09/24/95 Journal Entry - Finding treasures at a yard sale and setting goals

09/24/95, Sunday Well supposedly this week we get our house.  Monday or Tuesday.  I am excited and nervous. There are so many things we'll need to get and do.  I am worried about the neighbors and AJ needs friends. I feel very blessed and think the Lord is really taking care of our needs and wants.  It has been a huge struggle to pay tithing but I feel so blessed since we have.  It seems like I find exactly the things I need on sale or at a yard sale and that somehow things work out. Just in the last month all of the things I wanted to get AJ for his birthday I found at a yard sale for under $10!  A bike, chutes and ladders and a helicopter toy.  I found Dallas a car seat - the exact one I wanted.  I was talking to Laura and saying I didn't have any winder clothes for AJ and the neighbor boy knocked on the door and gave us a big pile, all the right size.  It has been one blessing after another. And now the house has finally started work...

09/06/95 Journal Entry Patience on getting the home, lots of work for Andy

Wednesday, September 6, 1995 Still more problems getting into our home.  I'm beginning to wonder if it will every happen. Papers were mailed to SLC and arrived after Brent left for the week. (guy processing the paperwork) Andy has worked about 28 days with no days off now.  The guy they are to hire will be in on Saturday to interview from Kentucky.  So probably another 3 weeks for Andy with no time off.  He's getting burned out.  I am trying to be supportive and make life easy as possible for him at home but it's been hard on all of us. AJ doesn't want to listen and I get tired of chasing him while taking care of Dallas too.  Things will be better soon. Michelle Schnabel and Rayme came over last night to hang out and go for a walk.  It was fun. I can tell summer is going because it is almost 7 a.m. and it's still pretty dark.  I love it when the sun shines from early in the morning until late at night.  It is still SO hot here. ...
