Doesn't this always seem to be the case? When one thing goes wrong, it starts a series of events of even worse things. We are no exception this month.
First, we had two months of extremely high phone bills. I know for the most part it is my fault which kills me. I really need to learn to shut my mouth. :) But nevertheless, we had two high phone bills that we now have to pay. Jeremy has looked into changing our plan and has realized that we have the worst plan of all the carriers so we are thinking about changing plans. To get out of our current contract would cost a bit, so we are trying to sell our phones in order to cover the cost. I have a Blackberry Curve that is less than 3 months old (I got a tremendous deal this summer) and am hoping to sell it for what its worth. (If you know anyone who wants to buy one let me know!) If we can switch carriers, we are hoping to save money because we will be on the same carrier as my family.
After the phone fiasco, Jeremy then gets a speeding ticket on the way home from work. He was going 15 over so we probably need to find a lawyer to help him get out of getting points on his license. (If you know anybody in Franklin Cty. let us know!) Tack that price onto our 2 high phone bills.
Friday, we had the home inspection done on our new house. I'm happy to report that the inspector didn't find any major issues so that's wonderful. However, we had to pay him for his services.
Then, the 4Runner has been making a weird sound every time you brake. So Saturday Jeremy takes it to the mechanic and he finds out we need new brake pads, routers, and shocks. More money!
When it rains, it pours... Sadly, this month we were trying to save up the extra money were going to have from both of us working full time. That money was going to go to paying off the car and saving up for the day when I wouldn't work. Now there will be no saving. I guess I have to look on the bright side and be thankful that these things came in a month where we are both working. Thankfully, we know that the Lord is taking care of us and will continue to meet our needs. Praise be to God!

I def. know that feeling. I am so sorry this is happening! Like you said you know that happening now is better then happening next month. I hope you get the ticket reduced and everything works out with the car. It is super exciting though that the house had no realy issues. :) If you need anything let me know!!
I hear you girl. It seems like whenever we have extra money, something extra comes up that is unexpected. But then my mom reminded me... if you didn't have extra money imagine what kind of hurt you would be in. Hopefully thats an encouragement to you.
It is also better that it happen now than after the baby comes. We wouldn't want you and baby Owen stranded! There are extra expenses that you can not plan for in life and in having a baby. Thank heavens for all the gift cards you got too. There were many times that either the baby or I would need something that we didn't think of before. Brian would have to run out and get it for us. Those added expenses can add up quick. God provides for all of our needs. There were times when things seemed they couldn't get any worse... suddenly everything began to fall into place...that wasn't by chance that was by GOD! He will bless you indeed!
