Two days ago Jer left for Colorado for work. The project he is working on is supposed to be a 90(?) day project... meaning he won't be home again until 2 or 3 months has passed.
I'm doing alright so far. I do miss him though. But I really think that once the weekend hits I'll really feel it... just because I'm pretty used to him being gone during the week days but having him around on the weekends.
I hope he is adjusting alright...

Here's the lowdown...
So, as Jer and I prepare for the worst we have come to some conclusions...
First, we need to rent our house out.
If the market were better we would try to sell it, but as it stands we would have to sell it at a loss... which is technically considered a short-sale. And it dings your credit. So for now we will be moving into Jer's parents basement. This is the most reliable way that we can see of being able to continue playing our house payments while I look for work.
Yes, that's right. I'm going back to work. I've applied to a temp service with the hopes of finding a job I can not just tolerate, but which I can enjoy. Hopefully something great will come my way.
If you are wondering what Jer will be doing, well...
He's going to go back to school.
He wants to go into computer tech. I'm glad he has a goal and something he can see himself doing :) And I hope that after we get through all of this we will be in a better place all around!
And who knows!? Maybe when we are all done we will truly be able to say "I understand" when the other complains about the monotony of housework or about a long week at work!
In the end, I have to think it's all for the best.
PS if you hear of any clerical or office jobs that are hiring... that's what I'd like to end up doing :)

Jer Lost His Job
Well, the title about says it all.
Today Jer came home from work with the news that he had been fired. Over a technicality at that, but it still doesn't change the fact.
He has been tired of working on the phones for quite some time.. it had started to be a drain on him emotionally and mentally, so hopefully this is a blessing in disguise.
This may mean many things, hopefully not many bad things. But if that is the case... it's the case and there isn't much I can do about it.
Jer is great about just about everything that he applies himself to. He is efficient and has a lot of common sense, he is also very good at learning new things. I know that whatever he ends up doing, he will do it well.
If you hear of anything, please let us know. This doesn't exclude me getting a job as well, If I need to (which is likely) I will.
Here's to hoping that this whole thing turns into a good opportunity.
