When it Rains it Pours

I won't go into a lengthy list of everything that's gone wrong lately. Just the highlights:

~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

  1. 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."

    Okay, rant over. ;) I'll add you guys to my prayers for finding jobs and housing. :)
