What a week,

You know those strange feelings you get, "today feel's like a friday" or "it sure feels later than 6pm!"? Well, last week was a "Man, that week felt like a month!" It was just a full week. I started my new job at Russ Moss Construction (cabinetry) last monday and fortunatly did not mess up anything too bad. It was actually a good week of work and I am encouraged that this career change will be good. I have been hearing of more side work than I am able to physically do so it looks like it will just be an issue of scheduling and how much time we want me to be away from home. Noah had the best week of sleeping he has had since he was two months old. Hopefully he is developing better sleeping habits. We got our new cell phones on Thur! My number is 503-729-3353 and Erin's is 503-347-0079. We got a digital camera Wed. Our old one was from work so I had to return it when I left. We have been wanting to get a nice one for a while and we got a great deal on a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. It is sooo cool! We have really enjoyed taking pictures since we bought our Canon Rebel 2000 and even took a photography class a year or two ago. We found out on Tues that the Subaru needed new tires, front brakes, and alignment. That was unexpected. A friend gave me 280 lbs of aluminum he had lying around to recycle so on friday I took it in and got $180 dollars for it! "We're ahead!" On the way home the Escort got sick :( the timing belt broke and some vital parts in the engine got bent. So, it needs a $1500 surgery this next week as having a second car has become vital now that my commute to work has gone from 4 miles to 15. And to close out the full week, on Sat. a friend dropped off more food for us from the Grange. It must be atleast $200 worth of meats, dairy, baby food and even orchids. She has done this for us every other week for the past month or so. It has been a huge blessing and we are eating better than we ever have... Ahi Steaks, lamb, Wild Salmon, Satey Peanut Sauce, Indian Flat bread, and strawberries to name a few. It is all from the store Trader Joes which is all organic and all expensive :) We have been blessed. Erin shared in church this morning about the groceries in light of our financial "adventure" and after church someone I didnt know slipped me $40 and said they were praying for us. :) It was just a full week but a good week. The Lord is taking care of us. Just wanted to drop a line before the start of this next month, I mean week, and check in with you all!
