Life is full of changes and change can be an interesting thing. Changes happen when we least expect them I have learned.....sometimes for the good and sometimes.....well, they just plain suck! Eventually though, I usually find the silver lining around the not so welcome changes.
Earl lost his second job on Dec. 30. He has worked for 3 years at a church doing cleaning. It was quite unexpected. No notice, no severence and no renewal of our lease on the house we rent from the church. So now we are short $1,400.00 a month and a place to live.
Fortunately, we found a house about 10 minutes away (so the kids can stay in the same school district). It's not as big and not nearly as nice, but it has potential. I will be loosing my craft room, one bedroom and a second bathroom. It's a really old house and the landlord said we can do whatever we want to fix it up. It does have a nice big yard and a nice front porch. There is a creek a couple of houses down that the kids can so some exploring around.
So, even though it is a very unexpected change, I think it will be nice. Earl and I are actually excited and once he finds a new second job and we get moved we should be okay again. Until then.....we just go with it and accept the new changes in our life.

I guess his life is full of change too!

Hi Sherry! i was just wondering about you. I have missed your posts. I am so sorry Earl lost his job, and you guys lost your house too. They could have at least gave you some warning. I sure hope things work out for you. I will say a prayer for your family. This picture of your kids is beautiful. They sure are cute. Keep your chin up Hon!
Sherry, I know things are tight right now, but my dear friend have you ever thought of teaching craft classes at your local craft store, co-op or community college? You do such amazing work!
