I am telling you~ I am so amazingly BLESSED!

When we moved from our big house to this little apartment~ it was a bit of a shock HOWEVER...
As we are settling in I am so joyful! There are so many wonderful things about the down sizing I did.

First and probably the BIGGEST thing is that my rent is $300 a month cheaper, I no longer have to pay for water, gas and trash, my electric bill will be a whole lot less. For the first time in MONTHS we have "extra" money. On top of that my son's father is working again so child support will start being paid! I am looking at an increase in disposable income almost where it was before my Mom passed away.

This means I can buy a new car, well new to me anyways. I found one that I REALLY want... if I am approved I will be able to go get it Friday and be driving myself a nice Dodge Durango. I am really hoping I get the Durango but it is RIGHT at the border line of what I would probably qualify for... so it is going to be ify until I hear back from the credit union.

One thing in my favor is that I bought a brand new vehicle through the credit union years ago and it is still on the "record" there along with both of the personal loans I had through them. So here is hoping...

If I end up not able to get the Durango, then I found a couple of other vehicles that were a little less in cost and good enough. I cute little silver PT Cruiser caught my attention, a really nice Subaru Outback, and a rather bland Nissan MiniVan. All three of them are well below my qualifying income. So one way or another by Friday or Saturday I should have a vehicle. The only hold up might be insurance. I am not sure what that is going to run for any of the vehicles so I need to contact my insurance co. and get a quote and see if I can be billed or need to pay in advance for it. If I have to pay in advance car shopping is on hold for 10 days until I get my next check.

It feels so good to be at a place, after the year I have had so far, where things are coming back together and looking good again. Makes me think a bit of Job... he lost everything, his life as he had known it was gone, and then God restored it all to him. I feel like I am in the restoration process... I know it will take some time even Job didnt get it all back over night. However I am feeling really really good with where I am right now.

Life is certainly at a good place now... who knew
