Long Hours

The past 2 weeks I've worked over 46 hours both weeks, so needless to say I've been exhausted. The frustrating part is that in order for me to use the majority of my 1,000 hours before the end of June, I have to work over 46 hours every week from now until June 20th.

After I get home from work (which isn't any earlier then 5:30), fix dinner, and eat I'm ready for bed. Our house is a mess, laundry is done but not folded, the majority of junk I moved prior to our bathroom being remodeled is still sitting on the dining room table and floor, the stuff I tried organizing upstairs is still sitting out (which doesn't bother me as much because I don't have to look at it if I don't want to). I'm tired of seeing this stuff, but I've no energy or time to put it away. I keep thinking when I go back down to part time I'll be able to get it done, but that won't be until the end of JUNE. I can't wait that long. I need a weekend where I don't have to work or AngelFood or church commitments so that I can put this house back together. I feel like everything else in my life is getting my 100% except my husband and our life. I can't stand it because my heart is in my home. Everyday I leave at 7am I can't WAIT to get home. It makes it really hard to leave every day.

Please pray for me. I need a break. We're going to Florida in 18 days, and it can't come soon enough! However, I know I won't want to come home because I'll be coming back to working 46+ hours weeks. RRRrrrrrr!!!! Lord, please help me!

Starting to Dream about Gainesville....

So this weekend Katie and I discussed my future schooling and I have decided that starting this summer I will return to Bowling Green State University Firelands, in a full time capacity, in an effort to finish my Associate of Arts so that I can transfer to an actual 4 year university that is not BGSU or OSU. That being said I feel that form my perspective things are beginning to fall in line for a move to Gainesville, and I am in fact beginning to Dream of life outside of O-H-whatever.(I just can't say it)

So I would have to say the move is looking better and better.

Back to work.....I guess....maybe.....

Well, I went to the doctor to see about my ankle and he said that I was progressing as excepted and that it was basically up to me when I wanted to go back to work. So we decided on Monday the 21th, just to give me a little piece of mind and help me ankle heal a bit more. So as of Monday I will be back at work, I guess.

Thanks for all those who've prayed for me and I pray you will continue to pray for me.

I'm tired

I'm really tired, so this won't be long.

Something exciting~today we had a family member (you know who you are, and we are SO grateful for your love, support, and motivation!) offer to pay for part of our rent for the duration of Mar's schooling should we choose to move to Gainesville. I told Mar that this is just another sign that this is what God wants us to do. Then I get home from work, and what do I find in the mail? The copy of the apartment finder booklet that I had requested over a week ago and had forgotten about! How odd is it that we would get an offer for our rent to be paid, and then get this in the mail on the same day?! So we started looking through the book and then online at apartments. In one way I'm excited, but in another I'm already tired of looking for options for if/when we decide to do this.

Mar goes back to the Orthopedic doctor tomorrow morning about his ankle. Please pray that the dr. says he can go back to work on Wednesday.

Please continue to pray for us!

Something Has to Change

So we have a HUGE, life changing decision that we need to make. We haven't had to face this kind of decision before, and in the grand scheme of life it's probably not so huge. But in our life thus far, it's Big!

A couple of weeks ago we found out that I have at least one symptom of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Basically what it means is that we're going to have a hard time getting pregnant on our own, and will probably have to have fertility treatments. At this point in our life we aren't in the position to afford to have a baby. I know, I know, we'll never be able to afford to have a child. But we really can't afford it right now. We're barely making it as it is with just the two of us.

Now that I've grieved over the fact that babies aren't going to happen for us right now, I'm realizing that life is pretty blah. If we don't put forth the effort to make a change in our life now, this will be our life forever. Struggling every week to pay our bills, and not able to afford the things that are important to us.

God opened my eyes last week that the change that needs to be made will more then likely include us moving away from Ohio and the safety net that surrounds us. Of course this is thrilling to Marshall as our main option is to move to Florida. We already had plans to travel to Florida next month, so while we're there we're going to go to Gainesville and check into what it would take to transfer to the University of Florida.

Surprisingly, I'm actually excited about the possibility of moving. I don't know what God has in store for us, but I'm getting excited that there are options out there for us to live a better life. Please be praying for us as we seek His will for our life, and what He wants us to do next!
