Spending time together

Reality certainly is hitting us now! Along with the moving expenses that we have occurred we really don't have much money left over for everyday things. Now that's not really stating anything new considering we haven't been able to go out and buy something on a whim for the past two years because of our situation. It has been a wake up call that we aren't out of the deep water yet. To add to the dismay we are now no longer around family, who were helping us. But it was our choice and here we are working through it the best way we know how. We have officially drained all the savings, which actually took place back in Utah. We borrowed on a line of credit to move up here and now we are coming to terms with monthly bills vs income. Of course its about 2bucks positive of just making it, so whew! But you can't help but laugh at it all. Brandon's job is decent paying, but when you pay for two living locations it makes things a little interesting. I'm so stubborn that I'm not willing to "just let it go" I will pay on it vs foreclosure/short sale any day of the week, even if that means I can't buy every day things. I have what I need and that's what matters. Speaking of which is the point of my story. No matter how bad it is I want people to remember one thing for themselves. That spending time with your family is what matters not money. Its all about the experience and it doesn't have to cost much, just your time. So drop the pity party and hope on the creative train. Think of something close by that you've always wanted to do and get to it!
If that's not inspiration enough for you, here's some pictures of our outing.







Made it out to Cape Lookout just before sunset and it was worth every mile and every minute to play on the beach with the boys.
