Things are looking up

So, right after I posted my last blog we moved to our new place. On the day we moved Ray fell out of the back of the Uhaul and broke his wrist. It was a blow we were not ready for. He was going to be out of work for 6 weeks at least! Praise the Lord for short term disability(if you don't have you should get it)!!! We were just really concerned, b/c he had only been at his job for six months and they had already laid people off and were down to the bare minumum on workers, but God does provide. His bosses just told him to take it easy and don't worry! What a relief! After working at such a crappy job for 8 years you expect your job to always treat you crappy, but luckly his new job is pleasantly different. There is a reason God gave him that job! So, Ray has hung at home with Madi and I for 6 weeks! It has been really good, but sometimes we get on one anothers nerves! Today, though, he went and got his cast off and can head back to work now(only on light duty, no lifting). No surgery, no pt!!! PRAISE GOD!!!! Also, we really like our new place! We have so much more space and now that Madi is somewhat mobile(she pushes everything around) it is so nice to be here! We are close to my parents, closer to church, and closer to most friends! Now we are thinking about Madi's 1st birthday, which sounds crazy to even say! I cannot believe my baby girl will be one!!!! This year has FLOWN by!!!! She is the love of my life and sooo beautiful!!! We are soooooo blessed! Another nice change has happened. I have started baby-sitting once a week for an old, church friend I grew up with. It is good money and I get to take Madi with me! No more waiting tables and being away from my fam, 2 thumbs up! So, are lives have changed alot over these past 6 weeks, but in a very good way. We are blessed to have a great, FREE place to live, a wonderful marriage, a beautiful daughter, supportive friends and family and a great church family!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!!
