the Lord decides to throw you a curve ball.
Rusty and I are having our first REALLY big challenge as a soon to be married couple. Everything with us is great it's just that my work decided to lay me off last week. I haven't told a lot of people, and maybe it's because I'm prideful about the whole situation, but it's pretty tough to hear that your job doesn't think they need you anymore.
So, gratefully Russ was listening and thought maybe we should look at other apartments that were cheaper and closer to certain areas, and we found one we LOVE before we signed a lease at another one. So, we are able to save money on rent as well as he can take the train to work everyday. With him driving a pick-up this is a HUGE plus.
This week I've learned some things about me though.
1. I don't do well with nothing to do. I have a need to stay busy. It really sucks having nothing to do.
2. Maybe I should have waited to plan some stuff for my wedding. Seeing as I thought I would be working until the week of the wedding I got as much finished early as possible. Now, it's a little over a month away and I don't have much to do other than invites. (Which everyone should be getting next week!)
3. I know what I want to do FINALLY and have started the process to get back to school for it. It only took me 27 years to know what I truly wanted!
4. I have an AMAZING family! I already knew this, but these last 2 weeks have truly strengthened my love for them. They have been nothing but supportive of me.
5. I am marrying someone who I know will support me through everything. Again, I knew this, but it has been reconfirmed. He is truly amazing. He has had to see me at some of my lowest points, and still stayed around.
So, in the end, I will get school started in January and finish up wedding stuff until then, and get our home set up. I will also be spending a lot of time at my mom's classroom. I'll help out with whatever she needs. It keeps me busy right?
Love y'all!

Sorry to hear about the job! That is tough, especially since you are just getting ready to get married! I am glad it is all working out though and we can't wait for the invite.
So what are you going to go back to school for now?
Ah yes, life throwing you a curve ball (blessing in disguise?) either way all is well. loved the announcement. we are so happy for you! chin up! life is good!
Thanks y'all. I'm not sure yet Amy what I'm going to study. I've applied for Texas State and will see what I can do with the classes I already have. I'm glad you like the invite Lori! To both of y'all... Rusty wants to make a trip to Utah sometime. Hopefully we will see you soon! Love ya!
When one chapter ends, remember another one begins. You don't get to "The End" until the Chief Editor says it is "the End." You are going to be fine. You are really just beginning. And it is going to be a great story! Be happy. Your mom is going to love having you in her classroom. All the Utah cuz'ins love you!
