I'm back to it. It's been entirely way too long since I've posted anything on here. It's insane how much has happened/changed. You see, our computer died, then everything else went up in a whirlwind.
Let me start at the beginning.
In I believe it was in June, we visited our friends JD and Callie in Oregon. Just for a quick weekend visit. While we were in Portland we stopped by the Diesel store and I was told a Visual position was opening up very soon and that I could transfer in before the fall. So, when I got the word that it was true, I put in my notice, and I got ready to leave. Unfortunately I was getting ready to go alone. Deuce would have to stay behind and finish the house to put on the market.
On September 3rd Deuce and I, along with our dogs, embarked on the journey to Oregon.
So, here I am, staying with the very gracious JD and Callie, in their home with my two crazy dogs.
I am working for Diesel in Portland, and the only two things I could complain about are as follows:
1. My commute. Yes, I was spoiled rotten in Denver with my 7-15 minute commute, and I see that now, because I have to drive at least an hour and fifteen minutes to and from work everyday. It's not my favorite thing to do, but I'm trying to make the best of it and use my time wisely, and listen to NPR or MARS HILL podcasts.
2. Deuce not being here. THIS is the big one. Being separated from your husband isn't fun. I married the guy because I enjoy his company. Not to have a long distance stupid relationship...
And I do hate the fact that he is all alone working on that damn house. I was visiting every weekend to help him, but now that the holiday season is right around the corner, I must be present for all the store's holiday meetings which fall on Sundays. But this is just temporary, and it will pass, and I will soon have my husband in my life on a day-to-day basis again and he will be MUCH happier after walking away from that house.
We are hoping he will be able to drive out here mid-November, and he'll just fly back and forth to keep the airline gig until the house sells. Callie has also set up a job for him in her company. It pays quite well, which we need right now, because we need to get out of debt and be able to settle down. In a NEW house that needs NO renovations.
Prayer needs:
That Deuce will get help on the house on a regular basis, so he can move up here sooner than later.
That we are financially taken care of one way or another.
Books I'm reading:
I just finished A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius-Dave Eggars.
Mere Christianity-CS Lewis, I've never read this, but I'm very excited.
