If you thought things couldn't get worse...

We found out that Nate's work laid off all except for Nate and another guy. His hours have been cut and we are way short now. I'm afraid we are going to lose our home. We have no idea what to do. Emma has to have $1000 worth of dental work, the kids need uniforms for school and clothes period. Things are really bad now. I have to thank Heavenly Father that Nate still has a job. I feel really bad for the guys that lost theirs. I am looking for a job now. I haven't worked in 10 years. This is gonna be challenging. I have no education and no experience. But I know there is a plan(there has to be right). Heavenly Father doesn't give us more than we can handle. There is a solution we just have to be in tune to the spirit to find it.

Despair

What do you do when you are in so much debt that if your kid needs to go the doctor,dentist,or needs clothes you are screwed? I don't know how we got here. We have totally screwed ourselves. We have no one to blame but us. I am a horrible mother for thinking about the now instead of the future. I really don't know what we are gonna do. Today was so bad that I fell on the floor begging Heavenly Father to forgive my bad judgements and please help our family. I feel despair and hopelessness. I pray with all my might that my children will be taken care of.

Hair

I have had alot of hairstyles over the years.>
It just keeps getting shorter. The only thing left is to shave it off. Since that isn't an option I think I will grow it out now.

Noah's Birthday

Noah had his birthday party at the pool and then we came home and had pizza and cake and icecream. I made his cake like a skate ramp. He is now a big 8 year old.

Ragnar

I ran my first Ragnar Relay and I loved it. I want to thank Nate for putting up with my whining and complaining during training. I am so proud of myself for doing it. I feel like I accomplished something great. Back in March, I couldn't run 1 mile much less 13 and that is exactly what I did. My goal for next year is to run one of the harder legs. My friend Marlene is wanting me to run a half marathon in August so guess what I am doing? Training for that. Here are some pics of the race.
