Absentee

Well life goes on whether it is hard or going smoothly. This has not been Drew's or my time. But we have been toughing it out... And like a smart, wonderful, beautiful mother of mine once (or more then once) has told me.... If life sends you lemons, make lemon aid.

This is exactly what we are going to do, make lemon aid!! We have decided that I am going to try to find a job in Vancouver for 3 or 4 days a week. I would like a 4 on and 3 off situation. And we will start moving slowly back to our city. We though that Kamloops was where we wanted to be and where we were needed however things seem to be falling apart around us. We were very successful in Vancouver and miss that feeling of happiness.

We have found that living in such a small city is very hard to find a decent job. I have applied at every single place that I can, being a care aide. And all I can find is casual. Casual meaning very casual. Drew's health isn't good at all due to all of his stresses. (yes we each have different stresses)

But I do think that we have a great game plan! Distancing our selves from here, slowly, will work wonders for us! It will be a couple of months until I start a new job. But it will be worth the wait! I have high hopes of our life. We can can do this! We can move on in our life and reflect back on this situation. Remembering how we don't need the stresses that seem to plague our young lives.

As all of you know. Drew and I haven't had our marriage handed to us on a silver platter. Starting with our engagement. People were so mad at us for getting married so young. We are always in love and that is never the question at all. But we have had a lot of tragedy and we are still working on healing. Healing is coming slowly for both of us. However with our healing process comes growth in our marriage. And I love that.

With our growth we have found that no one is a better supporter to the other then our selves. I support Drew's decisions. And he supports mine. We have such a strong relationship that embraces our differences and our likenesses. We honestly complete each other. We have the same values and can trust each other like no one else. We are each others best friends. And I think everyone deserves a solid no fuss relationship.

Although things seem like they will never get better, Drew and I have each other. Which is more than a lot of people have. And I am thankful for that.
