Good morning everyone, I’ll just start by saying our weekend has NOT been boring. We’ve accomplished an out-of-state move, something that I had no idea could be so exhausting. I thought we were organized and maybe we were, but I’ve yet to find most things that I need.
The worst part right now is that I’m blogging from a hospital room – Mr. Frugal got sick Friday afternoon and was in bed basically until last night when I took him to the ER. He’s been in a lot of pain, turns out it’s gallstones. Seeing your spouse in pain is very scary. I’m a bit overwhelmed with everything this weekend, so many changes all at once leave me feeling very uneasy. The saving grace has been my in-laws, they took the trip up with us to Oregon and they’ve been an invaluable source of help. They’ve helped set up rooms, unpack boxes, and take care of the kids while I’m with Jeremy.
We also had the wonderful opportunity to meet a reader and her family. They showed up at our house on Saturday and stayed for several hours helping us unload our moving truck. They moved here from the Bay Area just over a month ago themselves and we’re looking forward to exploring Oregon together.
I’m so thankful for our team of TFF helpers – stepping up to the plate behind the scenes bringing deals to you while I’m unable to. Things will be back to normal soon, in the meantime, thank you SO VERY much for continuing to visit TFF. When you do, you’re supporting our family in many ways and it means the world to us.
HIS grace is sufficient, I know that. I just need an extra dose right now, we’d also appreciate your prayers for health and a peace for our children who are all a bit out of sorts right now.

You have definitely been dealt quite the hand! All the best to you! I just moved two months ago (home and business) and I know how hard it is! We only moved two miles but all of the packing and unpacking still have to be done. Now you have been given the added stress of your hubby un the hospital! They say we are only given that which we can handle, but it’s ok to wonder who said you could handle so much!! Hang in there! Prayers are comIng your way!!
