Learning to be frugal

Well after 2 months hubby started a new job, in a new field as a mechanic - getting paid 1/2 of what he used to and having to learn a new career. This has put a strain on our finances and a big monkey wrench (no pun intended hehe) into my debt freedom plan. Things will probably be real tight now for the next couple of years. He comes home way happier then he ever did while doing accounting AND I believe God opened this door. So here I am trying to learn to coupon and budget and live less then in our means. I am trying to be faithful on our tithing and trying to trust God. I know things will be ok and we are here for a reason.

I also got an Aerogarden as an early birthday present and I am so funny checking and hovering over the little seeds (they haven't even sprouted yet - day 2 so I guess not). But I am very excited about it - we planted lettuce and I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
