We Are Back!



We are all settled in at Grammy's house now. Jayke is happy, he has his toy room all set up and his Oma next door almost. He started his new school yesterday. There wasn't any talk of girls yet though. I think he still misses Twila. He does like his school though, they have a way better play ground and a guinea pig in the classroom. It's the important things that count, ya know. He starts soccer on Saturday and tonight we have plans to go trick or treating with my friend's kids. Angi, Ryan, and their kids have been great to us, making us part of their plans when possible. Jayke loves Maci and Matthew and I think they are pretty fond of him too.

I started applying for jobs yesterday. Ugggghhh! I don't mind working but I HATE looking for a job. I am hoping to work at the banking center where Angi and Kim work. Angi and I will be able to take turns driving if I end up out there. My mom has gotten a new decorating job for a lady who loves florals so I could get some floral work again and with Christmas coming up I could even get some Christmas tree jobs. I miss doing that almost everyday. Grammy's house is going to look like the North Pole threw up all over it. Hope she is ready for that! I held back with my Halloween decorating so it wouldn't overwhelm her but there will be no stopping me with the Christmas decorations.

I'm feeling a lot better about things but still no where near normal yet. Today I feel good, tomorrow may be another story. Mike is in Germany now so I am not talking to him much. He will be seeing Jayke over Thanksgiving. We are still very friendly. I haven't gotten mad yet...kind of scary. I don't think I will. Doesn't do any of us any good. I'm just very sad and disappointed. Thank you to everyone for checking in on me and leaving messages. I am going to try to get back to blogging on a regular basis now. I think today is my blogger anniversary. 1 year. I'm not sure about that. It is my wedding anniversary. This will confuse those who know me and were at my wedding in May. Just a little secret I've had for the past 8 years that probably doesn't matter anymore. Go ahead, AJ, ask your questions.

The picture above was taken at Grammy's. We did two pumpkins this year. The one in the picture and one that is Scooby Doo. I will try to get a picture of it on here along with pictures of Jayke in his costume.

Happy Halloween!

An Update...

Just a quick update in case anyone still checks this thing. On Sunday Jayke and I, along with the help from my friends, will be moving back to Indiana. We have spent the past week packing with my step-mom's and Mike's parent's help. We are almost finished and on Friday Angi, Kim, and Kim's husband will get here to help me load a truck and drive it home to Indiana.

We are going to live in my grandmother's upstairs for now. This will work out well for all of us. She needs help from time to time so we will be there to give it to her. Jayke is enrolled in a new school and will start right away when we get back. He will go two days a week all day and his grandparents will take him the rest of the week. I will start looking for a job right away. I have no idea where, but I will find one I'm sure.

Mike will be leaving for Germany the same day we leave for Indiana. Maybe that will be a good thing, I don't know. We are still friends and will keep it that way, I hope. I'm still very sad, but I am ready to try to move on now. Hopefully we will all be happy again soon.

As soon as I get settled, I will be back to the blog. Thanks for all the nice comments and emails. They have helped a lot. Be back soon!

No Title

I wish I had pictures of beautiful beaches and crazy family members to show you but our trip to Mexico didn't happen. Jaykeb's life and my life is going in a different direction now and we will be taking a trip of our own. We will be moving back to Indiana in a few weeks. I don't really know what else to say except that we are all very sad.

I will continue to post pictures and stories about Jayke when I have some. I don't think it will be as often, at least for a while. I hope I can come back to this blog later when we are both a little happier.
