It is already October, wow! time really seems to fly by lately. It just seems like last month we were in the beginning of the summer and all of a sudden there are Christmas decorations available at certain TARGET stores. I won't get into that...but it seems like Winter will be here before we know it. That means cold mornings, more rain, jackets, using the fireplace, and cuddling on the couch watching movies or tv because its too cold to go outside.
Work has been slow but picking up a little lately. There are going to be peaks and valleys at all times, however, limiting those valleys to dips and not canyons is the key. I am happier now than I was this time last year or even 6 months ago. I talked with an old colleague from my last job and things fell apart there after I left. I am sure glad I did that, I could see the writing on the wall and I wasn't happy either. The future of my position now is a good one, if I can keep improving what I do and be more efficient. I have had to start working later hours a couple days a week, and that's hard on the wife because she may have to eat dinner alone. I know that is tough for both of us, however, if it is for our better then I will do it. I have started working a little on saturdays, with some success...I need to do whatever it takes to at least get her to Germany this year. I would like nothing more than for both of us to go, but life is about sacrifices sometimes. I love her more than anything and will do whatever it takes to make her happy. Going to see her family, even if it is surprising them ;) would be the single best gift I could give her. I have never seen Germany in the winter, although I am sure it is awesome...I bet it is cold. I would have to take my ski jacket, lol...I can handle it, it is just a bit of a different climate than here. Nevertheless, I want her to be able to go. I can see good things in the future months for income and work, so that is good. I have a friend who can get buddy passes for us, or her so that will help also. It will be tough to be apart that long, but if she is with her family then I know she will be happy and probably want to stay longer ;)
The fall makes you think of family and what is important, you have to stick together when times are good and even closer when times are tough. I have a family system that is close when need be it seems, but hers is always close, especially when need be. I just wish it were easier to get there and back. That is one thing that can't be changed. Something has to give, either I am far away or she is far away, but love is able to help you overcome any and all obstacles that get in your way.
Happy Fall!
