All moved into Mom and Dad's. Pretty much settled. Brian seems to have adjusted well to the home here. I made pictures of each of his 5 daughters and hung them up in our bedroom. Brought tears in his eyes. He loves his girls so much and misses them terribly. There is a lot of history behind some of the relationships with them and hopes someday to be able to get them all together again. They are all strong beautiful women and are all destined to "go places". He is very proud of each of them and brags about them all the time.
Brian is working for a framer in the Twin Cities. Not the easiest guy to work for but Brian tries to bring his positive attitude and sense of humor to each day at work. Poor guy hasn't had to pay state taxes in the past 30 years and found out what fun it is to live in a state that takes about 1/3 of his paycheck. He was not a very happy camper with that one. We are trying to find ways to earn extra money to get his stuff moved up to MN. My daughter has a lead on a trailer and semi with someone to drive it but the gas might cost more than we have. (Which at this point is zero) But when it is to happen the Lord will help us find a way.
I am getting excited for school to start up again. Knowing I only have 4 semesters left is very encouraging. I really enjoy my classmates also. Out of 250+ applicants only 40 make it in the program each semester, and then we are with that group throughout the program. It will make us all pretty tight and develop life long friendships with each other.
I am trying to find a place to schedule my Certified Nursing Asst test out. I've left messages at Anoka tech and St. Cloud tech. Since I am a nursing student I do not have to retake the classes for becoming a nursing assistant. (Also I was one for over 25 years). I can make a lot more money as a nursing asst than in my current jobs. Although I do love working with people from all over the country. It has been an amazing experience. I do know that accounting is NOT my thing, as far as charging people for their rooms, etc. But I am getting the hang of it. Wish I could work more day shifts instead of the evening shifts though. Going to be tough when school starts and I need to get up "early" everyday instead of sleeping in.
My car is having issues and I have been trying to get my ex to give me the car my daughter was driving. It is becoming a struggle. We did not list the cars in the divorce decree so they are legally still in both of our names. All I can say is- I know I made the right decision to move on. Enough said.
Love living on the river. Waking up here is like being in a resort. Absolutely gorgeous.
