Still Learning I Guess...

OK readers, I admit it has been FAR too long since I last posted.  (Cringe for impact of rotten fruit) But life has been, in a word, nuts.

Let me catch you up since the last post.

First of all, the tournament in Phoenix was really great, and I took two bronze.  Go me!  Sky took two bronze and a silver.  Go babe!  One of Sky's black belts took Junior Grand Champion, which basically means she was the best competitor under 18.  She's freakin' amazing to watch.  Go Kelsy!

The house we were supposed to move into dissolved before our eyes.  The landlords disappeared, as did their "For Rent" sign.  The house still sits empty.  We found an amazing townhouse right by the college later that month, and it turned out to be income-based, and well, we made barely too much money.  Then we found a house by Quail Lake that seemed great.  Good space, decent location, slightly more expensive than we initially planned, but still doable.  We were supposed to move in November15th.  Then the 20th.  Then, for sure the tenants were going to be moved out and the carpets would be cleaned by the 27th.  Well, then they officially said December 3rd.  When the 27th rolled around and we still hadn't moved, it was time to do some serious thinking.  Was this worth our time and all our money that would be folded into utility deposits and first month's rent and security deposit?  Was it?  Right before Christmas?  Well, as we pondered this together, and included a little guidance from the Big Guy Upstairs, we began feeling worse and worse about the situation, so we called the landlord, and politely and apologetically let her know our decision.

So we are spending Christmas in the Gubler basement.  We will find our perfect place shortly after the new year, and hopefully in a little less debt.  I was almost devastated at first, but as the decision has sunk in and I've been working through everything with Sky, I'm feeling better about it all the time.  There is some reason why we still have to be here, and I guess I'm still learning what it is.

Happy side note, Sky and I will be married seven months on the 13th, and we are still not pregnant.  *Happy Dance!*

Other than that, and school basically sucking the life out of me, life is pretty good for ol' Mrs. Goob.  I love Sky more and more every day, he makes me laugh all the time, and I'm really enjoying work right now.  In spite of everything, I still manage to find my happiness.  Granted, I have my gloomy days, but all in all I'm happy.  I got my best friend and partner in crime at my side, and together we can do anything.  :-)

Keep it real readers.
