oh. my. gosh.
i am embarrassed to say it has been almost 4
months since ive looked that this thing.
so much has happened but yet not much at all.
march:
march was the month we finally got ourselves out
of living in a hotel
& into my mother in law’s. ok i promise its
not as pathetic as it sounds.
for the month of march my husband & i were
nomads. we really had no choice.
march was going to be our vacationing month before
the summer season hit hard.
[ for those of you that aren’t familiar with
summer sales jobs, our summers are
completely opposite from most of you. my
husband works his heart out for the
months of april-august & in the fall &
winter we play. ]
however, due to unexpected work obligations we
ended up traveling back & forth between
rexburg & boise every
week for that month.
april-may:
april was our time to finally make it down to
arizona to visit my family
& get a little bit of r&r before our
days together
were pretty much over.
we hit our one year anniversary on the 5th
& spent 2 wonderful days in
a beautiful resort in
scottsdale az.
[ check out the view ]
oh & we finally got to
meet mr. baby max!
[ isn’t he the cutest!? ]
my sister had her first baby & he for sure is
going to be a heartbreaker.
seriously though...look at those eyes.
but as always our time in az went way too fast
& before we knew it we
were off to austin texas where our big future
goals & dreams
were set ahead of us.
we were ready as ever to make them
happen.
i was actually kind of excited for this
summer.
p.s. sorry this is forever
long. but i do have 4 months to catch up on so catch me a break...it gets
juicier.
[ our cute apartment in texas. don't mind the mess
we were just moving in. ]
beau & i got into a pretty good routine.
it took some time getting used to austin but
we were finally starting to really like it
when we received some of the worst news. his
licensing for texas had been
denied & he was no longer able to work
in the state.
we seriously were dumfounded when we heard the
news.
what on earth were we supposed to do?
we had just moved all the way from idaho to texas
into our cozy
little apartment, with our friends, our
office, family near by.
we were where we needed to be.
to be completely honest it was hard news to deal
with.
i broke down. i cried in front of friends…my
family
& i don't really like when people see me cry,
even my family.
[ with the exception of beau. he’s seen me cry
plenty of times. ]
it took almost a month of my husband not being
able to work
to figure out that texas was not going to be
easy to work with
& the options of us staying were getting
slimmer by the minute.
& what’s crazy is my husband & i both
admit we were scared to know
we weren’t going to have any sort of income
until we figured things out.
our goals that we had set before the summer even
started were
slipping away from us so fast. & while i
was feeling so sorry for ourselves
my husband was out working with first years
[ new guys ]
loosing himself in the service of his team.
june:
this summer has not panned out the way we
planned at all.
here i am sitting in this empty apartment in
carmel, indiana
with not a clue of what to
do.
[ carmel, indiana ]
but…
we’ve adjusted our goals: removed less
important ones
& created even better ones.
& we are
determined to make the best out of the rest of this chaotic summer.
so bring it on.
xo, J
