Mr. Robinson's last day with the company he's currently with will be next Wednesday, the 21st. He will start his new job on March 26th, and we are VERY excited to see where this new journey will take us.
We are absolutely confident that this is where God wants us to be.
It's funny because late last week, we received an e-mail containing an application.
He'd been pursuing a job particular job in town, but there were no positions available.
Now that he's accepted a new job, the office he had been hoping to work at sends him an application. Anyway, I'm getting side tracked. My point was...life is funny sometimes.
His new job, while we are very excited, will mean that for a little while we will be living off of my income alone. It's not a big deal, and we know that our Lord will provide. However, we feel like it is wise to prepare for the worst-case scenario. List most people, we spend the majority of our money on food. I love grocery shopping. Truthfully, I adore it and look forward to it all the time. I day dream about fresh produce and making delicious meals. I can spend hours in the grocery store. Oh, and hundreds of dollars. No big deal, right?
Well, I'd love to cut back on some spending, especially since we are preparing for a pretty big change. We are out of fresh veggies (with the exception of an onion, a few baby carrots, and three celery stalks). We're also out of MOST of our favorite foods. It kind of sucks, but I'm determined to stay away from the grocery story until we absolutely have run. out. of. food. It's time for the Robinson's to clean out the cupboards! We have tons of canned goods and foods pushed back into the backs of the freezer and cabinets and shelves. Food hides from us at our house, and maybe at your house, too. So the plan is to try and save money by eating the food we already have - because we have plenty. Are we up to our ears in our favorite foods? No....but will we go hungry without our favorites? No.

It'll be interested to see what I come up with, since I hate following recipes in the first place. ;) I won't be blogging about what we eat...you'll just have to follow along on Twitter to watch the magic unfold! =)
Oh, & speaking of next Wednesday....make sure to come back. I've got something amazing up my sleeve! You won't want to miss it!
