Long time no talk everyone! It sure has been a while, or at least it feels that way. We are still on the job hunt for Ryan. This place is just difficult and throwing all the obstacles it can in our way, but we are going to prevail. They can't stop us from being happy. So if you are out there job, call us, we are waiting patiently for you!!!!
I talked to my parents last night and my brother tonight. It's always great to hear from them. I miss them a lot so hearing their voice always is great for me. Sounds like things are going great for them, and that is always good to hear.
Ryan's brother recently moved here to live with all of us. Well he got here on Saturday to be exact, so almost a week! He brought his adorable puppy, Bella, with him, and she is fitting in so well. It's definitely a change having another person and animal in the house, but we are all adjusting quickly, and we are just happy to have him here. Although it's a busy house, things will work out for the best.
Also, this is my first week out of work. I am only working on the weekends now, and I know I need to get back on weekdays, just maybe one or two weekdays and not 5 in a row. School is flowing much better now that I have more time to focus on it, but there is almost too much free time in there, and I know I could be utilizing it a lot better by working and making money.
Okay here is the subject that I have been thinking about a lot lately. When is the time or age I guess when kids should not be asking for money from their parents any longer? I definitely feel like I have reached that age a long time ago. I never ask my parents for money unless I am at the end of my rope and know I absolutely have to. To me, I find it extremely embarrassing, and it makes me feel... hmm... what's the word... almost like I am failing at growing up and being independent. Now, there are kids out there, in college and even out of college who do not find shame in asking their parents for money, or just randomly spending and basically, in my opinion, throwing away their parents hard earned money. They deserve that money, to spend on themselves and do what they want with it. They worked hard for it, not you. That is why you go out, get a job, and make your own money to use on whatever you want. And I think, when I work hard and earn the money, it feels so much better to buy something for myself with that hard earned money, rather than just running to mom and dad to have them fork it over. I guess all of us have a different level of shame with things like that, and I know my level is off the charts if I have to ask for money.
Just food for thought. I have been thinking about that a lot lately, since times are hard for pretty much everyone right now. And as a college student working a low waged job, and still trying to go to school, it's hard to have that extra spending money.
Well I hope everyone is doing well, and had a great Halloween. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it!!! So let's try to be thankful for what we do have, and stop spending carelessly. I know I am going to start working on that here in November!!!
Love you guys!
