Seasons

Less than a year ago, I wanted to leave my husband. Things were just horrible and you can read back in this blog for more details, but I will sum it up as the worst time of my life. I was trying everything to change things, but now I realize that he had to change on his own. Well, good news, it has happened!

We are both working now, which alleviates a lot of stress. Knowing that we now hold the ability to better our situation makes things so much easier. Neither of us are making lots, but Robert knows that just by working a little overtime, our income soars to levels that put us above and beyond our needed income and I believe that power has brought him out of his deep, dark depression.

This isn't to say things are perfect, when he does work late I am stuck home without a vehicle and this is very difficult, to say the least. Luckily we now live closer to our parents, so the moms give me rides around town, which I appreciate immensely, but at the same time feel horrible for. I hate mooching, but at this point the money just isn't there to get me a car. And it won't be for a while because I must get my wisdom teeth pulled ASAP. The dentist told me once they start getting infected, it will only keep coming back until they are pulled.

Anyway, on to more positive stuff, I have lost over 16 pounds since moving. Robert has gained that working at a desk job (lol) but hopefully soon I will talk him into walking with me at the park. It is nearly fall, and today really feels like it. I honestly could not be happier (well, unless I had a car, but we can't have everything). Things are finally looking up and I owe it to my family and friends that have been there supporting me through the last couple of years, which looking back were even more difficult than I was admitting at the time.

I don't know where I would be without the support of several people that were always there to listen to me and hold me while I cried and one in particular that would drop everything and come over when I needed her.

I just hope that things continue to get better and I know that everything we have been through has made us stronger as a family and I suppose that makes it all worth it.
