Happy New Year to all of our friends and family! As for us, we rang in the New Year with the stomach flu. It wasn't a very exciting evening except for the fact that 2011 faded away as 2012 waltzed in and took center stage. It has been a while since I have posted here and that is mostly due to the fact that 2011 was a year of major transition for us. One year ago at this time, I was pretty depressed, unemployed with no job prospects on the horizon. Trent was in his first week of a terrible delivery job that he hated and we had decided to move in with my mom as a precursor to losing our home as a result of our both having been unemployed for extended periods of time.
Today, I have a good job with a company that offers free tuition for employees, and I am enrolled in a Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Argosy University. Trent has a new job working as a mechanic for the Town of Gilbert, he works day shift, loves the work environment and to top it off, makes more money than he ever did at the City of Mesa. Delaney is excelling in school as a high school junior and is considering a wide variety of college majors before she heads off to college in a year and a half, Mia is doing a great job in kindergarten and Bodhi is adapting well to being in daycare full time. We are still living with my mom, but are working on building up our savings so we are well-prepared when we move out.
In short, we have experienced a lot in this past year and I am thrilled to see a new year come in and take over. I think we are in for a lot of change in 2012 but everything seems to be looking up for us and I couldn't be more excited!
