been a while

So I know that it's been a while since I've last written, but that's because I haven't known what to write. I still don't. Life is going on as normal. Well, kinda. A new normal as of late. Jon is currently unemployed until January. Thankful that we don't have to search for a job and wonder if one will come along. Thankful that his unemployment checks are for a good amount. Thankful for friends and family who are paying Jon to cut grass for them. Thankful for generous gifts given to us from thoughtful, caring people. As the month of November is quickly approaching and the season of giving thanks, I am extremely thankful right now. A few months ago I thought that we were going to be struggling when he finally lost his job. And now that it has happened, we are fine. We are going to be fine until January. I am VERY Thankful for this. God surely does provide. I am enjoying this time of having Jon home when he's not cutting grass. My life is better when he's around. He "completes" me. (haha...corny, I know, but true!) I may go crazy when he finally goes back to work. But I've still got more than 2 months before that. My mom thinks I'll get sick of him being home, to that I say, "NEVER!" I think the kids are enjoying him being home all the time too.

Cory will be 2 on the 30th. How time flies. I can not believe I will have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Time for another one! Right?!? Tell Jon that! I go back and forth between wanting another one. I get so stressed out sometimes with the boys when they are sick and just not acting normal, that I don't know if I want to add a 3rd one to the mix. The last time I was really wanting another one, I was up ALL night nauseous and Cory was up at random times during the night flipping out, and I thought, I wonder if this is God telling me no more kids right now. Maybe I really can't handle a 3rd one now. Maybe I need to grow more before I have another one.
Of course this is all just talk because Jon DOES NOT want any more children. So.......maybe some day......I'm only 28. Lots of years left to have children....LOTS!

I am currently totally addicted to pinterist. It is the most amazing website ever! I love making things. I love making things that are inexpensive! I have so many ideas floating around of what to make next. Sometimes I dream about it. Kind of like my other obsession on couponing. I saved $75 the other day and spent $60. I was very happy! Saving money is always a good time! My christmas presents will be all homemade this year. So if you're reading this and you're on my christmas list, you've been warned. :-) It'll be good though, seriously. I was just thinking that most people don't need what you get them, and you just get them something, anything just because you have to. So I thought, why not put a lot of thought into it and make them something meaningful? Now, for guys on my list, this will probably mean something family related....BUT meaningful! :-) I'm very excited to make these presents and want to start making them all now, BUT the PROBLEM is that I will want to give it to them RIGHT away....therefore, I can not make them till December! I already gave away something that was supposed to be a Christmas present! I have no self control when it comes to things like this! I hate holding on to a gift!!!! Especially if I made it! So December will be full of crafting! I'm looking forward to it!

Well, that's all for now!
