House of Cards

   I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything on my blog and I'm sorry about that, but I'm not sorry for the reason behind it. I got that promotion I talked about in a previous post and things have been pretty busy in my life since. Between working, celebrating, and getting over a hangover I just haven't had the time. 

   Ever since I got the promotion I feel like too much good has been in my life recently and I just know something bad is going to happen soon. Lately I have been looking at my life like a house of cards. The cards being all of the good things that stack up and make a nice house. However, if even one card doesn't get put in place exactly right everything will go tumbling downward and hit the ground before I have a chance to catch it. Then where will I be? Starting all over again I guess....

   Maybe the powers that be figured I have had enough bad things in my life and started giving me a break for once. In the past my house of cards barely gets to the second level before it all comes crashing down on top of me. It seems like I'm constantly rebuilding this house and it never ends. 

   These last two weeks though I feel like I'm close to that third level and I haven't been there since 2007-08. I got this awesome promotion, Hubby got a new job, and things between us have been a lot better from a month ago. I never posted about it, but we almost separated. We were both in a bad place at the time, but we have talked about it and we've been doing great. 

   We took a page from Stayla's book and implemented date night. We decided to do simple things together like doing housework and cooking dinner. We watch shows together now too. We don't live as separate entities anymore. We've decided to get a smaller place so we can climb out of debt faster and then we'll start looking for a house. 

   So yes, I'm very close to that third level on my house of cards. I don't foresee anything bad happening as long as I can make it out of the holidays alive. Things should be smooth sailing from there, but until then I feel like if I even exhale too hard my entire house will collapse in on itself.
