June--
Trey began working for free at a law firm. It was an opportunity to get a foot in the door. I just hung around the house enjoying the sun and taking a quick beach trip and playing some golf with work friends. It was nice and relaxing.
July--
I went to Toronto to visit Mom. I had a wonderful time, and it was great getting to see her and the city. We did so many things...here are some pictures.
August--
Trey got hired on at the law firm he was working at for a probationary period of 90 days. We were excited. Finally a pay check again! YEA!! I started back to work for my second year at Vestavia High School teaching 10th grade Physical Science. It's wonderful and still is. I have a great bunch of kids this year.
September--
We decided that in October we wouldn't renew our lease, so we began house hunting for a place to rent. We still don't have enough saved up to buy, but renting a house is much better than an apartment! Auburn keeps winning!! WAR EAGLE!
October--
We decided to stay in the apartment until November and pay one more rent because we didn't put our notice in on time, but it wasn't much more. But, we finally found the perfect house! It is 3 miles from my work and when Trey's firm moves to Hoover, it will be about 5 minutes for him. It is 3 bedrooms, 2 baths with a finished basement, den, foyer, kitchen, and dining room. It also has a nice fenced in back yard with a fire pit! So awesome! Oh, and completely newly renovated too! We also began our new small group at church and all of the couples are amazing and so supportive of one another.
We also found out that Dad got a job offer in Mississippi so he will be moving there at some point...
November--
We moved into our house. We also found out at the beginning of the month that Trey may no longer have a job due to the firm not thinking they could pay him (or one of the 3 partners thought)...It has been a stressful month so far not knowing what will happen with his job. However, on November 16, we found out that he will be PERMANENT!!!! Praise the Lord! The answer to all of our prayers.
The house has had some kinks since we moved in...we didn't have a lot of "power" to the house and didn't think much of it except maybe rigged wiring. One night, things started sparking and I was freaking out, so we called the landlord. I talked with the electrician and he said the house was newly wired with the renovations. So, I then called the power company and they came out. A squirrel had eaten straight through the aluminum power line...we barely had any connections being made! So dangerous! BUT, it's fixed and power is perfect now. Just some minor things such as pipes leaking...but they are being fixed too. Part of moving into a house. Here's a picture of the power line:
As for Thanksgiving, since Dad is in the process of moving and Mom is in Canada, I decided to host dinner for the family. I am going to cook the full spread, and I am so excited! The guest list includes: Dad, Kathy, Daniel (our friend), Mary K (cousin), Uncle Tom, Aunt Beverly, Aunt Di, Jonathan (cousin), Scott (Kathy's Son), Trey, Me, and possibly Jenny and Conrad. I am so unbelievably excited!!
As for December....we shall see!
