Well, I can't believe it's March already!! Before we know it, it'll be summer. Alive Festival, Matthew's first birthday, taking Matthew for walks in the stroller, new babies will be born, Mission Mentor and Im sure so much more will be happening! Im pretty excited for Alive because Thursday and Friday both have 4 bands playing that I really enjoy. I just discovered Tenth Avenue North, and I really like their stuff, but I unfortunately dont have their CD yet, because we are trying to be more strict with our money.
We started watching Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace DVD, but we still havent come up with a final budget. I currently work 3 or 4 days a week, sometimes 5, but thats maybe once a month. Im trying to find something more consistent for mondays and fridays. Right now, both of my bosses try to give me an extra day if they have an appointment, and party just to give me a few extra hours. Im a part of a website called sittercity.com and I have contacted some parents, but i havent heard back from any of 'em. One of my closest friends right now is due with their first baby in a couple of weeks and I might be watching her son on Mondays and she would pay me, so that would be great! That way I dont have to interview and work for a family I dont even know.
Anyways...I am definitely looking forward to warmer weather! I think it's supposed to be in the mid 50's by the end of the week, which I dont mind...for now. As long as it slowly warms up even more.
Hopefully by the fall, we will have a house, because this apartment is just so small, and we just found out that Im pregnant again! The baby will be due in November, and so it would be nice to have everything painted and settled into by then. We are mostly waiting for Shaun to get a teaching job. He graduated in December, and has just applied to sub for now. We would like to live close to where he works. I would like for him to look at Mentor, Riverside, Eastlake and Chardon for sure...maybe even Kenston. He went to Mentor, I went to Riverside, Chardon is close to our parents, Eastlake is where we live now, and Kenston is close to both of my jobs. Then...when we have a house, maybe if Im not expecting baby #3 by the time we are there for a year, we can get a dog. Im definitely a dog person, but Shaun never had a dog growing up, therefore, he is bothered by the "smell" and hair. But...we'll see. Maybe I can talk him into it. :)
Well, I think Im gonna get going. Hope everyone is staying healthy and hopeful for warmer weather!
