Another Update (sorry no pictures this time)

While Daryl has been waiting for that company to call him (pretty much blowing everyone else off since they really didn't have any work for him anyway), he made the decision that maybe he should just make the most of his time while we are here and go back to school as well to finish up his degree. He has pretty much decided to stay away from anything construction related and has enrolled at Rio Salado online for the remaining of this semester taking accounting, a business class and another one..I think Psychology..not sure though... So in addition to helping me with my online Math class (which I am SO glad this is the last semester of that), he will be doing that. He's really thinking along the lines of Hotel Management..but he could still change. He's just too smart not to go back and do something else. Next semester he will have a pretty full load along with myself at CCC (he will eventually have to transfer on to NAU). We have been approved for financial aid (our special circumstances was approved) and he will now apply as well. We are definitely doing things backwards as far as marriage/family and going to school, but at least we are finally now doing it. He still may try and pick up something very pt, but we figured out our bills and what we need to live and we should still be fine despite everything. I know many of you have been curious as to what we are doing or are going to do, so I wanted to give you a brief update. Hope this answers any questions :)).

Oh and I forgot to add that that company decided to "finally" call him the day before he enrolled at Rio saying they just couldn't pay him what he was worth and didn't think they'd have the work for him come winter, but really wanted to hire him..but just couldn't. The guy who interviewed him didn't even have the gonads to call him, he had the guy from the Phx office call. Fine for us...this ended up working out well and I know that God has a plan for us and I really feel now that school is in "his" plan :). It also works out nice with the kids and organizing our time around school and around them not having to leave them at daycare for 40+ hrs a week while we are in school, since we can schedule classes at various times (or at least that's what we are hoping for).

I LOVE that you used the word "gonads". That freakin cracks me up for some reason.

Anyway, YAY for things working out for you guys! I am so happy for you!
