God is Amazing!!!

So i really don't know what blessings and praises to start with!! I haven't started school yet, which has helped us to get settled into our new place. Just so that everyone knows, enrollment is next Wednesday, the 23rd of July! I am so excited to start school.

So as far as blessings. I will make a list because God is just confirming time after time that this is what he had in store for us!! We know we are supposed to be here because of everything that He is helping to fall into place!
1. Ran into a garage sale where the family was moving away and had to sell everything in the house! We got a bed set (bed frame and 2 night stands, a couch and chair, and a dining table with 4 chairs). By the way we had NOTHING when we got here!
2. We got an amazing deal on a great car. A 1992 Honda Civic with only 96k miles on it and it runs great! Just a dent in one side and a few cosmetic issues, but mechanically is awesome.
3. The JOB!! APRIL GOT THE JOB. She will now be working full time at a salon and spa (Pure Hair Pure Body) as the Salon Coordinator. Basically she will be booking appointments, taking inventory, and any other responsibilities that come with the job. She is so excited!
4. The PHONE: We got a cell phone and all we had to do was take over a contract from one of the other students that was leaving. What a great deal!! Now we are able to call home every now and then.
5. This one is small, but cool. We were able to get a garage door opener for our apartment complex from a student that used to live there. These usually cost about $100. This will keep our car off the street and safe near our apartment. we have access to it from our apartment!

Everything just seems to be falling into place and it is awesome. We do have one HUGE Prayer request though...MY GUITAR!!

So it got into customs and now they want me to pay another $226 just for a tax and for them to release it to me! This is crazy as i already paid $150 to ship and insure it. Just because i insured it for $1000 and not $999, they are giving me a hard time about it. Just Pray that God would give favor because I would be paying more than i actually paid for the guitar in the first place!!

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. We will keep you posted. If you don't have it already, you should look into getting skype! It is a free service to where you can talk to us on the computer! Just go to www.skype.com and download it. You do have to have a webcam/microphone though! Love you guys!
