Long Time No Blog

Jump to Comments

Sorry it has been so long since my last post I hadn’t even realized how long it had been until a friend brought it to my attention. Time flies when you are going crazy .

Overall things have been good. Mom is recovering well from her surgery and she is scheduled to return to work next week. She is still not sure if she will be able to handle a full days work but she is gaining strength daily and is eager to get out of the house.

Brian found a job that we are both very excited about. It is driving a forklift for the Kmart distribution center. It’s not what he was originally going for as he eventually plans to go back to school for a couple degrees then go into management in security but it is a great thing for now. He is able to work 1st shift so we can see each other a lot, the start off pay is good and will increase in 60 days and he will get full benefits and lots of over time which will help a lot with getting back on his feet and taking care of himself and the complications from his diabetes. So over all things are going good. Next step saving enough money to get an apartment so he doesn’t have to sleep on the parents couch anymore. . .

Things at my job are also going well. Pretty much the same old grind but I guess consistency is good even though I do get board with it. We are getting towards the end of our slow season so things should be picking up soon which will help the days go faster and not seem so tedious.

Jacob and Misty are planning a move to Texas for a job, apparently it was an offer they couldn’t refuse. . . Obviously the family is not to happy about that because we are so close and that will mean not only loosing Jacob and Misty but also the only grand-kid.

Dad also has an offer with the same company in Texas so he and mom are considering moving as well. They are torn between me and Jacob because they don’t want to be away from either of us so they are trying to convince me to move as well. I am having trouble with this idea because I love CO, I have spent the majority of my life here and even though I don’t spend a lot of time in the mountains I can’t imagine not being so close to them. I also have a good job and a stable life here. Not to mention that Brian is just now starting to get his life stable after giving everything up and moving here for me. I can’t ask him to give up and start over again for me. That just wouldn’t be fair. So as it sits I am loosing my brother, sister-in-law and niece and potentially my parents as well. We will just have to wait and see how this will pan out. . .
