HHHAAAAYYYY! I do still exist!

Good night!!!! Talk about I fell off the bloggin boat! I am still alive and Im still in existence for the like 1 person that still may check my blog!lol. Things have just been a little chaotic to say the least. Nothing really bad. Relationship is still great and the kids are great. Just the economy is kickin us in the butt super bad. My girlfriend works in the oilfield for GE and so you can just about imagine out thats goin. Luckily I work in finance so my job is still holding steady, we are locally owned and not hurting at all so far. But as a family we are struggling greatly, with hours being cut and looking to layoffs next we dont really know which way to go next. We are struggling with facing our last option of one of us taking a second part time job just to make ends meet. It's a tough decision to make, we already only spend the evenings with the kids and the weekends and just cant see cutting anymore time out. In the long haul of things one of us will have to make that sacrifice and very soon im afraid. So thats how our little piece of the earth has been revolving. Both kids finished up school greatly! Bray is on to 1st grade and Alayziah is off to 3rd. Time sure does fly. I hope that everyone is doing fine. Feels good to come here and vent and realease some frustration with no judgements! Here's a few updated pics of the fam!
