Many New Things

Well hello everyone!  So it has been an extremely long time since we have chatted on here, but guess what.  I am back!!!  So there are alot of new things in which I will give you a fast update on.  Tom, TJ and I have moved back to NY.  There are many decisions that we had to make and we (mainly me) thought that this was going to be an answer to many problems.  Well, I was right to a point.  We are living with my father in law Bud and are truly greatful for his hospitality.  What was suppose to be a short term stay has shown to be benefiting both us and Bud in alot of different ways, so I'm not sure when we will get our own place again.  But anyways, we are here in NY and things are going good.  So let me update you a little on everyone.

So since we all chatted last a few changes have came about with Tom's career.  He is no longer working for Prime Inc and doing over the road.  He has had the opportunity to go local to work and is now working with a company called Heavy Duty Industrial Services.  He drives a water truck and helps the drilling companies by providing fresh water and also cleaning out the dirty water.  He has only been with this company for about 3 weeks but has been driving water tanker for a couple months now.  He likes it and always has interesting stories to tell.  For example he likes to tell about how on muddy days or snowy days when he cant get up a hill, the company will have a backhoe hook up to the water truck and pull them up the hill and back down.  Mind you, he drives on some roads inwhich cars dont even populate, so you can just imagine the fun he has.  He works alot right now, but it will be rewarding in the end.  He is home everyday which is great for us to be able to share more time together as a family.

TJ is doing good.  I think he is happy to be back to NY so he can see his mom and the other family, however I think he misses a real good friend in Missouri though.  He is doing good in school.  He is in 7th grade and getting ready to become a teenager on April 15th.  AAAAHHHHhhhhhhhh  I dont know if I'm ready for this or not.  Oh well.  He is getting ready to start BMX racing this weekend.  He is really excited about it and really looking forward to it.  We were able to get him a new bike or it and he loves it.  We'll see how he does with that.

I am doing ok.  I am still taking classes through University of Phoenix and am scheduled to graduate in October as long as I dont fail any classes or take time off.  I will have an Associates Degree in Foundations of Business which I am really excited about.  I have worked hard to get this far and glad it is so close.  I am still having alot of physical problems with my foot/knee/hip/bulging disc in my back.  Everyday is a constant ride on the pain train.  Hopefully that will change soon.  More details about that to come in another post.  I have also become an Independent Consultant for Scentsy which I absolutely love.  To find out more information about that check out my website at:  https://familydream.scentsy.us

Well I think im gonna close now, but please check again soon because I promise there will be pictures and more posts to come soon.
