What a relief!!

Well we can breath a little easier financially now as we have found renters for our suite April 1!!! We are totally excited to fill our suite with a young couple just starting out. Of course the money is what gets us really going as things are tight with John going down to four days and a bunch of major bills coming our way (house insurance, property tax, van and car insurance!!) so this is so nice to have the extra income. I have been feeling pretty quilty lately feeling like i should bring in some income somehow to help us get ahead but just can't get past the thougth of leaving the girls to go to work. So with teh suite being filled it's like i have a job! Praise the Lord. The tenants signed a six month contract but plan on being here LONG term but just didn't want to be bonded for a longer period of time which is totally understandable.
We were so afraid posting out add in the Abbotsford paper but we got amazign feed back and had a good handful of people to chose from and there was only one person we said right away "NO" the rest were all potential renters. We chose this young couple as they want long term and some of the other couples didn't. We hope we dont' have to do this process over again. But when we do we will definetely have an application for them to fill out at the time of viewing cause John was getting pretty confused with numbers and people as he was taking the calls on his cell at work and wasnt' paying attention to the details!! Oh well we got renters now and that is all there is to it and we are so thankful.

On another note my toes is slowly healing . For those of you who have run into the corner of the couch or corner of wall know the pain that follows. Normally when i have done this in the past it hurts for a little bit and that is about it. Well over a week ago i RAN into the corner of our couch downstairs and broke my pinky toe!! Seriously the worst pain in the world and there is absolutely nothing doctors can do about it. It is still pretty painful to wear shoes or walk in general and the colors it changes every day is amazing. Its pretty annoying having it constantly ache all the time. ANd i am on pins and needles when the kids are around me. Camryn has fully stepped on it and i almost hit the floor in tears! They say it can take several weeks to heal. My mom did this when we were young and it took her 3 months to heal!yikes. I havne't been able to go to the gym this past week becasue of it but i will attempt to try on my fitted gym shoes and see if i can at least ride bike. I NEED to lose this weight before summer starts and i have to wear a bathing suit or shorts!!
