Oh my goodness! Life has been the roller coaster around here. Hubby finishes his masters of accounting next month and as of Monday morning (the 15th) he still had no job prospects on the horizon. We've been through half a dozen interviews and a couple of second interviews (I say "we," actually just my hubby has been through them. I just feel like I go through them with him). We had visions of being homeless and thumbing rides through the city looking for employment. Actually, we knew that God has been so faithful with us so far and He will continue to be so the rest of our lives. We did wish that His answers would come sooner rather than later, thank you very much. We had been sort of planning on having to move out of our lovely small town because of the lack in good accounting jobs. At the same time, we were praying, along with a lot of friends, that we wouldn't have to move. We are so invested in our church and our girlies' only friends are at church; so we really didn't want to leave that. I was going through mourning at the thought of leaving the beach. I always say that God sees our little (or big) lists of desires and smiles. Monday morning we got a call from a local firm offering hubby a job! If I knew I could get my soft body to do a cartwheel, I would have done it Monday. We started calling our friends and letting them know that he got the job and everyone rejoiced with us. Anyone out there who is going through job loss and job search, I have the utmost empathy for you. We have so been through that! God is so wonderful to reach down and give us the best thing for us in His wisdom. Yay!
Well, it's November and we are thinking about food all month. Aren't you? We decided we just didn't have the money to drive the 7 hours up to be with family. Have you noticed how much gas costs? Plus, hubby has all those end of the degree projects to finish and will have his hands fused to the computer until December 7th. oh joy. So we are happily going to celebrate the day of huge food with our really good friends here. My MIL (mother in law) is going to go with us. She is bringing lemon and pecan pies.....mmmmm. I am hung between pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin cream pie..........Perhaps I'll need to make a trial run of each? My friend and I have coordinated a complexity of dishes amounting to an enormous menu. I suppose if we play it right we shall have meals for a week afterward!
I have not been sewing lately. I'm in a sewer's funk. It could have something to do with not selling much in more than 2 months. My girls want me to make a bunch of clothes for their 18" dolls. I thought those would be easy. Wrong. They take as much time as regular clothes! Didn't see that coming. It could just be that I take so long embellishing them that it seems like a long time. Oh well, they would be good Christmas presents.
Blessings and a wonderful Thanksgiving to whoever reads this!
