No More Paper Problems.

Today was Adams last day on the paper route.

When he lost his job and other job all the same week, we kind of stressed out and quickly picked up this paper route that would save our butts. What a bunch of bologna! It helped a little (got a head by half a month) but wasn't worth the added stress. I guess I am glad we did it so we can say " When times got tough we did this".... and no one can say we didn't try.

However, when half the pay was used in gasoline, 15% saved away for taxes, and having to replace TWO brand new tires was in the deal. We knew it was over the top. Adams arm is about to fall off and even with the flu all week he could never have a break. He missed going to Ben's wedding because we he couldn't take off for even 4 hours in fear he wouldn't get any sleep. He's had to reschedule many appointment and survive on a ridged sleep schedule. Oh, and we could NEVER take temple trips.

Did I mention he hit a freakin' DEAR in our brand new car we had for a month! We didn't even pay our first payment and we have a HUGE dent in the drivers front corner and door. It is so embarrassing. I hate driving around all beat up! Anyways- We did it, we are done, and we don't envy the people who have to do it. So, I think it hurt more than it helped.

It doesn't really help our vacation plans any-
Being in this lovely city we so willingly moved ourselves too. Its kind of Christmas -Mania.
We can't leave for Thanksgiving because he might have to work, and they are open two hours later the day before, of, and after.. the same goes for Christmas. So- Its gonna be a cozy Christmas to ourselves. We are excited to have our own little things going. I gotta get stockings and it will be nice with a small amount of gifts to worry about. For Thanksgiving, Adam's parents might come down to hangout. I'm not sure they are super excited that Adam might be working the whole time but maybe they will bring me company anyways!! I've spent Thanksgiving alone before when I was in Utah a couple times so I know I can handle it, but that's no fun! and its sometimes odd hanging out with other peoples family. Sometimes its fun but its always nice to be with your own!
