So it's 2009! I still can't believe it. I feel like 2008 flew by so fast! Looking back at the year a lot happened! Brian and I got married, we started new jobs, and moved to California! It's been an exciting year yet there has been some major heartaches as well.
As some of you may know, I did not pass my forestry exam that I went back to Wisconsin in December to take. This was suppose to give me my degree. Right now I don't have one and it's really resting heavy on me. I do have other options, I am just waiting for some phone calls to tell me everything is a go. I will keep you updated on the outcome.
The best part about a new year is a new start. I have always tried to think of it as a fresh start and I believe this year will be even more exciting. I have applied for a job and I have a really excellent chance of getting it. It would be a Fire Prevention Tech position. It is at Sequoia National Park again. So, unfortunately Brian and I would be apart for the summer again. We both also know that Brian will be busy with fire season and we made it last summer so it shouldn't be so bad!
Brian and I are finally together more often since fire season ended in October. Once March start however I know he will be busy again. Hopefully by then I will have that job and I can help support our family. Brian and I are doing very well for being newlyweds and we can be doing even better with two incomes! Our goal is to try minimize our debt and increase our savings; I know that's ultimately every one's goal! I would like to settle down a little more and hopefully save enough to put a decent down payment for a house. I feel like that would be our next big step. Even though I say this, we both know this will take awhile! This is going to be a long term goal!! Don't email or call me saying "what are you thinking?!? It's too lofty of a goal!"Or "Now it would be nice, but you really need to think about this. And you should wait for awhile!" Just some examples. This is long term and me just thinking out loud! OK, enough said about that!
I also hope with 2009 that I will post a little more! I tried posting a video of our apartment just now but it won't work! Sorry! I will try and work on it later. I know I said I would post it earlier but now you will have it when I work out the bugs!!
I'll try and post more later!
