And now back to our regularly scheduled program..

Holy moly. I had a heck of a blog hiatus, didn't I?

Since February 2010, we moved closer to Scott's work. He had a heck of a commute from north Portland to south Portland. Every. Day. And every day, it was awful. I felt for him, and since I had no idea where my job was going to be, we moved.

And now we will be moving again.

After many job applications, interviews, and rejections, I got a call out of the blue. It was a phone interview. And I landed the job immediately. It was so crazy. I begin the job the same week that my unemployment runs out. Talk about ironic.

It sounds strange to some, but I know that I wasn't supposed to get a job until now. God knew that I wouldn't have been able to fully heal emotionally from the layoff rejection feeling, the financial setback we experienced, the miscarriage depression, and emotional turmoil within myself... if I had had a job to fully drown myself within. Working has always been a cloak, and I had to focus on myself for awhile without one. And being jobless worked.

It was around late Spring and early Summer that the black cloud suddenly and surprisingly lifted. I finally felt my shoulders loosen up. I had renewed hope, and so I fully embraced it. It feels SO good compared to the low where I was for a little over a year.

I'm back. And we are ready for our new adventure. We are excited to finally plant roots and start our life again. It feels like we've been on pause for quite some time.

Have fun reading... More postings soon!
