Change of Plans....

Well, I think I've decided to put off moving out for a few months. I'm still going to do it, but I want to be more stable than I am right now. I think if I wait three or four months then I will be much better off then doing it in one week. I can find a way to make it work for a few more months. We've done it for two years, whats a little longer? That will give me longer to work more and save more so I will be ready and able to afford living alone instead of wondering how on earth I would make it by each month! So, I haven't canceled my plans, just delayed. ;) I still really feel its time for us to move out, but when I'm a little more stable. This decision brings me comfort, so it must be the right one. ;)

2. We have a washing machine that uses about 1/3 of water than most, its very eco-friendly!
3. We compost leaves and grass clippings to use for our garden instead of chemicals.

Quick Update...


Where do I begin!? Crazy week! I'll start with the most tragic news of all. Abby cut her hair!! It was horrible! I wasn't home and my mom called me at work and told me the bad news but it wasn't even close to how bad I thought it was! She butchered it! So the next day we went to the salon and had to get it fixed and the girl that was "trying" to fix the diasster kept looking at me and said "You look so sad" I AM!! It took almost four years to get her hair the lenght it was! But it will be ok, it will grow back :( I am just so glad we got pictures taken the week before!


Lets see what was next, it wasn't the best of weeks. I had some bad work stuff goin on. Then yesterday was my old anniversary. The first one since the big "D". On a better note I did go to a singles activity last weekend and that was a lot of fun! I met a lot of new people and some old friends I hadn't seen in a long time. It was nice to go.
The apartment hunt is still on, still planning on early March. Starting to get stuff ready for school in the fall. Scholarships and all that fun stuff. Just working and getting through each day right now. Thats all I can do!

Hello out there...

This seems to be the new thing! So I guess I'd better "catch up with the Jones'!" Well I guess I'll start with a quick update. I have decided to take this semester off and work full time. Abby and I are moving out of my parents house in March and getting our own apartment!! I'm so excited and terrified and there are just so many emotions. I have no idea how I'm going to do it or how its going to work! All I know is that I have prayed about it and somehow it will work! So, thats big news for us!! Then I will start at IUS in August. Still trying to decide what to go into! Thats been kind of stressful too, not know what to get my degree in. Right now there are three things I'm considering. Teaching, Business, and Nursing (X-Ray, I would love to do something like ultrasounds). There are so many pros and cons about each field. I guess I'm just hoping that I have more general classes to get done before I need to start in a specific program. Well thats the short version. I kind of want too play with my blog some more! :)
