So, I totally have not written anything since April! I went back and read my other blogs, and realized that I pretty much use this as a way to complain. I guess I have had nothing to complain about since April, because you know, I totally had my life re-figured out and this NEW plan was going to be the one, the ultimate plan, the one that worked out they way I wanted it to! Well, I'm guessing God had quite a chuckle in August when I found out we'd be MOVING again!!!! Now, don't get me wrong, I was and still am very excited to be back in my home state, but I have been very confused as to why it took so long! Why did we have to move? I mean, I was about to start school (something I was struggling with for a long time), I had a job set up with the most wonderful family, and I had and AWESOME group of friends/church family!
Fast forward:
Now we are entering the second week of November!! We are pretty much all moved in to our townhome, which I must say, is probably the nicest place we've ever lived in together! We live in Homestead, FL which for those of you who don't know your FL geography, that is SOUTH of Miami and is the city that Hurricane Andrew destroyed in 1992! Basically, we were advised to live in a gated community here...um yea.
Jamison is currently working 10 hour days, 6 yes I said SIX days a week! Starting next year his 60 hour work weeks will turn into 70-80 hour work weeks! Yay!
Hmm, let's see what else... oh that is right, I have NO job! Oh what bundles of fun that is. Yes, taking a vacation from work is nice, but when you have no money and no place to go, not working is the most boring thing. I applied for a teaching certificate and I am currently trying to work at ANY school that will take me in..or actually, ANY place that will take me! It is not the money that I am worried about, it is my SANITY! I don't know how people choose to be unemployed!
Well, let's see what else. Oh, I made sure that we found a church near us! We started going there about a month ago and we enjoy it. No church could ever compare to our beloved Trinity, but it will be ok. I am already signed up to teach 3 year old Sunday school and we are thinking if joining a young couples group (kind of like a CG).
Needless to say, even though I am happy to be home and near my family, I still have to re-adjust! BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT the thing that puts the cherry on top of all of this experience is this: in a little less than a year and 1/2, we will be moving again (a small, minor detail that was not really mentioned to us when this job was offered). Oh joy, another place where I will have to try and make new friends, find a new church, and maybe find a job (ha).
