Trying So Hard

We are trying so hard to stay positive, though at times it's hard. I will say that the biggest and most important motivator to us right now is most definitely Faith! Without her, days would be a lot harder to get through and our will to stay positive and stay strong in this difficult time would be highly unlikely. I feel as though both Jeff and I are so busy these days, him looking for work and me trying to complete more work and what ties us together and keeps us intact is that sweet little smile. Just a simple word or sound from Faith can make a bad day so much brighter and I will always be eternally grateful for her no matter how tough times may get! She is truly our one blessing when it feels like everything else has failed in life.

I am happy to say that I have been given some great projects that really helped to take the worry about of things just a bit. Not that what I do will ever have us rolling in the money, but it certainly helps with the stress of it all at times. I'm not saying that some of the articles that I write are glamorous by a long shot, but they all help me to build and diversify my experience and knowledge, and they help to pay down some of the bills in the meantime. So even though I feel as if I have a permanent seat at this kitchen table working on projects of all sizes, scopes, topics, and mediums, I am eternally grateful to be here doing this and be around to see everything that Faith does in a given day. May we be blessed enough that I may continue to do this! We are still overwhelmed by the support and love of our family and friends. I've decided that when all is said and done and WHEN (not if) Jeff finds a good job, I will be throwing a big huge party to celebrate and to thank all of those who are so close to us and who love us in the great times and the awful ones too!
