November

Where to start. This month has really put us through the ringer.

Lets start with David. There was an opening at work for a full time salaried position. This would be wonderful, all of our problems would be answered if he were to get this type of a position. Sadly, however, it was not to be. Two weeks of waiting and we found out that the he did not even get an interview. Needless to say I did not take it so well. In all honesty, I am worried about money, and I was so excited that we might actually be able to start a family. It took a couple of days and he finally broke down as well. Currently he is working away at work, where might I add, they are finally giving him hours (after two months of working 10 hours per week) in other areas incase he is not getting enough. Last week there was some crazy stuff that happened with David's boss, who might actually be loowing his position, we find out tomorrowish, if this is the case we return to the waiting stage as David will most definately apply for the position. The sad thing is with teh economy the way it is there are tons of highly qualified people applying for these positions, but you never know....

As for me, I have been teaching, this is my last month at Springvill Jr. High. My students are definatly not excited to see me go, which warms my heart, and I will miss them, but I have to admit I can not wait for the break. Work has been about average, my right hand, Dianna, has been gone teaching in Salt Lake, which caused a few problems, and my pain in the..well you know, actually quit!!! I still get giddy at the thought of it. I am hoping that next semester really shapes up and that I will be getting more hours and actual recognition for the work that I am doing. I was planning on substitute teaching for Nebo and Alpine school districts next semester to get my name out and make a little extra money, but currently this may not be a possibility. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

As for the two of us. I honestly do not know what I would do without this man. Yeah, he is a man and there are days I want to scream, but he loves me and tries in every possible way to show it to me.

New dawn of a New Day

It is surprising how little things change and how much they can change at the exact same time. David and I have been married for three months now and at times it still feels like we are still dating or have even just met. I woke with a migraine this morning and David did not miss a beat, he prepared for church while checking on me, closed all of the blinds, and brought me some pain pills.

There are times that I do not feel worthy, me in my onery, nitpicking state, to be married to a man whose main priority in life is to make me smile. If he ever realizes that he has hurt me in some minor way he is quick to apologize in his sweet way, and do something to make up for the hurt. Anything to make me smile.

This blog is not meant to white wash the reality of our marriage, or the creation of our new family, but to catolog the good and the bad for our own record and that of those we love. I can not promise to put in the little scirmishes or even the wars between the two of us, but I will always attempt to show the unbiased view of the events that pass between us as we proceed through our life together.
