My anniversary~

I almost forgot to tell you why it took me so long to update you all...
We had a massive yardsale at our house on Feb 7th. AND we made over $300 ~ What did we do with that money? Paid bills...AND we went on a mini vacation to a hotel and a nice resturant for our anniversary. It was nice to get that junk out of the house and also get some very needed extra money. I can't believe I have been married all this time... who would have thought...and here we still are. Rocky roads and lots of struggles later, we have survived. I can't imagine my life without him, or the kids. It's amazing what can happen if you allow God to be first in your relationship and yourself third. I love Manbear more today than the day I married him, and that is saying alot.
At the ys we didn't have anything big, that is what surprised us on how much money we made. It was just a little bit of stuff here and there that helped. I am also proud of Gurl as she helped me with customers and getting me drinks. We did good!
Thank you all for reading and supporting me in my year long journey into $1500. I enjoy your company~
Blessings,
Mari
