~Brayden and I will be unable to be RDs next year, because they have to move in a month before we'll even be married.
That's what Brayden and I were banking on for housing. Now, we have to hope and pray for the government subsidised apartments here in town. (Make a note: they are VERY hard to get into)
~Many of my friends are single or have recently broken up.
Meaning, I am no longer a part of that group. Most of the things people have been talking about lately are boys, and how
stupid they are. I can no longer participate in said conversations, and apparently have been bugging people with how happy I am. Yes, ironic, I know. One of the things going wrong is that I'm "too happy."
~A mutual friend of Brayden's and mine is making life ... complicated.
I won't go on about it. Suffice it to say that there are some people who don't want Brayden and I together. And that's just not cool.
~The economy SUCKS right now.
I know, that's very general and I can't particularly say it's happening directly to me at the moment. But because of it, Brayden is having a very hard time finding a job. And, because of some hostilities back home, I will be unable to go back to my job. So we're both out of work, both desperately looking for work.
There are many many pages to this list, but I haven't the constitution to write about them all at the moment. And I'd like to end this entry on a high note. So -
THINGS THAT ARE GOING RIGHT:
~We're still together
~We are temple worthy
~Our families have been supportive and helpful through all of this
~No matter what, we still love and support each other through these trials
~The sun is shining
~General Conference is next weekend
~I picked my dress :)
Love and laughter,
Katydid
HUGS! Sorry things are so rough...especially the friend part. It drives me nuts when people make comments about "You're so lucky," etc (but in a jealous kind of tone), because I want to be like "Look, I'm sorry you're having trouble...and I'm happy to be a listening ear. But do NOT begrudge my happiness and deny the fact I've worked hard for where I am! It didn't happen by luck....it was by work."
ReplyDeleteOkay, rant over. ;) I'll add you guys to my prayers for finding jobs and housing. :)
