Where have I been!

It's been along time... I have been working at a very busy and stressful full time job this past year and recently have given my notice. I really loved working there. I HONESTLY did. I loved all that I learned and all that I was able to experience. I just had a hard time juggling my family and the stress from my current position there. One thing I really didn't like was losing friends. I hated that. (There was one person specifically who still avoids me... If she ever reads this she will know who she is... I was doing my job. I miss seeing your face!)
On the bright side...I recently was offered a new position where I will be working part time from home. Amazing! I know. I will be working for a mortgage company. I can't wait. I am currently working on my classes to become a Mortgage Loan Officer. I have very high hopes and I hope that this new position or adventure in my life will bless my family. More about this new job will come in further posts.

So here is some insight to my OCD or Crazy brain about finances. I absolutely love working on finances. I really enjoy paying my bills. Not the fact that I am giving my hard earn money to someone else but I love trying to figure out how to make it all balance and so that we have something to live off of. I have really enjoyed helping others with some of the same issues. I love to help people save money and improve their lives. I love being able to see the money being put back in their pocket or savings account! It really does make me get giddy or excited about saving money or balancing my check book to the penny! Weird. I know! Something about looking at a receipt with a low balance or my account and seeing a safety net of finances or a cushion makes me feel all warm  inside!

I have decided this blog isn't going to just be about MONEY, COUPONS, or FINANCES...but my life and things that come up and things that I have learned about those areas in my life. I have also decided to just write from the heart and share stuff on here like a journal. 
I also wanted to just add... for those people who have told me I just can't do "THIS" working from home or live the way I live. I just want you to know. I can do "THIS" and I will  do "THIS". "Look what I can do!" You better keep an eye on me because if you don't watch closely you might miss all the amazing things I am about to do! I tell my husband all the time "ONE DAY... MARK MY WORDS..."
