When I think about how much neglect my poor blog gets. (my pen and paper journal is only a very slightly better documentation of me. mostly It's just a log of how emotional I am sometimes)
But here's whats new! Christian and I have been Very careful with our money since we got married. for some reason I have been obsessed with living like poor people, even when we don't really have to.
Run the air conditioning? are you crazy???!!!
get an Internet connection? WE'RE NOT MILLIONAIRES!
hahahahaha but really. I have no Internet at home and it plays a big role in the neglect this blog gets.
And at the moment we've found ourselves in this scary transitional stage where Christian has quit his job and filed a suit against his employer for lost wages. We've made a decision to Go into the Navy, but Signing up is only the first step, and we have yet to even finish doing that. on top of that, my hours at Sonic (along with every single other employee there) have all but vanished. I'm averaging 2 days a week about 5 hour shifts each. sometimes it's a little better, and sometimes it's even worse. so all that money I was trying to save, we actually can really put to good use now. I still am Feeling pretty positive about everything despite all of the above. We have enough in savings to hold us over for a while, and we really do have a lot to be grateful for. Now we're figuring out our next step, cause time has a horrible habit of flying and I like to try to be decently prepared for what life throws at us.

Aw, Ali! Well, I guess you were guided to feel the need to save. That is such a blessing. I hope things turn around soon for you guys... and GOOD LUCK with the Navy! I think they have the best looking uniforms in the biz ;-)
go into the navy? i thought about the coast guard one. good luck. and if it makes you feel better, i sued for lost wages from a past employer, as they become a past employer once you cross that line, and i won! so kudos. tell him to go for it. good luck. life is full of changes and all you can do is embrace them. and if you can make the changes together, then it will all work out. take care ali boo. miss you
