to see my patience really pay off. Unfortunately, I haven't been praying nearly as much as I have in the past but I am still thinking about God on a daily basis and trying to keep Him in my thoughts and actions.
Money/Patience: Mat and I have some pretty exciting months coming up to finish out this year in an amazing way. We will be finished with Baby Step #2 of Dave Ramsey's debt payoff plan in November!!!! Some of the items in our debt payoff were some minor medical bills from Mat's kidney stone back in November/December of 2009, my student loans, Mat's student loans and last but not least, a brand new Honda CR-V that we bought in January of 2010. We started our debt payoff in June of 2010 which was just after we got married :)
Also, in November we will be moving out of our apartment and into *hopefully* a rental home :) I know it might sound strange, but I have such a peace of mind right now over finding the "right place". I am excited about finding it but I'm not worrying over it. Mat and I are keeping our eyes open and I've been checking HAR almost every day to see if anything new pops up. We have some high standards of what we are looking for such as a large kitchen, spacious rooms, fenced in backyard, accepting of pets, W/D, and refrigerator lol...I've actually seen a few places that don't have a refrigerator or a dishwasher...We really don't want to be spending a lot of money on appliances....I know we will find something...God has it in His plan already and we trust Him!
Another really neat thing that happened recently was with work. I originally started working as a Project Controls Analyst at work and then switched over to Project Controls Analyst/Engineer I for about a year now. Recently, my company sent out an email with all of our job postings so that we can refer people to our open positions. Well, they were hiring an Engineer I and Engineer II in my department so I talked to Mat one night and said "I should apply for the Engineer II position" and we talked about it for a little while. I really wanted to talk to my boss about my career path when we did our PER reviews but I knew I had to wait a few weeks. Well the day I decided I was going to talk to him about setting up a time for my midyear PER review, he called me into his office and said "so lets talk about your career" and it was a wonderful feeling that came over me. It was like God had heard my prayers and answered them with those words. It turns out they were thinking the same thing I was about moving me over to the full time engineering position. I'm not sure of all the details but they did put my job as a PCA on the company website to fill. I don't know what the future holds for this new position but I know God will be with me the whole time so there is no reason to worry :)
:-D
Mat and I are viewing a rental house today - it should be interesting!!
