Home Again

So, we're back! Obviously. This last week has been really interesting. God has definitely taken us for a bit of a ride since we got back! My students have been wonderful! None of them practiced, of course, so it was back to the basics for a few of them. Adam has been insanely busy with work and school work, so he basically goes to work in the morning, comes home and spends a little bit with me eating dinner, and then heads into his office to do homework until 11 or midnight every night. You can imagine that I had plenty of time to finish reading Sense and Sensibility in just two days. :)

On Wednesday we received a letter from Desert Schools telling us that they lowered our credit limit on our home equity line of credit. It was done without warning. I don't think it would've been a huge deal for either of us, except that for almost a year we've been using it as a sort of checking account. Adam's been putting his entire month's income into it to keep it from accruing that much interest until our bills were due. It was a great plan, until they lowered the limit after he made a "payment" that equaled an entire month's worth of income. Yikes!! Needless to say we were pretty nervous. God totally provided for us though, and we are back in business. I think it taught us some very valuable lessons, and I'm grateful, for myself at least, that it happened. Without that little scare, I might not have taken our financial goals as seriously, and He's totally put it on my heart to make it almost my second job to make sure that we're under budget every month and paying off our excesses. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness to His children!!
