Much to be thankful for.

Ok, so this is a tad late but better late than never.

It’s a little early to start the year in review for new years but this ThanksGiving we had a lot to be thankful for that describes the better part of 2009. First a Big Thank You to Aunt Debbie and Family for sponsoring a fair chunk of Christmas both this year and many more to come! We didn’t have space in the Van to take the Christmas tree with us, and the decorations we had brought were stolen from the storage unit in front of the 2 bedroom apartment. Up until a couple weeks ago we didn’t have a single ornament or Light, and there wasn’t going to be a Christmas.

Here’s the digest version of the year:

In January I got this new Job with FMI. On my first day I didn’t have a place to live until I clocked out that evening. Many Thanks to Benny who allowed me to share his apartment. In March I moved the rest of the family here. Arrangements had fallen through and Benny allowed the 8 of us to share his 2 bedroom apartment. We were going to take over the lease until the Ex-Wife started taking her money again and I couldn’t afford that location. God stepped in and sent us an angel in the form of Warren with HD&Co who rented us an apartment of our own in May. This gave us a little more room but it was still pretty tight. At the start of November Warren offered us a 3 bedroom for $25 more than we were spending on the two bedroom.

We now have the same amount of space we were using when we lived in the house in Florida, sans my workshop in the Garage. Moods are tempering and we are all eating at the dinner table again, but we are still having trouble getting the little ones to stop sleeping on the living room floor though. We have been fixated on the house in Riverview, can’t get this or that out of our head for the last two years. I am thinking it’s because until recently that was the last normal place we lived. This new apartment feels like home, and I pray things continue to improve, and begin to repay those that put themselves out to see us get ahead. It’s been a tough tough two years. I will go into better detail after new years. It’s going to take more than a lunch break to compose.

Everyone will also like to know that our latest has turned herself into the proper position and is no longer breech and is still expected somewhere in mid to late December !!

Wishing everyone Christmas Cheers,
Peace and God Bless,
- Dan.
