Classes, Courses, & the Soft Winds of Change

Over the course of Christmas break Amanda began working full time. We also finally were able to complete Mitch's green card paperwork! What a huge process that has been! Sense then, Amanda switched her work schedule from working 2-10pm, to now working 6-2pm. It is much nicer having that because she is working while Mitch is in classes.
We had to go to Detroit last week to get some fingerprinting done for Mitch's green card where we were told some great news! They told us that Mitch's work permit should be in the mail any day now! We were not expecting it to come until April. What a huge blessing it will be to get it sooner! The job market in Jackson is especially bad, and we are praying that he will find a job and find one quick. We will be thankful for anything.
We are currently taking a course with our church called Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey. It is a great course on financial wisdom, how to get out of dept, stay out of dept, and how to be able to save money and handle it how God intended it to be handled. It has been great so far and we are looking forward to all that we will learn through it.
As we are looking ahead to the next couple months we are seeing lots of change coming our way. Right now we are working on paying off some of our debts so that we can save up money to move back to Idaho after Mitch graduates. The move is coming sooner than we know! We are beginning to sell some of our stuff that we don't want to move and to get rid of extra 'stuff'. As of right now we are not sure when we will be moving, it all depends on when we can get enough saved up to do it. It will all happen in the Lords time. :)
Well, that's all for now! We hope you all are doing great! We miss everyone so much and cannot wait to hear from you and/or see you. We are praying for you, and would appreciate your prayers as well!
thanks so much!
