Wow! It has been a long time since I posted, but I figured everyone needed an update. In February of this year I had the feeling I should resign at my job as an Elementary teacher in West Jordan, Utah. It was a decision that needed to be made since sometimes I feel like things weren't perfect while there, and I felt under appreciated more than I wanted to. It wasn't a feeling I could shake, and the more it happened the more I health started to decline again. In fear of ending up in the hospital again I had to make a decision. This does create quite the hard life for us. We have had just enough to pay our mortgage payments and bills, and now we both fear the future of if we will have enough or not. In June as I began looking for new work I found this company that teaches English online from your home to kids and adults in Indonesia! WOOHOO! So, for the past month I have been training for this new job, and I am both nervous and excited. The downside is I won't be making nearly what I was making teaching (we po!) I must say I am grateful for all that we have, and hope to be able to continue to keep it all. On another note: Jordan keeps applying for higher positions at work, and someone just barely beats him out for the position. I'm hoping a new opportunity comes up soon and he gets it. That would make me so happy!
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!!!!!!!
Medical life: So besides all the new job for me stuff medical stuff has been so crazy! In March I made the decision to switch birth control. I wanted to try out the IUD route. I had to wait until my period came (June) to get it put in. So, this last month I got an IUD and it was HELL! I hated it so much. It ended up moving and going into my cervix and since I'm on a blood thinner I bled a ton! So, all in all I ended up getting it removed and it inflamed my cervix. So, I got back on the IUD. Next month I will be visiting a high risk obgyn to discuss other options for birth control and our future as far as my heart and having a child in the future. As far as Jordan goes... in March he began to experience a ton of pain in his abdomen. He ended up getting a kidney stone, and his rectum continued to be in pain. He would explain to me that it would hurt to go to the bathroom. So, we continued to try and get him more fiber and try to heal him. Nothing seemed to work. About a week ago he ended up having a colonoscopy where we have now discovered that his intestine keeps slipping into his rectum. We don't know if he will need surgery or not. We did end up buying him a squatty potty, but hoping that everything works out.
All in all with all that has gone on we have celebrated as much as we can birthdays and our anniversary. It's crazy to think we have been married for three years. Sometimes it feels so much longer, and other times it feels like so much less time. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Also, please check out my other blogs. I'm looking into trying to keep everything up to date as much as I can. I'll be working nights soon so, that will change some things. GOD BLESS!
