Good morning everyone. Its pretty early here. I am still struggling to wake up. For some reason Ryder thinks 5am is a good time to wake up. Normally i am fighting to go back to sleep at that time since Jared gets up for work at 430am. I just hope this new schedule doesn't last long. I need more sleep.
Here in about a month I will be starting LPN (Licensed practical nursing) school. I am so excited to get back to school. The best part is I will be doing the course with my close friend Sam! I want to get this over and done with. In 18 months time I will be making close to 30 dollars an hour! Go me! I am so proud of myself for what i have accomplished, and for what i am continuing to do. I really feel like I am beating the young mom statistic. I am furthering my education. A lot of the credit has to go to my amazing husband Jared. He has taken such good care of Ryder and I. He has always put his family before anything else. I honestly don't think I could have gotten where I am with out him. He has always been there for me. Even back in high school, Jared was my rock. If I needed someone he was always there. I love you so much sweet heart, and thank you for everything you do for us.
Yesterday was Jared's first day back at work. I cant say I love his new job. While I love the area we now live in, I know I will be spending a lot of my time here with out him. His new job is to train boot lieutenants to shoot mortars. ( even though we all know they will never shoot one). Jared will be spending a lot of over nights and even weeks in the field. He will even be spending up to 2 weeks in California at the Mojave viper every couple months. It makes me sad knowing he will be gone so much. I hate that Ryder and his daddy will be separated. But it is his job. I just makes me all the more eager for Jared to get out of the Marine corps. The good news is I will be done with school before he gets out. This time he wont have to worry about not being able to afford everything. He will be able to get out worry free. My salary should be able to afford everything. Including the house we are planing to by next year!
Jared and I have decided next year we are going to buy our first home. It will be our third wedding anniversary gift to one another. We are starting to put money back for it. Even our next tax return will be put into savings for it. Jared and I looked online and we can afford to buy a home built around 2000. We found one that was 5 bedrooms 3 bath and 2700 square feet. It was built back in 2000 and was in good condition. Now I know this home will not be on the market when we are ready to buy, but it gives us a good idea of what we want and can afford.
Well life is changing for us. Things are just getting better and better. I know there will be struggles ahead. Nothing in life is easy, but we will make it just like we always have. The future seems so bright for us. It cant get here soon enough. Keep checking in on new updates. I will try to keep up with blogging, but no promises with nursing school starting soon. I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Your truly
Lauren
