For those who don’t know… at the end of December (2013) Josh got accepted and took off (in our one car) to coding dojo in Seattle, WA. This was something that was presented to us at the last minute and really a dozen HUGE things fell into place that enabled him to go. He also made great time driving across the whole U.S.A.
Our lease was up, so we threw most of our possessions into a storage unit and some friends agreed to take me and my two grumpy cats in with them for the three months he was gone, my sweet cousin who had just moved with her daughter into a bigger house in the Seattle area agreed to take in some stranger that she’d never met (just because he was my husband), one of the V.P.’s at my work heard I was going without a car and selflessly loaned me his daughter’s car (while she’s away for school), and lastly, my amazingly wonderful parents were able to loan us a majority of the cost for the training with a 0% interest loan the way that only parents can. Too many blessings to count! If any one of these things had fallen through, he may not have been able to go.
So, a month ago Josh started a 12 week course intensive learning a ton of things I understand (like web design) and a bunch more that I don’t understand. This is real turning point for him, the door to a whole new career field he hadn’t even considered. Naturally, he took to it like a fish to water and every time we talk he tells me (excitedly) about some new thing he knows how to make and tie into databases and so on and so forth.
I’m so proud of my man; he’s working really hard, learning so much, and going above and beyond with the goal of a more financially stable job that will really enable us to start our little family. I’m so thankful for Briana who has literally sacrificed her room and privacy in order house a poor vagabond like me. I so appreciate all the love and support that’s come my way during this time, that it pains me to say, I have to say…I can’t wait for it to be over.
I couldn’t take it anymore so I am flying out to Seattle the day before Valentines to lay one on my hubs. I just get to stay for the weekend, but I’M SO EXCITED!!!
Anyway, for better or worse, this whole thing is a big part of why I haven’t been posting much lately. Give me a 6 more weeks. Then, who knows, maybe I’ll be telling you all about more big changes on the horizon.
xoxo,
Adora
