PowerBall Dreams
In case you haven't heard tonight will be the drawing for one of the largest U.S. lottery's ever at $500 Million!
Jon and I haven't bought a ticket yet but we always talk about what we would do if we ever won the lottery (of any size). And here is what I would do:
1. Pay off all our debts.
2. Pay off family members debts.
3. Invest in our future (retirement, family planning).
4. Invest in our families futures.
5. Donate to charities (we would need to decide which ones).
6. Remodel our house (or move).
7. Take a trip (we have never had a real vacation together beyond 3 weekend getaways in 5 years of being a couple).
8. Maybe open a store/ fund a fun career path!
9. Seriously start thinking about a family.
That seems like a lot but its really not. I really wouldn't change our life that much but the stress and worry about the bank account and where it stands would lessen so much. (It's also 1 of the 3 reasons why we are on the anti-children bandwagon at the moment).
What are your lotto dreams?

Holiday Frustrations
I love the Holiday Season! I love the spirit and twinkle lights everywhere!
But with that comes the frustrations of the season too!
Gift Giving
Affording Gifts
Having to deal with family (can be frustrating)
Etc. Etc. Etc.
For me, I love spending time with my family but I hate how they make me feel about not having yet got a full time job. I have been actively applying and interviewing for the past 12 months now.
And. Nothing. Is. Happening!
And everyone thinks they know what I need to do, or wants to help, or has an opinion. JUST STOP!
I know I am a disappointment at the moment but seriously I don't need others reminding me at every family gathering.
And I would like to do this on my own for once in my life.
Hopefully, I will be back with a cheery, Christmas-spirit filled post soon.
Just had to let this out.
I have been praying that God will light the next step for me and working on giving all my anxieties on Him in full faith and trust. He is Great and He is in control.
