I have been blessed, I look around at my life now and can't believe I am here at this point in my life, one of the happiest points I can remember in a long time. I have almost everything I want in life, and I DEF have everything I need and this is a great place to be. Yes everything isn't perfect but those things seem insignificant or acheieveable in the near future and I am satisfied with that today. I have a husband that loves that socks off of me, a great family that I am just getting to know and am becoming very close to, I have two great furry babies, a church that makes me excited to get up on Sunday mornings just to hear what God has in store for me and I could go on and on. I have been blessed beyond measure since we have moved back to the US which makes me believe that this is exactly where we are supposed to be.
To top off the blessings in my life, the best one so far is that after a 6 year silence between my brother and I he has finally forgiven me for a hurtful comment I made and we are slowly putting our relationship back on track, which alone in itself removes a major hurt from my heart. Speaking of family, my Mom's long lost (but known about) brother and his wife are playing a major role in my life now and I couldn't be more happy. I finally have an extended family that A. Doesn't hate me for moving out of the US and B. Loves me and my mother and the rest of our family UNCONDITIONALLY. It's a great feeling and I hope that all of you out there in internet land that is reading this right now will someday, or already have, experienced this sort of love.
I am starting work on Aug 20th which means we can finally start to put away some serious money for our house down payment. I am excited to start on this journey, I have an estate agent sending me info on mortgages, FHA loans and all the goodies that come with homeownership. I CAN NOT wait to own my own home, I have some specifics that I want in a house that I am not willing to compromise on but these are few and I am pretty open minded about what we get. I have to be open minded about what we get because our budget is rather limited, I would love to buy a fixer upper but neither Roy or I know how to fixer upper much of anything. I think we can handle painting and stuff of that nature but anything beyond that is a mystery and expensive. All that being told I still excited to enter into this lifelong relationship with the bank and get into my own house where I can strut around nekkid if I so felt that need to do so.
The dogs are doing great, Capone is growing up and testing everything that he can reach, most of all my patience and the taste of the mulch outside. Dillinger is tolerating Capone but does have to remind him that NO he would not a like a french kiss, but they are finding their place in the house. We had to take Capone to the vet the other day because he had picked up a virus or ate something that didn't agree with him. However with some tender loving care from our fab Vet and my credit card he is back to his old self.
Roy is doing really well to, he is enjoying his job at Weis as a butcher and I think secretly likes all the attention his accent brings him, though he would never admit that. Roy is enjoying being the bread winner and I am enjoying being the happy housewife, for the moment.
I don't have a whole lot to report on this front apart from my happiness and the continued blessings in my life. Look at me I wrote a completely positive blog...
