Sorry I've been gone. We've been so busy lately. School, work, kids, hubby, church, etc. So let me update you.

My Dad had some medical issues that prevented him from working for 4 months. So I went back to work Sept 1, 2009 to Dec 23, 2009 to help them pay bills. Dad went back to work a few weeks before that. Which is good because I was laid off. Which sucks. I also found out I don't qualify for unemployment benefits. Which sucks even more!

Hubby got a new job. It pays better, they treat him well. The only problem is it is in Mexico. So he has to pay Taxes 3 ways. Mexico taxes, Federal income tax for the U.S. and State tax for the state of idaho. After it is said and done those three lovely places get half his paycheck which leaves us with a lot less then what he was making when he worked in Alaska. So we are considering moving to Mexico (don't worry and cry and leave comments about how bad the place is. Where he works is not like the border towns that everyone bases their opinions of Mexico on, also we are only talking about doing this because of the money situation and until he can find a job that pays him what he is worth here in Idaho). I will be going there in March to visit and check the place out to see if I even want to attempt to live there for a while. I have started to learn spanish so that I won't feel so out of place with the language barriers when I go. Also I have been researching my butt off about this place. We have friends who have lived there who have also been giving us information about this place. We are not making this decision lightly. Once I pay my visit to Mexico then we will decide if we are going to move or not. So don't go having a heart attack!

My Aunt who has lived with us since Sept 2008 was approved for SSI payments (not medical just money), she is still waiting on the medical side of it. She also found herself an apartment. She will be moving out soon. Good for her and good for us.

My husband got me a flute for Christmas because I have always wanted to learn to play and I start my lessons on Feb 6th, 2010. I am siked!

Both of our kids have improved in school tremendously this year. Our daughter who has dyslexica and is a all and all out drama queen 90% of the time and always has to be causing drama is finally at grade level in all areas of her learning process. THANK GOD!

Our son is above grade level in all areas of his learning.

Nothing else really to report at this time. Except that I can't find a job and it sucks! I also want to start a business but I can't even work on that until the decision to move to Mexico or not is made. Oh and I am still in school. Doing well. My next class Starts in march and it is Psychology of Religion.

Want to know anything else...I am on facebook. But if I don't know you or I don't read your blog then I probably won't add you. I don't like having trolls (people that I don't know who just want to be in my business) on my facebook page Sorry!
