It's 2010... time for new year's resolutions... better at blogging/connecting.
Here is our update:
Selling our house still in Fortuna, had a lot of partial bites, but financing for others have always been a problem. I'm getting fairly worried about it all, but I'm trying to let go of what I cannot change, and try to change what I can. I am trying to let things take their course. With all this selling, we are buying a place back in Blue Lake. I can't wait to move back permanently. Fortuna has been ok, but as far as our social lives, we are north bay people. We belong back in Blue Lake, and the communities of Arcata and McKinleyville, allong with Blue Lake. When things become more permanent, I'll be posting more.
The boys are doing well. The one thing I really LOVED about Fortuna is the school. They had a great education at Amborsini, and i"m a little worried about their education at Blue Lake, but so far, things haven't been too bad. They have been integrating back to the blue lake school life just fine. They go to the afterschool program every day, and Xavier has a really good friend who goes there, quinn a few, so this has been ok.
I am now working in Arcata. I finally quit my horrible job at Rainbow Junction, took me 10 months to finally quit. I had let the need for money get in the way of my happiness and my family's happiness. I was sick, A LOT, due to stress, and the fact that this place reallly was not the healthiest place. I went back to Northcoast Children's Services, and I now work for Children of the Redwoods Infant and Toddler Center. The pay is considerably less, but the work is 10x better! It was worth it, and we are struggling a little with money, but me being happy makes everyone else a bit more happy too.
Justin seems happy still working at Streamline Planning... he does a lot of crazy computer IT stuff. He also does a lot of music still, and of course Humboldt basketball!
Well, for now,we are commuting to and from EVERYDAY... we get up and leave at 7:25. I drop off justin at work, then drop off the boys at school (luckily their school doesn't start until 8:30!!) then I go off and work out at Curves. Sometimes, I do extra work out... running/walking, or swimming. Then I go to work at 12 o'clock, and after work is done, I pick up the boys, then pick up justin. On M and Th I take Xavier to Karate, so we don't pick up justin until 6:30. On T we drop off Justin at Eureka Symphony, and for this month, on Wed. I had rehearsals for chamber music on wednesdays. Weekends get taken up by cleaning up the house here in Fortuna, or fixing up the new house in Blue Lake. We are busy!! We also really want to try to get out to family every week, at least 1, if not 2 family member's houses for dinner and visiting. We are trying! So.. here's to a new year, and hopefully i have more to blog about this year!!
