wow. that was quick

no sooner had i put my general anxiousness out into the universe than the hub started at his new job. he went in on saturday for a test day to work on a problem car they had, fixed it good as new & they retained him to start full time today! it's a small extremely local shop that has a great atmosphere & pays a salary. and this salary is only $150 a month off from what we need to cover our budget for spring roll when she goes to daycare. and he has at least 6 months to work there & get his certifications & hopefully get a raise. which is all completely feasible.

oh- and we can take my car off the road for the next 6 months because he is maybe a mile away from the new job & can ride his bike even in the coldest weather or he will take a bus. or i can drop him off on my way to work if necessary & he can work on all the little (and not so little!) things my car needs over the winter at his new shop & we can save the extra $$$ we were putting into insuring 2 cars. so some debt can actually get paid off. we have been a 1 car household before & it is really not that hard to adjust to!

holy crap- you guys work fast! i just need him to stay there & make good impressions & get a raise in a few months. it doesn't need to be a big raise, but $100 a week would really put us over into able to sleep really well at night! (once we have daycare to cover that is). or if we bust our asses we can get at least one thing cleared off our finanical plate by april. which could be that $150 a month. which would be even better!

we actually went out to breakfast yesterday to celebrate, and some fun sexy time was attempted (but that's a whole 'nother post in itself)



i will leave you with a very happy 20 week belly pic where i am officially up 3.5 pounds in this pregnancy (finally!) - please forgive the horribly messy dresser...:

Yay! The head is now in the picture. Except it's so far away, I can't see anything! :) Always a complainer, aren't I?

Congrats on the good news. That's awesome.

And have you found daycare already? What kind? What's the rate?

Woohoo! I'm sure you and your hubby are breathing a little easier. I'm loving the belly pics!

Dude, that is awesome. Yay hubs! I hope the job goes well.
And yay for attempting sexytime. Although the word "attempting" is perhaps an indication that it didn't, uh, work?
