Money!

So ever since Mike and I moved into this new apartment, our money has been going downhill. The rent here is about $75 more than our other one, which isn't horrible seeing as it's 3x bigger, but with the size, comes bigger bills. Our electric and gas bills are quite large. Mike is only working 20 hours a week, and if I'm lucky I get about 14 hours a week. So we are just barely getting by.


However, on Saturday I was looking at craigslist (love that website!) and I saw that there was a nanny job posting, so I e-mailed the person asking for more details, etc. Well the next day he e-mailed me back telling me that he and his family are moving here from LONDON! on June 5th, and need someone to help watch their 3 yr old son from the hours of 2pm-6pm. I thought those were pretty good hours, I could maybe get another day job or something. But then I read further and saw that I'll be making.....$500 a week!!! That's more than we make in a month! I said heck yes, and e-mailed him back answering the questions he had for me. 


This morning I checked my e-mail again because I was anxious to see if he would choose me to watch his son, and he did!!! I'm going to be nannying a little boy from London 20 hours a week, making BANK! 


Life is good for us right now. We love our new apartment, we love each other, and we love that we probably won't have to life paycheck to paycheck anymore! Thanks man from London!
