So it has been just a little bit since the last time that I blogged, and to be completely honest these past couple months I have been busy and SO much has been going on. Life for me now is more different than it ever has been. Wow I had to stop for a second because I feel like that is a complete understatement. We have dealt with (and still are dealing with) pretty much everything that could happen to a husband and wife. We have been married almost 8 months and have been fighting opposition from every corner along the way. At the same time we have found that when we are together we can defeat anything. We may not have believed it at times, but looking back I don't see how we are where we are and still doing so well. The only explination is that our love is true. I could sit here and probably spend the rest of the night blogging about everything that has happen in the past couple of months. Since I don't want to do that here is the short synopsis: WE ARE POOR! Holy hell are we poor. Since we have been married I have no idea how our bills have been paid. Yes we got some things shut off a couple of times, but always find a way to get bills paid. Being poor puts a strain on EVERYTHING. I don't care who you are if you have 0 dollars to your name for the most part of the month then you are feeling some sort of pressure. I am happy to report however that after 8 months of struggiling we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I have been working for AT&T for the past month and a half and been doing what needs to be done and combined with Amy finding way after way to make money we have learned roughly about 99% of the lessons we will learn in our lives. This is not an exageration so don't think to yoruself that Oh these kids have another thing coming. You don't realize what we have gone through. I wish I was musically inclined because I could write about 156 heart filled albums and make millions of dollars. I still think to myself how are we at this pont and how did we not just crumble and fall like some many have done before us. My wife is such a trooper and that has helped so much. We are almost to the point of living a normal life and not one worried with how are we going to get gas in the car or know the only thing left to eat is ramen. I know that Amy is and it may be in a different way than me but I am changing so much. I look back 8 months ago and see how much I feel like I have endured and come out stronger. I feel like I am being molded into the man that I want to be. Still have a lot to work on, but I have scratched out the old and openly welcome the new. I have had this blog on my mind for probably a couple of months and feel like I left out everything, but I have a business meeting in the morning and rather focus on making money than writing down all the crap I have to deal with. Hopefully it wont be 2 months before my next blog.
