I love life. Seriously. L-O-V-E.

(Ok, so that was the tiniest bit sarcastic...and so was that.) This weekend was...hard.  Brennen and I had to sit down and discuss the real possibility that I WONT get to go to OKC with him for his 3 MONTH internship. It's really hard to think about.  [1] I can't get into all the classes I need to this semester, so i might end up having to get on fastgrad to take 1, i repeat, 1 class in the fall.  [2] If i stay home, i can work full time at the plasma center, making about twice what I'm making now plus health, dental, and vision insurance. [3] it would be cheaper to fly me out 4 TIMES than to rent a decent apartment there, PLUS pay rent on our apartment in Rexypoo. [4] No FAFSA for Brennen spring semester means $2200 in tuition out of our pocket.  [5] Grace in OKC vs New Car.   because the 1990 geo prizm just isn't going to cut it out there. We'll have to get a new car either way.  Dear Life, why do you have to be so stinking hard? I think you have already put us through enough.  Please stop now.  I need to make some more friends, quick. Luckily he/we don't leave until September.  So i've got a whole 6 months to prepare for this.  Wish me luck. :(

  1. Oh Gracie poo! We learn as we live. It is SO HARD!! Kids make it even harder :( I really thought that by this time in my life I would be on easy street. WRONG. Parenting never ends and it keeps getting harder! Sometimes I wonder if I can handle more! You and Brennen will be fine. Just remember we are all in this together! :) Love, Mom
