Chris and I have entered a new season of life. One that is called - harvest. Chris works for a seed company and one of their main crops is corn. Corn harvest lasts from 6-8 weeks now through September.
So what does that mean for us? It means Chris is now facing 6 weeks of working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. Which means that I will see him from 8pm - bedtime on Saturday and Sunday nights. And not much in between. Since they actually process the corn at their plant, they much have it open 7 days a week to receive trucks and they want other employees there to keep up on the regular work too.
We survived the first weekend so far and are praying that corn harvest does not last any longer then 6 weeks or that Chris' boss will have mercy on his crew and maybe let them have a Sunday off if they get far enough ahead in their other seed orders - besides corn.
This will be a huge blessing to us financially with a doubled workweek - which meas 40 hours of regular pay plus 40 hours of overtime on top. Since we have fallen off the Dave Ramsey bandwagon, we hope to jump back on and knock out baby step #2 - DEBT! After a couple months, all we will have left is student loans and we will attack those with a vengeance. I want to own my education.
So if you don't hear from us for awhile don't fret. We're still here. It's almost like we're hibernating but we'll be back in October! :)

I've been praying for you guys in the wee hours, when I'm up with Silas.
