More Catch-Up!

(Continued from Previous)
ONCE Lee got things under control with the bloodclot, he got the "go-ahead" to start looking for work part-time. However, most of the jobs that were coming available were full-time or too strenuous for him in his condition. He did try a few but just couldn't do them.
STILL, my hours increased & I got a 3-week second job in June @ one of the local Elementary Schools. Between these & other forms of assistance we were getting by; & just being in Utah again made things easier to bear.
ONE DAY in August Lee asked me if I thought he could do the job that I do working w/ People w/ Disabilities. Neither of us had thought of it for Lee, but he wasn't getting anything else so decided to give it a try. Lee has such a kind, funny, easy-going personality that he just might do well.
LEE HAD to get his Utah licence 1st before they could hire him & there were several roadblocks we had to get past first. By the time we were ready it was mid-September.

Catch-Up Time!

HEY THERE! I know it's been a long time, but I discovered that I can write the blog using the PS3! So bear w/ me for a bit while I play a little "Catch-Up"!
LEE & I moved in May as planned, but Lee ended up w/ a bloodclot, which wasn't planned. It took all the money we had to live w/ & took me a couple of weeks to start working so times were tough. I'm just so grateful that money is all that was taken. With the death of Uncle Darrell just 16 days later, I was reminded just how lucky we were & are.
AT THIS time I want to put out a thank you to all those who helped us through the last few months. First to my dad for insisting that he felt Lee had a bloodclot. You're my "Angel", Dad. Also to my In-laws for helping with the money for the test that told us Lee had the clot; and for checking up on us so much, which meant so much to us & made things easier. To my brother, Scott, for your advice. Also to my sister-in-law, Shirley Anne, who came & sat with us at the hospital. Finally to everyone who prayed for us.

Long Time!

Hey, I know it's been a long time, and I certainly don't have a lot of time to post anything at the moment, but just wanted to get on and say that there will be more coming as soon as I have the time to get on.

I do want to pass on that we made it safely to Logan and love being here. Lee had a blood clot (still has, they say he'll have it for the rest of his life, just under control w/ medication) that kept him from working for a while, now he just can't find a job, lol. I'm working almost full time, now; but couldn't get on with the school district for the school year.

Although work is a little slow and we're struggling w/ finances, we're still happier to be here.  Nevada may be great for some people. but we weren't happy there; besides, Logan will always be home to us both.
