Calm out of chaos

Well, thankfully, things have calmed down a bit since last weekend. Ed borrowed some money from his parents to pay the bills we were behind on, which eased his nerves and frustration; although he felt bad about having to borrow from them, but Lynda assured us that her and Tom had to borrow from their parents a lot of times too the first few years they were married. He had a good week at work, I had a good week at school, and the girls have been doing wonderfully at their new school. So things are good right now, and I'm very thankful. For the first time in over a year, we're not trying to get pregnant, which, oddly, is sort of a relief. We decided that now is not really the right time for a new baby. Oh, if God decided to bless us with one we'll still be very happy, but with all that's going on right now--me about to finish college, Ed's job going kind of funky, our relationship being a little strained--we figure it's better to just wait. I mean, we've been married only 3 years but it's been a VERY eventful 3 years for us. We've gone through more in that short time than probably a lot of couples go through in 10 years! And don't get me wrong, it's been wonderful and not once have I ever regretted marrying him. But still, it's taken a toll on us (and still is) and I think we both, as well as our girls, just need some calm, peace & quiet. We need to really settle into our new home, and new town and concentrate on being a family again.
