Updates

We'll start with the most recent and work our way backwards :P

• I've signed this blog up with blogsvertise.com as an experience to see what you can actually get blogging for money. They, according to the Blogsvertise website. will send you assignments, upon registration approval and you have to mention whatever product in your blog but you don't have to endorse it. Apparently, you can even complain about it, hehe. But, you do have to mention the site Blogsvertise assigns you three times (see? weeee!) I hate to be labeled a sell-out or anything but I'm looking for creative ways to make some money so that we can progress forward with some of our bigger goals like moving.
• Speaking of moving, we talked to my parents about the whole "moving to Jacksonville" idea on Wednesday evening when we all went out to dinner. I had mentioned it to my mom before but I'm not sure if she thought I was actually serious about it. I didn't think my dad would really go for it since there aren't a lot of job opportunities in Jacksonville like there are here but he really flipped out. He was ready for us to move into the house right away and we didn't even get to mention that we'd be happy to purchase it. (Even though not having a house payment would be awesome for getting debt paid off!) When we got back to their house, he even started searching for jobs for us...silly man! Though, I may start looking and go ahead and move down there so someone will be with my grandmother as soon as possible. I did a search on Witchvox for groups in the Jacksonville area and found at least three that I'm interested in so, that's good...now to find a way to pay for it all...
  
• As far as the "passing the school bus" incident, Matthew spoke with the lawyer on Monday or Tuesday night when we got home and the lawyer told him that all of these charges in NC were from bus drivers filling out reports and turning people in...not from law enforcement officers catching people doing it. And, the judges usually side with the bus drivers (which, unfortunately, is what we figured). So, Matthew is going to defensive driving school to try to get the charge reduced if not dismissed. Luckily, we both have pretty clean driving records. So, please continue to send positive thoughts our way. We need em.
