Things have been Crazy!!!

Sometimes I wonder how things can get so far off track. I make plans, I'm constantly making plans. Things I'd like to do, things I'd like to buy, places I want to go, how the next few years will go and so on. And things almost never work out to plan. I can usually make it from point A to point B, but never in the way I thought I'd get there. I guess that's how life is.
You never know what life has in store, or what will happen to get you from where you are to where you need to be.

Over the summer things were in crisis, I was unable to secure any student loans to help get us through the year. In the end after months of panicking I developed a plan to get us through to December. Unfortunately that plan didn't get executed quite as well as I would have liked. Leaving us a bit short. And thus I began working on a new plan, a better plan. A way to get to where we need to be. Even that didn't get executed the way I wanted.
But the good news is this, I have gotten pre-approved for a home loan! Which is very exciting. So I'm home shopping. Obviously with just my income (which is minimal while going to school) I can't afford a whole lot. But buying and paying a mortgage is far better than continuing to waste so much money on rent.

Since our last update, Halle had her 3rd birthday, which went really well. The semester started back up again, which is going alright. I feel pretty worn out most of the time. Halle also started preschool, which was a battle at first because she wouldn't listen to her teachers. But now she loves it and so do I. I'm busy finishing plans for my 10 year high school reunion. From here on out it's all details, decorations and collecting money.

Life has unexpectedly turned around and starting going our way. So I hope that continues to happen and I push through all the paperwork and necessary hoop jumping to get our home - and get us into it before Christmas. That's my big goal. To have Christmas this year in our first home that's all ours.
