I think we might have finally gotten the break we have been waiting for. I’m afraid to get too excited about it, but he has two job interviews. Well actually it’s one interview for two different positions. So excited!!

One of the best things about it, he gets to fly in in just a few days to see me : )

My husband applied for a position in Michigan nearly two weeks ago. He has been through one phone interview, but hasn’t been called back yet for a second interview.

We are biting nails waiting, So much is riding on this. He is still stuck in California, while I am here in Michigan.

The position we had as back-up, a transfer to a new plant being built in Detroit by his company fell through. They won’t be opening the plant now for another year.

Unfortunately there aren’t too many positions open right now.

I do remember reading our horescope about a year or so ago, and it said that people would view our relationship as unconventional.

Does 2500 miles apart qualify? We have spent half our relationship 2500 miles apart so far. Hopefully there wont be too much longer.

On another note, my ex is not letting up with throwing things at me when Im down. He is pushing mediation at the cost of 400.00, and I have been back in Michigan barely a month. I haven’t found a job or home yet. He loves to kick when I’m down. I should probably take it as a complement that he knows he would have no chance, any other way.

A lot has happened since I last posted. I have been extremely busy. I have gotten married, finished my school, and moved back to Michigan.

Im in a holding pattern right now. I’ve been back in Michigan for about a month now, and see my kids each weekend. I am staying with my brother for the time being.

My husband is still in California. We were hoping for a transfer with his company in the spring, but just found out that they have put off the opening of the plant until 2012. Now he is searching for a new job.

He did receive a call very quickly, for a position he is really hoping to get, so in the meantime I have held off on a job search for myself, since I would not be able to take one here. The position he is hoping to get is about 100 miles away from where I am right now.

So, I’m bored. I’m not much of a TV person. My internet connection is unreliable, and I only have a minimum of my things here at my brother’s home.

How I long right now for the craziness of my children’s school schedules, projects, ect.

I am just really hoping my husband can find a job quickly, I miss him, and boredom is so much easier to handle when you at least have someone to cuddle up with to : )

I am so excited : ) My Boyfriend took me completely by surprise and proposed to me last Monday.  We picked out my Ring on Thursday and OMG was that fun.

I promise I will write about both of these : ) But for now I need help!

His family lives out here in California, while my family lives in Michigan. He has about 30 people he would invite ( but really about 10 that he really wants there ) and I have close to 50 ( but again all I really want are my kids and my mom). But both our families would not be happy if we didn’t have a wedding.

I would love a wedding by the water, beach or lake. We both agree on wanting a small outdoor wedding. But as I look at costs for reception, omg any thought on trying to keep costs down goes out the window. We only want to spend around 4-5k at the most. We have costs of moving him out to Michigan to think about, and possibly another baby.

The only people we are sure we absolutely want at the wedding are my children, his sister and mom, and my mom. If we had something small with just them, it would be perfect. But how do you tactfully exclude so many other family members?

He is starting to suggest eloping, but Ive already got my heart set on my baby boy and girl being the flower girl and ring bearer, and my two older boys walking me down the aisle.

I tend to over complicate things, when there is usually a simpler answer. And thoughts.

Oh and of course, here is a picture of my ring,

If we go ahead and have a wedding with about 100 people, anyone have suggestions on keeping costs down? The reception seems to be what will costs the most.

Even keeping the costs of a venue for the ceremony down?

I needed to be alone and think, so I decided to be brave and drive around. Im not from here, so it’s a bit scary when I venture out on my own. I did take my GPS though so I could at least find my way home.

So I headed out as the sun was setting armed with my camera and my gps, with the big hills in my sites.  You can see hills right outside our window, and a ” mountain”. They call it a mountain around here, but it just doesn’t seem big enough to me.

Anyhow, just me, my camera and the beautiful sunset.

I did manage to get up to a nice high point. The view was wonderful.   I managed to get a couple of pictures, but it was getting dark pretty fast. I managed to get one photo I was fairly happy with. The rest are destined for Photoshop : )

I had to clear my head, my BF and I are at a turning point I guess you could say.

That however I will leave alone right now until I have sorted out everything for myself first.

But here is the picture, hope you enjoy it.
