I haven't been keeping up with this, and I apologize.  I told you I suck at blogging.  :(

Fiance had an interview with a company for a graphic design job in another city yesterday.  Since it is about 2 hours away, A and I went with him and we made a day out of it.  We had lunch and drove to a few apartment complexes to check out the area since we'd be moving there if he does get the job.  It's a nice place, though parts of town can be quite annoying since it's a college town.  College kids EVERYWHERE.  It's not necessarily that they are college kids, per se, just that I don't like the cramped and busy feeling of a small town with a lot of people.  Also, being a college town means having a lot of apartment complexes that cater specifically to college kids.  That means they charge an extreme amount per bedroom.  Gah!  Thankfully, a friend of mine knows someone who lives in the area and she's given me a lot of good resources and ideas to check out.  If he does get the job, things will work themselves out and we'll find something.

Unfortunately, the job itself isn't paying as much as he hoped he could get, so that means we're going to have to either be very frugal (which I'm trying to learn to do anyway!) or I'll have to find a job.  I don't mind working necessarily, but 1) still being in school means working at a place where my paycheck would almost entirely go to childcare, which is so expensive, and I would basically be working to pay someone else to raise A, which is stupid and 2) I can't bring myself to trust a stranger with something as precious as my daughter's well-being.  I know people do it all the time and are fine, but there are also the poor children who have to go through something traumatic at the hands of someone they don't know and haven't built trust with.

Another thing that holds me back is school.  I registered for the summer semester, which means the same workload in a shorter amount of time.  It wouldn't be so bad, but one of the classes I have to take is an English writing course, which means a research paper and essays on top of loads of other writing.  It would be tough to juggle classes, taking care of A, and a job.  I know people do it, I KNOW.  But I worry about having enough time for A and if there are a few things we like but don't NEED to have, I'm willing to give them up to be able to keep time with her my top priority.

On a less stressful note, I got the temporary crown off of my teeth and now have pretty new permanent crowns.  They look great and I feel a lot more confident.  I can smile!

I'll try to update more often, and I'm sorry I don't do it as much as I should.  What can I say?  I have a boring life.
