So it has been a whole year to the day that I have posted on here. No excuses, just haven't felt like writing. I since have returned to the workforce instead of staying at home with the kids. I went back into a labor position as a tire technician at Goodyear. I love the physical exercise, however it is hard on my body. It is also an emotional struggle at times due to my job being in a "man's" line of work. Men and women really do NOT think alike! Its been bittersweet. At first I enjoyed the freedom of doing something for myself, however now I feel guilty that I am not with my boys every second of the day. I also dislike the feeling of working just to live and living to just to work. It seems like such a waste. There is so much to do and see and experience, yet we are forced to slave away every day just to have existence. On a brighter note, I have decided to go back to school to finish my degree. I figure I might as well get the darn thing since I am already in debt with student loans. So although its taken me almost 10 years, I will finish school! Hopefully this will be the change in my life that I need.
My family life is great. I have been married for 3 years. My oldest son is almost 3 and my younger son is 18 months. They are the joys of my life. I could not ask for better kids and they are best friends. Its amazing how fast they grow, not just in size, but in intelligence. Toddlers are way smarter than I could have ever imagined. I wonder what happens to us as we get older? We do not seem to catch on as quick. Maybe we are just stuck in our ways. Anyways, they keep me on my toes for sure. Sometimes life is overwhelming, but it is so worth it. Our family moved into a smaller house since last year. At first it was hard for me. I loved the house we were in. After moving in, however, I actually like the cozy feel of the smaller place. I brings us closer together. Life happens in all sorts of ways and I am excited for what comes next on our journey.
