Homestead Dreams

Well, we finally heard from the local company.  My husband had one too many moving violations. 

That just lets me know that God closed the door on that job.  It may not have been open for my husband anyways, it may have been us wanting it so badly.  All in God's time.  Maybe the door we need just hasn't shown up yet.   Or maybe it has.  My husband told me that the company his brother-in-law started working for may have an opening soon.  All we can do is wait and see what God has in store.  And pray.

We are in the process of looking for a mobile/modular home to put on the family farm.  My mother is getting to where she can't do alot of outside work.  That is where we come in.  For the most part, if she needs something done, she calls my husband and me because getting my brothers to do something is next to impossible.  Before we can do that though, we have to pay off a few bills.  At least we can look to see what we like and don't like.

In August, I went back to college.  I already have my associates degree.  Now, I am trying to get my bachelors degree in education.  I am studying to be a middle school math teacher.  So far, so good.  I know math teachers are needed almost everywhere.  One of my professors told the class that it is likely that we will have signed contracts before we even finish student teaching.  I know that teachers are not paid much, but i am not going into it for the money.  I am doing it for the students. 

Well, I guess that is it for now.  I need to get my kids in bed.

congrats on going back to college to get yourself in a position of teaching. You might be able to sub teach while you are in classes. Here in Indiana, need to complete the Assoc. level.

Hope your husband finds a job that suits him and yes, I've LONG wondered what was in our food. Why I grow my own. LOL!
