Life has been crazy lately, hence my absence here over the past week. There has been family drama, work drama, dramatic drama, etc. Have I mentioned that I despise drama?? I found out that my job will cease to exist as of March 1, so there’s been a mad scramble to amp up my job search. I’ve been casually looking, but now, the whole “casual” part is out the window. I had originally planned to go back to school in January, but financially, it was not going to work. Plus, let’s be honest here, I am much more interested in spending MORE time with my family right now, not less. I’ve got too much on my plate at the moment, and it’s really been taking a toll on me. I’m working my first job, then I am trying to do this residential real estate on the side- money is tight, patience is tight, sanity is tight. Too much tightness! I’m just trying to take a step back, prioritize and relax with my family as best I can during this holiday season.
Our house has seen zero action over the past three weeks, and I am sure that trend will continue through the holidays. At this point, I’m ready to be rid of it so that we can just move in with Trevor’s parents, save up money, then build our house. Luckily, since we already own our land (which will be used as our down payment), the new house will not be more expensive than our current house, so financially, it won’t be more of a stretch for us. I just want to make sure I have a new job before we start the building process, because I do not want to be strapped for money when we move in to a new house. Anyway, all this to say, I’ve been stressed out and out of time, so the blog has fallen by the wayside. Hopefully things will calm down soon, but I’m not holding my breath! Despite the stress, I am so, so thankful for my family and friends this week- we have so much to be thankful for in our lives. I’m so blessed with my husband, my kids, my church family, my home and so much more. God is really and truly good!

Girl, you’re not alone. Life, stress, the holidays… they can overwhelm! Not trying to be awkward or weird, but you’re more than welcome to join me in putting up a fight against it all. Seems right up your alley… And mine! http://jennjewell.blogspot.com/2012/11/excessive.html
