After years of struggling with the finances, I surrendered control of the checkbook to Trav. My mommy brain just couldn't focus on something like that anymore. My all or nothing attitude had caused me to get frustrated more than once and therefore just give up, put everything on auto-pay and basically ignore the rest. In a a few short weeks Trav had managed to get us pointed in the right direction and we were actually starting to get ahead.
While in Oklahoma with my parents and the girls for a funeral I get a call. Travis is okay, the car is not. It's totalled.
I guess maybe this is God's way of telling us that getting ahead is not necessary right now. That maybe keeping up is just fine for a while longer.
