hello world

WOW it's been a bit since I have updated!

There has been a lot going on in my world.

A few weeks ago we headed to the Midwest to check in on my mother-in-law. We spend nearly a week there. Things there aren't good but actually better than expected. She is in the nursing home and it appears that this is going to be her permanent residence unless something amazing happens. She is SOSOSOSO not happy about it. She would have loved it we could have busted her out of there but we just aren't able to provide her the care she needs. She has to have 24hr care and needs full assistance with transfers. Her house is in no way accessible to make living there possible for her.

I've applied for a new job and have an interview next week.

Chef's work has implemented a new drug policy and he may end up losing his job because of his medical marijuana treatment. He however will not stop using because he really feels like it is helping him. The stress that this has created though is causing him to experience some of his MS symptoms. He loves his job and the people that he works for and with. This just really sucks. I have told him to be proactive and tell the admin folks and see what happens.

We have also decided because of drug policy if I don't get the job I applied for that we are likely going to leave here. If I get it we stay and hopefully things work out for him.

Spring is being elusive here. We finally have tulips and daffodils but no leaves on the trees. We are still getting a bit of snow falling every week.

Good luck with the job. I will pray for your success. My thoughts are with you and Chef as he has to made tough decisions, both about his mom and himself.
Ya know, it seems like life has a way of working our for the best. It has taken me a while to understand that, but I finally have. Never give in to the pressures, and things just seem to have a way of making the hilly spots straight!

Thanks guys!
As the title of my blog states Everything Happens...for a reason. I am a firm believer in what needs to be will be, including the heartbreak and struggles!
