Mara's Musings

I'm baaaackkkk!

After packing, moving, and over a month of only being able to pop on for a peek here and there at work...it is good to be settled and have internet again so I thought I would give you an update!

I thought losing our house and heading into the unknown of renting after sixteen years would be difficult, but it has surprised me. We have settled into the new house and it really feels like home. I really love it and our new landlords are a fabulous Christian couple who have gone out of their way to help us out and make us feel welcome.

The hubby's new job is working out well. His patience is paying off and the pay scale is climbing towards respectable which helps. I have been working hard on the budget and it is surprising how big of a weight is lifted by bills being paid on time. Without credit cards to fall back on we have forced ourselves to scrimp and start a savings account. It is a bit anemic so far but it is at least inching towards a safety net. It is nice to know that there is a little there for at least the minor unexpecteds.

I have been thinking a lot about writing lately. I miss the escape. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things now that life has settled down. It is the last step in returning to normalcy for me. Wish me luck.

Love,

Mara
