Life got a little crazy there for a bit, so I decided to take a bit of a break from blogging. There was so much going on, allot that I couldn't post or wasn't ready to post, so I thought best to take a vacation.
Here's a brief over view of the last few months:
- Sick in hospital right after Christmas w/stomach junk
- Lots of testing and money for tummy junk
- Pretty decent bill of health from Dr.'s bout tummy, just new meds and follow up over the next few months
- Visiting Taylor Fam & Florida
- Working lots of over time
- Ben job searching...which he was doing for bout a year
- House still for sale, no bites...lower house price...think we're in contract...fell through
- Travel to Arkansas/Memphis area for job interview for Ben--turned into a nice lil vaca
- Turn down job in AR
- Working lots of over time
- I traveled to CA to visit w/friends & help Alana w/wedding stuff bout 2 months ago
- I traveled CA again to see g-parents and parents & friends again (for short visit)
- Ben took a new job in Ulysses, KS--a hour southwest of us
- Last 3 weeks-current...
- Ben living in hotel during the week, returning home to Cimarron on weekends to see me
- Ben looking for rental house for 3 weeks & finally finding one this week, getting keys tomorrow
- Ben working long long hours & new job playing catch up and getting ready for upcoming business of "farming life"
- Me working lots of overtime
- Me getting ready to move into rental w/co-worker in Jetmore (near work) during the days that I work and then going to Ulysses to see Ben on off days
- House still for sale, reducing price again, considering long term renters
- Today, spent crazy hours shopping for Ben & new rental place and cleaning up house in Cimarron
That is all just a "summary" of the last few months. During all of this, life has definitely been throwing in lots of "growing pains."
My life lessons learned through all of this...
- Life is extremely short and valuable!
- Live life as simply as you can
- Do what makes you happy, even if others frown on it
- Make sure you take the time to communicate with your partner, friends and family
- Communication is KEY to all relationships in life!!!
- Frequently take moments to spend time with loved ones, and doing things you love!
- Don't stress the small stuff
- Prayer is powerful and goes a long way!
- Be proud of the decisions you've made and the paths that you have gone down in life.
These last few months have been full of lots of challenges. But, through it all, I have continually been reminded of the amazing friends and family that I have.
I am officially bk to blogging...hope you enjoy!
