The past week has not gone exactly as I thought they would. After finding out that Nick didn't get into the school he wanted, we've been house hunting. Unfortunately, here where we live, we can't afford anything more than a trailer. That was a huge let down for me. We decided that it wasn't in our best interest to buy a home right now because Nick doesn't want to stay where he is forever. So we looked into what we could afford to rent. We can't afford much more than a 1 bedroom apartment. And seeing that we have two boys, a one room apartment won't cut it. It's been exhausting and disappointing as we've searched. I've cried a few times, and poor Nick, he's doing all the he can with the money that he makes. It just is so hard to live on one income these days. So I don't know. I guess we just need to move some place where we can afford to live.
I had another blow come today. It's been nine months since my car accident and my knee is still not any better. I went to the knee doctor today for another check up. I was afraid that he was going to tell me that it's still bruised and that we just need to wait and see. I was not going to be happy with that answer. It's been 9 whole months since the car accident - you cannot sit there and tell me that my knee is still bruised. Thankfully he didn't tell me that. Unfortunately, he thinks there is some cartilage damage and he wants to go in and check it out. So they scheduled me for outpatient knee surgery to do a scope of my knee. If there is damage, he will repair it and I'll be on crutches for 3 weeks. If there is no damage, then I'll be on crutches for a day, but that means that I have permanent damage to my knee. That's stinky! So we'll see what happens here after February 6. I'm a little scared to have this done, but I know that it will be for the best in the end, I guess...

Bless y'all's heart! I'm sure a lot of that is very frustrating. It's SO expensive out here in the east. It was mind blowing to me when I talked to my friend who just bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house- and she's paying LESS for her morgage than what I pay for RENT for my apartment. UGH!
I had a really hard past two years with a lot of let downs and changes...but thankfully the Lord knows better than I do. I can see if I hadn't gone through what I did- I NEVER would be here today in the job that I love and in a location that I love (even though I hate how expensive housing is). Hang in there!!! The blessings will come (maybe your house still has people in it! So ya gotta wait for them to leave :) ) Who knows?! You're awesome!!
