Hello blog!
I am so excited about my job, I've been here a week an a half and its really awesome. It's with First American and over 7200 people applied for my position and i was one (out of 34) people who got it! And i am the youngest one by fffaaarrr here. I rock! And it is right down the street from our house! The only thing that sucks is that it is a full time job which means ty is in daycare, but he is having so much fun. I am really really grateful that for the last year i was able to spend time with him, and i think he is grateful too.
We had a trip to Disneyland scheduled for next month but i am not allowed to take vacation for another month so we are going to postpone it until September, which is fine. But we havent been to a disney park in two years!! It is extremely ridiculous! That is way too long! But at least we are able to change our reservations. The last year has been ridiculous over-all but we have learned so much!
- The most important thing is that family is way more important then any job you have. Working a part time job was an amazing decision. Spending more time with Tyler was invaluable.
- How to save. Part time job came with part time money. Even though we ended up living with parents for most of the time we still had to control our money a lot closer. We had to make sure we had money for our down payment on the house (which sucks because we are really bad at saving) and we had to constantly pay for inspections and such for our many houses that fell through.
-Even though things really really suck, i always have jake and ty to make me happy and they are there to remind me that we can get through anything we need to as long as we are together.
- be grateful for the material things you have, because they could be sitting in a storage unit for 7 months.
a year is not really that long in a lifetime and i am so grateful that we had an opportunity to overcome challenges and learn things along the way. And now we have this amazing house that i am so in love with. And we are all very very happy!
In order to keep pushing myself to save our money (because it is really me who spends all of it) jake and i decided that if we keep continuing to contribute to our savings and also save up for a vacation we will go to New York next year! I am in love with NY, i want to live there more then anything. If james wasnt in ty's life i know that we would live there, maybe i will convince ty to go to NYU so we can move there in 13 years (yikes!). The reason why i dont want to take ty is really kind of selfish, and not like me. But because jake and i never got to officially date before ty i feel like there are parts of me that i havent gotten to share with Jake. There are really only 4 or 5 major things that i want to share with him that i want to be just me and him experiencing together like people do when they are dating. One is disneyland and we went to disneyland once without ty (i know, i'm a horrible mom) but ty has since been to disneyland and disneyworld. Broadway is also another part, which is easy because of the shows that come in town in Tempe, so jake has been to several of those. Music is another one, hard to experience but we were in band together so we've got that covered. And the last thing on my list that i am really passionate about that is a big part of me, even though i dont live there is New York. I feel like i am meant to be there and i want to share the passion i have for that city with jake and share everything with him. It is kind of hard to explain unless you are me, its hard to completely share who you are and get to know your partner when you are dating and you have a kid, its probably why people say you should wait until you get married, but i have no regrets. So we are going to NY for 4-5 days and then when ty is a little older we will take him, because i want him to experience it too.
Another thing that since ty is going to go to school in Aug. i feel like i now have time to go to school myself. I am not going to do more then two classes at a time and i am not going for any type of degree but i really enjoy college and i love learning new things. So after my photography class i am going to sign up for a summer class (if i can) maybe an online class and def. a fall class. I am really excited to take some psychology classes that i have been dying to take for years and some philosophy classes. It makes me feel better about myself to have my brain working at something once or twice a week. lol.
That is all...
