Glad to be home from my recent trip to Jacksonville. As much as I love going to see my parents, I always miss Andy when I go. Which is funny to me considering that we have been married nearly four years. Seems like a weekend away wouldn't bother me every now and then - would actually be pleasant. And it really is (for the most part). But for some strange reason, anytime I "get away" I think he needs to be around for it to be "right." But I had a nice trip, but was glad to get back to "my" house in Ashford. Didn't do very much in Jax, some shopping, some eating, etc. But it was great to visit with the 'rents (as they say.......I know not to whom "they" refers...)
SO EXCITED!! My carpenter just finished repairing the side of our house, so guess what we get to do this weekend!?? PAINT our house! Yeah! Anyone who knows how long this has gone on will understand. I have this house I love with a SEVERE need for a new coat of paint. Our house was in major neglect when we bought it and we have nearly finished the entire list of projects......except for this. I cannot wait to see a fresh coat of paint. Even if I do have to suffer heat stroke to accomplish it this weekend. Wish me well. If anyone is bored this weekend, feel free to call.
Really struggling over how to proceed in the Spring. I know that I need to get back to school and by the end of the year we will be totally out of debt (other than mortgage)! PRAISE THE LORD. So in theory I could totally quit my job and finish school up very quickly. But then what. Andy would like me to consider law school, and I think I would enjoy that, but I would finish just in time to have babies and pay back the student loans. Don't know whether that is smart or not. Also know that I might enjoy teaching, but I might HATE it (all dependent on the students and environment). I don't want to limit myself educationally and I know going back to school will be EXTREMELY difficult post-children. I hate to jump out of this job so quickly though. Good jobs are hard to find, and though I am not paid well, I have a WONDERFUL boss who is a great guy. We are friends and that is invaluable. So maybe I should just cut back to part-time and go to school full-time and then see where I end up in six months or so. That's probably what will happen. The extra income would help also since I have so many needs (i.e., new flooring, couches, area rugs, swimming pool, etc.!).
Must clean house today have overnight guests tonight.
