So good news since the last time I posted. Brian got a job working for a framing company that builds houses. He loves being outside. Best part is...it's in MINNESOTA!!! I absolutely love having him around all the time. It sure beats Skype!!
We came down to TX to see what we can do to get out of our lease here early. It was to go through Feb. 2012, but thanks to a friend who did some checking for us, once we give notice the apartment complex has to "make good faith effort" to re-rent. That doesn't release us from paying until it is rented again though. Hope it happens sooner than later. $1000 a month for a 2 bedroom with 2 garages is killing us money wise. Although finding a place to store this stuff once we get out of the lease... a bit of a challenge. Moving things from across the country is proving to be a bit of an expensive challenge. So if anyone knows of a way to move 2 vehicles and "Texas" sized furniture let me know. (BTW- neither vehicle is running). Just one more challenge to overcome.
It has been very busy working 2 jobs. I rarely get a day off, which is a good thing as far as getting paid, but it takes a toll on this old body of mine! I am really enjoying visiting with people from all over the country. It kind of surprised me the number of people that stay in Monticello and Becker from all over the place. People are generally very nice and love to visit. (One of my many specialties...talking) Although, I do have to say that doing laundry, vacuuming, making beds, stripping beds, making cookies, doing dishes, balancing the money.... you would think I was managing my own home. I feel like I have 2 very big houses to keep in order! Yikes!! But I love it.
I am in Texas and enjoying having time off from work and just spending it with Brian. No real plans until we figure out money to move his stuff. We do have to go to his daughter Ambre's home and move out some of his stuff he had there when he was living with her. She is selling her house. I'm happy for her. It will be good to be able to get out of the mortgage when it sells. She needs a new/fresh start and she is on her way.
Kristine is a go-go dancer along with driving for the bus company over the summer. It surprises me how many people think that a go-go dancer is a "stripper"!! UGH so far from the truth! They dance with a band at a number of different clubs and all around have a good time! She is loving it and enjoying life. She is going to LasVegas with her boyfriend in a couple days to meet his dad. Funny how she is nervous but she is such an amazing person she really has nothing to worry about. Also, she is ready to go back to school in the fall. She has her AA degree, but is ready for more.
Luke graduated from HS on Friday, June 3rd. I am so glad to be done with the school system. Also very glad he is done. He is not planning on going to school right away in the fall. He is taking a break. This will be very good for him. It will allow him to refocus on what he wants for his future and the best way for him to attain that. In the meantime he is working and saving up for a car. Yeah for Luke!
Long enough post for now. It's been awhile so I had a lot to catch up on.
God has me on a path, and I am seeing a direction now. I am still working on the "patience" part of the plan, but I/we will get there!! I appreciate and continue to ask for prayers for guidance, success, and staying within my goals.
