Amy E's Journal

Okay, so I went to the church group thing the other night. It was pretty good. I have to say that it was very hard to get to the front door. I was pretty anxious. The priest was cooking dinner for the group, but I didn't go to that. I'm not good at meeting people the first time and then sitting down to eat with them. But, that made it hard to walk in an hour after everyone else had gotten  there. There are only 7 in the group. The people are nice, so it was okay. I liked the lecture and then the small group meeting after. I think it'll be a good thing. It may be hard to get there every week, though. That's a problem. You really can't miss  any meetings, and we already have a problem next week. I'm hoping that we can get some help from my mother-in-law. My h is reluctant to ask her.

With the economy in a mess, my h has been driving me crazy. Every other day he is telling me to cut back. Tuesday he cancelled the newspaper and AOL. Meanwhile he has a really expensive car that he bought last winter. It's ridiculous. He gets very nervous, mostly about the business and making payroll for the week. I keep telling him that our personal budget is not going to change his payroll at work. I'm hoping that the mortgage market will open up again. It is better than it was a few months ago, but not where we need it to be. Obama talks about the government helping people refinance to more affordable mortgages. That would be great for us.
