Decisions Made

After what was probably the hardest month of my marriage we've been through yet, we've made it through with a few bumps and bruises, but stronger all the same.

I finally broke down and told Nick exactly what I was feeling about him doing this program. After hysterical tears and a few hugs later, I was certain that Nick wasn't going to do the program. At least that's what it seemed like. After some miscommunication, or rather, misleading, Nick tells me that he's doing the program with or without my support, and that it's going to be the best thing for us. Okay, so after more hysterical crying and drama (darn this pregnancy hormone stuff!), I finally accept what he's decided.

I've known about all the benefits that will come from this program. I want all of those benefits, but I have a hard time seeing the end result because I'm still a little focused on the getting-to-that part. The 6 months of him not working. Six months of him being gone. And so forth. But I know it'll be the best thing for us.

So here we are. In six months we will put all of our things in storage, move in with my mom and dad for those months Nick's in school. Nick will quit his job just before starting this program on March 15. He'll finish up the end of August. Hopefully find a job shortly after because we only have enough money for 8 months of him not having a job. So, this will require a lot of prayer from our part. A lot more faith on my part. And hard work from Nick. I'm still not thrilled to be doing this, but I know that it will work out. I just wish I knew where we were going to be next Christmas, but time will tell.
