First off, I am going to try to start blogging more and being more active in social media in general. I feel like I don't have many friends anymore and like I am just a total "home body". In some ways, I am okay with this, and in others, I just feel like I need an output to be able to vent. So, here we go! Back to blogging! Lol. It's funny, I used to blog all of the time on Myspace and it was wonderful. Not sure why I haven't picked it up here as much. Haha.
Anyways, things at home are great! Hubby and I are doing wonderful. We actually did adopt another dog since I last posted (or rather kept him, Lol). He is actually our toy poodle's baby (Aniya). His name is Miles. He is a total sweetheart. So, that makes three dogs, two cats, and a bunny for now anyways. I say that because we are seriously on edge with one of our cats. She is causing damage to our home, which at this point is still a rental, and is just plain DEFIANT and annoying. She poops EVERYWHERE and will not listen. Gah! So, we may be getting rid of her soon. I am pretty much at my wits end with her.
In other news, Lol, Hubby and I have come up with a complete financial plan / savings plan in order to budget and put money back for a house! I am SUPER excited. We plan to buy a house around 2016 to 2017 (depending on loan companies and such) and to be debt free by then as well (minus my student loans). It's crazy to think that this actually feels like a reachable goal at this point and it motivates me like NO OTHER! So happy with my life and with the direction it is going. I know I complain that I don't have many friends but the ones that I do have are amazing and my husband will always be my best friend. They are all that I need. Life is amazing when you work hard and MAKE it that way! Ya know?
Things with my stepson, Evan, have been great lately, as well. He is getting so big. We are actually going to be getting him for a few weeks this summer due to holidays and such, so it is going to be great! I am super excited. He has come such a long way but still has a ways to go. He will be in Kindergarten this year as well. Time sure does fly! I love my little man. *Smiles*.
Work is just CRAZY lately. So many changes but I think that is for the better. More responsibilities but more pay! I am a happy camper there! Lol.
I am also going back to school starting this August (Fall 2013 Semester) and will be done after spring semester 2014. I am SO HAPPY about this I could SCREAM! Finally! Lol. I only have 5 classes left and then I am done, I just have had issues with financial aid and such in order to be able to get back into school and finish it.
The plan is that once I am finished with my associates then I will enroll in USI here in my local town and finish my pre-law / sociology degree. Then, once I have those two degrees finished, I will go ahead and go to law school once I am ready! No rush! Since we are buying a house before I go to law school, we plan to rent the house out to someone while we are away for three years at Law School and renting a house. Then, once I am finished with Law School we will move back into our home! *Smiles*. This is all provided that I do not find a way to take online law school classes while working as a paralegal. I am going to be looking for a job as a paralegal ASAP once I have my degree. I cannot wait! The main reason I am saying “no rush” on Law School is because of Evan. I want him to be older first and able to decide if he wants to go and live with us or stay with his mom while we are away. I WILL NOT take that child’s father from him at such a young age because I would feel selfish and horrible. So, therefore, we just wait until he is a little bit older. He is already almost 6, so… we are good! Lol.
Basically, in light of recent events in the news I just wanted to take this time to remind you all that life is AMAZING! Always remember that. Life is really looking up and heading in the right direction for once for hubby and I. Hope you all have a great weekend! Love you all. Peace!
