I have been married for almost three years and am loving every minute of it. I miss Oregon at times because the view of mountains from the apartment was so awesome to have in both directions and the weather was less humid. I am happy to be back in Illinois for two years and be near to family. in the course of almost three years of marriage I have had only temporary jobs. I didn't have a full job in Oregon though I had done a few vendor shows and a home party for Thirty-One it never really took off because Oregon's economy was worse than Illinois. Then when we moved back it was really just me and my family that bought from me so I still never got it off the ground. I enjoyed the two temporary retail jobs that I had even though I was surprised that I enjoyed them so much. Then I worked for a while with a before and after school program but it wasn't the right timing for that position. I finally got my licenses about a month ago after lessons with a driving school.
Back in December I had found a job with a company working with those with mental disabilities but because it took me so long to get my license I lost out because they couldn't keep the original position open indefinitely and then about two weeks before I got my license they called again because they had another opening but because I didn't have my license I missed out and by the time I got my license they had filled the vacancy. So I was back to square one and had to start applying places again. Thank God there was a similar position at another company that I was able to apply to. That company called and I had an interview and am in the hiring process. So now I am doing a little research on the side to learn more about autism and how it can affect the brain chemistry and what autism is.
Since my husband and I have moved back to illinois we had moved once and probably will move again. I have not been as stir crazy because my husband works from home and I have the cat. Though I still have not gotten myself on a cleaning schedule for the house or the cat box. I need to get on a cleaning schedule with the house so that I know when to do a deep clean and then tidy up the rest of the time.
I need to get back to working some on my story that I had begun and see if I can break ground on it. I haven't been able to get past chapter 3 because I keep restarting it since the flow doesn't feel right for it. I also need to get myself in the Bible and study more regularly. I am at a standstill with the marriage study that I was doing so I need to finish the book Marriage is a God thing and then maybe read and research so scriptures about marriage. Eventually I will get another book that was suggested to me to read as part of the study. But I also need to read at least twice a week so I need to get myself on a reading schedule. I need to compel my husband to join me in bible study but I think we need to find a couples bible study to do.
We have been regularly attending a church and now we are going to try a different church that my husband now the pastor at. So hopefully soon I can also find a ministry to become part of through volunteering. I am glad that spring has sprung. My husband and I have started taking walks again. There for a while I was doing the just dance game on wii to give me some energy and to get me moving every so often. I also want to start using my nook again so that I can get more use out of it. I hardly use it.
