Hermit.

I have developed a new appreciation for people who live on their own. In their own houses, by themselves.

How the freaking heck do they do it!?

I have a four bedroom home I share with two dogs, both of which easily fit in my lap at the same time. It's a house meant for a family, not just me.

I love my husband, more than anything in the world. And I appreciate him for the sacrifices he is making now to make our dreams a reality.

For anyone unfamiliar with our situation, I will brief it out for you. Justin took a job with Timberline Drilling Company based out of Coeur d'Alene. However, it is a company that works wherever someone hires them. And in this case, that hire would be in a tiny little town in Nevada called Elko. Google map it, or wikipedia it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elko,_Nevada

Its a population of 18,000 people who generally come from Basque. That would be in Europe, thank you very much.

I have never been there so I cannot describe it, and I probably will never visit it. But from what my darling husband has said, it's not amazingly interesting.

Anywho, he is on a super fun schedule of 2 weeks working straight and 1 week home. So I am on my own 3 out of the 4 weeks in every month.

I never really imagined my marriage to be like this. I don't think anyone truly does. But it takes a lot more strength than most people have. But they always say you do what you have to do.

And for now I have to do this.

I have filled my days with Pinterest, the Kroc center (like the YMCA) and praying for a job opening at the dental office I want to work at.

I met the doctor and staff yesterday and it seemed to go well but now I just want a call in to show my skills and hopefully earn a seat amongst his staff. Cross your fingers.

I'll need it.

Home Sweet Home

"Home is where I'm with you."

I've been terrible at updating recently, what with packing and moving across the state. But now we are finally settled in our new house in our new city with our boxes unpacked. 

I am an absolute stickler for refusing to live out of a box, a suitcase or anything meant to temporarily store and move my belongings. I could be in a hotel for 3 days and I have to unpack and hang all of my clothes or else I go a little bit psycho. Not even joking.

Anyway, it feels like its fifty degrees below zero and covered in snow. I am spending my days alone as hubby is working away in Nevada so it is just me and the girls for the past few weeks. 

We are hoping to go home sometime next week to pick up the rest of our stuff and I want to hopefully start passing out resumes to dental offices in the area soon. 

It has been a lot in a short amount of time and we are more than exhausted, but we thank Heavenly Father each day for the blessings he has bestowed on us.
