I haven't updated my blog like I used to do in Utah. I don't want to say that I have been too busy but I have been. Lately I don't know what to write about and since there has been so much going on I know that I would have to sit down for hours at a time to post. I guess that is what I get for not doing in at least weekly. Another problem is that once I sit down to write about one thing then all these other things come to mind and I go crazy typing. . . which will probably happen know. So if you don't have much time then you probably don't want to keep reading.
Law School is expensive, Florida is expensive too. Law School for us right now is at 35,000 a year, now that doesn't include books and all the other stuff you need to get. The good thing is that we won't so much debt as some of the other students b/c Daniel got a good scholarship, he just needs to get good grades in order to keep it. Housing is soo expensive plus gas and everything else. We have a very small three bedroom apartment with two "full" bathrooms and 1 "walk in" closet in the "master bedroom". I am not complaining, well maybe a little. But I know that we have to go through some tough times before things get better and I know they will. This past year was much easier for me to see the "vision" as Daniel calls it. The vision of having a home with a big yard where the kids can run around, a barn with animals, 2 cars, a garage and tons of storage space. CAN'T WAIT!
For 5 months I worked at a Chiropracters office in Fort Myers (30 minutes from home). I liked my job b/c I went in there knowing what I was supposed to do, knowing that if a patient came in with a sore neck they could leave feeling better. . . knowing my job. At this job I got paid more than I ever have in any other job and I felt wonderful, $15 dollars and hour was good. I brought money into our home the first couple weeks, even though I was only working part time. Part time for me was 3 days a week 5 hours a day. Not bad, huh? Once Daniel started school things got a little harder. We had to find a babysitter and having a babysitter meant losing money. When this happened we started to realize that working part time wasn't going to help much with the bills so I then went on to full time. Full time work included 3 days a week 10 hours a day. The days were long and and endless. I Needed to be at work by 7 which meant I had to leave Naples by 6:30 a.m., but before that I had to drop off the kids at the babysitters at 6 and then drop off poor Daniel at school. I would then get off work by 6 if I was lucky. I would pick Daniel up from school then the kids and then home by 7:30 - 8:00 pm. By that time my feet were so tired, my hands hurt and I just wanted to crash! My kids would miss me so much and they required a lot of my attention b/c they hadn't seen me all day.
