new chapter...

As always it's been a while between my blogs...we've moved and we love it!!! Our new home is so spacious and cozy and the area is beautiful. I love Black Hills!!! For the last 4 weeks we've been very buys painting and decorating, and I'm ready to be done. There is still a lot to do, especially in the basement but that will take a while. Shaun has been adjusting to his new job very well...he absolutely loves it. I'm finally going to youth group this Wednesday...it's going to be great, because the kids are amazing!!!

We do have a few prayer requests...
1. Hudson has been sick for the last 7 weeks and we finally took him to the doctor today. He didn't know what is going on, because all Hudson has is a cough...no other symptoms. We got antibiotics for Hudson, so please pray that they would help. We want his relief and also we don't have an insurance yet, so it could get very expensive.

2. My Green Card interview got rescheduled and I don't know what the date will be. It's been a stressful process for me and I just want it to be over.

3. JOB!!! I need a job...once you move away from college, there are all these expenses that you didn't have before...and I need a job ASAP. I don't want to take just anything...mainly because I don't want to hate going to work every day. It also needs to have health benefits because we can't afford paying $400 for insurance every month. It's been hard to think about having to leave Hudson at a daycare or with Shaun in the evening, because I actually started to like being
stay-at-home mom. Hudson has been so much happier since we've moved that he doesn't give me a reason to want to leave anymore:) So please pray for peace for us and for God's provision. We are already tight with our budget and soon we will have to start paying loans off and that scares me. I have these little panic attacks when I start freaking out about money and not being able to pay for necessities. We are blessed with a house in which we can live for free which is a big relief for us. Please, pray that God would give me peace about everything and that he would help me to be ok with going to work and not having to worry about leaving Hudson.

4.Building new friendships...I'm such a people person, and not having neighbors that I can just stop by anytime is hard. I miss our girl events like crazy. Women need to vent and the best way to do that is to talk to other girls. I've met amazing women here and it's very fun to hang out with them, so please pray that I would be patient as it takes time for friendships to grow.

5. I really miss home-Poland!!! And it drives me crazy that I can't just go there whenever I want to. Tickets are so expensive and I need my passport which I can only get in Chicago, which would make a long trip. Please pray that all of my paperwork, including passport would be done soon and that God would provide for tickets. I haven't seen my family in so long and Hudson hasn't even met his great grandparents. It makes me sad every time I think about it!

We have been extremely blessed with the people that sourround us here, with a great house, great weather (for most part) and beautiful sorroundings. God is great! Sometimes we tend to forget to turn to him, and that's when things get crazy!!! Let us remember that He is always there for us!!!
