Things are looking up!

About a month ago we decided it was time to refinance our ridiculously overpriced car.  They said "Sorry! No-can-do." Being self-employed has it's benefits but definately sucks when it comes to making purchases.  We chucked it up as a loss and we'll be stuck paying this car payment for a while. 
Well...

Joe had visited the bank the other day and asked to speak with the bank manager to see what she can do for us.  She took a look at my income knowing I'm self employed, looked at him, and wanted us to come in immediately because she can "work something out."

Unfortunately, this was last Thursday and because this weekend was a "holiday" we couldn't get a hold of our financing company to pay them off. So, here it is Tuesday, and I'm so excited to meet up with this manager and finally see what she can do for us. After filling out 3 million papers we have officially refinanced our car for half the interest we were paying before!

It's amazing the power that a manager has above the rest of their employees.


Finally, we've gotten a break!

Life is just throwing curveballs at us this past year or so and it's been so tough.  It's nice to see a reward for all our hard work and all the heartache that we've been through.


Baby News?

Nope.

But, I'm more excited than ever about it.
I found out today that even if we were to get pregnant, my body doesn't have the right properties to support a pregnancy, which explains the 2 previous losses. So, although we may not be pregnant right now, I'm excited to know that what it wrong with me may easily be fixed with a few pills (hopefully). And with the IUI, they explained that we can choose not to go that route is money is the issue, we can just continue trying the old-fashioned way especially since we've gotten pregnant before.

And now a quick rant.

I read this book once.  It was about a boy in a family of 3 children and he was the black sheep.  His whole family blonde hair blue eyes and he was total opposite.  His brothers made him feel out of place and his parents were no better. He was treated differently at family functions, he never got the same gifts for Christmas or his birthday.  He was just really alone. Although the love was kind of there, he could never help but wonder what it'd be like to be in a regular family. 
Which brings me to my point.
I see this very situation happening everyday with someone close to me, and I can't help but wonder why a parent would treat their children not as equals. I know I won't be a perfect parent, but I know all my children will be treated equally no matter how different they are.


So, in a nutshell. Things are really starting to look up for us...
