Blimey - tis been so long
I had absolutely no idea its been so long. Barcelona was my last post and so much has happened since then.
University is over and the hunt for a job began. It soon became apparent this would be a harder task than first thought. I finally managed to find a temporary job, but this would not last long and then everything really did go pete tong!
Three days before Xmas 2010 my husband’s employers decide to let him know that he would be jobless by the spring. The news was hard because this meant our home would be taken from us too.
A double edged sword really. We had wanted to leave but didn’t know how, being lazy and complacent. Here the choice was taken from our control.
2011 turned into a year of emotional turmoil, realisation of fears and many, many tears. As we traveled through this roller-coaster year we grew strong as a couple and finally made it through. As the year drew to a close, dreams were realised, employment more fulfilling was found and a more stable life looked to be insight.
Here I now sit, in MY living room (OK, so the bank owns 80% of it), in a job I love with my husband blooming in a new found role growing in confidence and willing to try new things. I hadn’t realised how stagnant he’d become, now laughter comes easy and we are both ready to deal with the pebbles and boulders that life’s river brings to us. For alone we are strong but together we’re even stronger.
