As the weather changes toward spring so is our family changing.We are looking toward the celebration of our Lord and Savior's conquest over death.
We have struggled through a lot as a family barely hanging in there, Our faith in our family tested. We Weathered it well. The Tax returns were a much needed financial recovery tool for our family. We paid off Bills that were being skipped and bought much need supplies. I even had enough to splurge a bit. Our savings is boosted up as well.Nice to have money in the bank for a buffer.
The other new thing on our agenda is that I am now gainfully employed doing maintenance again. Work starts this week.it will be some adjustment for our family but we see ourselves getting closer to our goals. Brandy now works full time so the bills are getting paid and the money is just poring in.
Money isn't the important focuses. Money is nothing but a tool required at this point of our life to sustain our family and support our love for each other. I bought quicken so that we can track our spending and build our budget stronger.
The Blue Chevy van is finally getting a new engine that it needs to get back on the road. I could have just junked it and used the whit Ford van but the Chevy get better gas mileage and more comfortable. We haven't decided on the fate of the Ford yet.
Getting back to work is going to be a great experience and can't wait. I don't want to use the reserve that we have manage to build up in the bank and personally I would rather work.
Also I think that no one really realize the cost of these kind of families. all the bills go up.If the wives work that great but when their are children in the house one or two wives are required to stay home with the children. mini vans take more gas then other conventional compact cars. Finding room for all these people is on the interesting side we live in a five bedroom house and still short on space. We could have differn't places but I believe that polygamy is best lived under the same roof with the family dealing with each other on a daily bases.Seems like a family when we are all together.
