So where have I been??
Well, after the wedding, Nate and I had a bit of bad luck, which has actually lasted... a long time. It started in late August, and it still sucks now. Since the wedding, I have been laid off, we have been a little strapped in the cash department, and almost been evicted! OMG. I know. Harsh. But being awesome tenants, who are always a little too honest, our leasing company has grown to love us, and put up with us being down on our luck. Which I thank GOD for every day. It is always nice to get a break like that.
SPEAKING OF. We are moving back home in April. My mom has been talking with us, and we ((Nate, Mom, and I ... also everyone else I talk to)) think that Nate and I should move back in with her for about a year or so, until I finish school.
I know, newlyweds living with mom? How fun right? Well, we would be paying rent, but significantly less rent than what we are paying now, and we would be saving a TON of money. Money that could go to.... Oh, I don't know... A HOUSE!!!!!
That's right!!! IT'S HOUSE SAVING TIME PEOPLE!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
Oh the other question, why haven't I graduated yet??? Why was I in physical therapy??? Well the answer to that was that I was hit by a drunk driver last year!!!! It has proven to have been one of the worst experiences of my life. Not only has it been painful (( I injured my neck, shoulder, and back)) but it has taken up a TON of my time, ((with therapy and doctor's visits)) and a TON of my money ((my car was totalled, and we had to buy a WHOLE NEW FREAKING CAR)) Well, the car was used, of course. (((I would NEVER buy a new car. It freaks me out)) But it was more expensive than the last one, which was FREE.
The whole issue with the guy that hit me seems to be ending soon, and after all the legal crap is done, I will post pictures of the accident and my totaled car... and me in the hospital.
But all of this prevented me from taking the classes I needed. (( I had to drop them because I couldn't handle all the stuff going on. That, and I can't sit very long in the desks at school anymore without being in pain... Nor can I carry around a book bag anymore for the same reason.))
But this year, I have high hopes that our luck will change. Or I will make it change!!!!
I am looking forward to the changes we will have with moving, being able to save money, helping my mom out ((and seeing her more. I MISS HER!!!!)) And spending some more time with my brother.
Being positive about things brings more positive things toward you. This is what I have learned through our hard times. I have to look on the bright side a little more. You know? The accident could have killed me. But it didn't. And the best thing that has come out of all of this is the amazing support I have had the privilege to receive from my husband. I have learned that together, we can get through some pretty tough stuff, and that is worth more than I could have ever imagined.
