Morning! I hope everyone's doing well. Tuesday was a busy and snowy day. Our morning was planned out: get our taxes done and then come home and relax for the rest of the day, but that didn't happen. Our car was acting up a little bit Monday night, so we thought we can just get our taxes done and come home quick, and take care of the car the next day. I wasn't going to be driving around in the middle of a snowstorm. Are you kidding me???!!!!

We decided to get the oil changed first, but the car was still acting up (battery light kept turning on), so we take it to this shop near our place and it turns out that it's the alternator....dun, dun, dun. The best thing is that the shop had the part and they were able to fix it right then and there, but we did not have the money :(   The guys at the shop told us to bring the car later that week, so they were charging the battery, but all I kept thinking about was to call my mom. My fiance said to give it a shot, so I called her to see if she was able to help us out, even though I don't like doing that. She, of course, said yes.

So we got our car fixed and we were able to get our taxes done...thank God!

We ended up getting 9 inches of snow! I was disappointed because I wanted it to continue snowing on Wednesday, with the hopes of not having to go in to work, but that didn't happen...oh well. Work wasn't bad, plus we got out a little early. I was just glad to come home at a decent time and be able to watch a couple of shows on the DVR.

Today, we're going to bible study. I'll be going to the women's bible study and then he'll be going to the men's bible study. So hopefully I get to see some new faces : )   I've been slacking off on going to bible study, especially on my days off, and that's not what I want to be doing. So I'm hoping that going there today gets me out of this funk and I can continue to go.

I hope you guys have a good day....take care!

Recap pt. 2

Sorry for the long blog hiatus, but this last month has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Now don't get me wrong, I want this blog to be about my love for cooking, baking, trying different things and visiting new places, but I also want it to be a place where I can share my thoughts. So here goes.

A year and a half ago I was laid off from my temp job. The place I was working at was the same place I worked at for four years as a student worker. I thought that having stability, good reviews, and the recommendations would've helped me land a full time job, but that didn't happen. Unemployment benefits ended last month and let me tell you, when I found out that I couldn't keep collecting unemployment I was devastated. I was so nervous because I didn't know how my fiance was going to take it (he has a full time job, but what I was getting helped us out a little). All I thought about was how were we going to pay the bills and if we were going to have enough money to buy groceries. Sometimes I just want to give up, because looking for a job has been difficult and it has been stressing me out!

On top of that, I found out that I had PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). All the research I did on PCOS scares me a little. I mean, how many more obstacles am I going to face??? All I want to do is scream and cry!

BUT on the bright side we started going to bible study. We met new people and we're getting to know more every week, which is a good thing. It's not something I'm use to doing, but it's been helping me get closer to God and build a stronger, loving relationship with Him.

I know God has something good in store for me, and even though I can be impatient I have to learn how to trust Him and understand that things happen for a reason.
