Feeling...

ROTTEN.

And here is why. About 2ish or more months ago, Austin's softball team found out they'd be playing in Vegas for the Softball World Series. (I think that's what it's called. Could've totally just made that up too). That series happens to be this weekend... cool right?! So, like a good almost Wifey I got the time off work and have been super excited to sit and cheer my man on at his games allll weekend...and maybe spend a little time with my cousy and her cute babe Zoie. 

Little background of life here in St. George
1) We moved here without Austin having a job. We just knew this is where were supposed to be and had faith that it would all work out. Good things happen to good people. And it did. He got a job doing construction about a week after we got here. 
2) I am still only part time at Costco. I love the company I work for. They pay excellent and have the worlds best benefits, I'm convinced. Moving to St. George also required a dollar pay cut for me. I was fine with it. Once again, rolling with life here.
3) Austin's dream job would be to become a Physical Therapist. He would be AWESOME at this job. He's totally passionate about it... and so super smart. It's just a matter of finishing school at this point. (ps he's like 3 or so classes away from his bachelors...hint hint babe...you got it.)
4) We have wanted Austin to get out of construction for a long time now. It's totally unreliable pay wise and he works 6 times harder than what he's paid. 
5) So this opportunity comes a knockin on our door. A Physical Therapy aid. The only set back to taking this job is a major pay cut. But...the experience would be awesome for him to have since this is his ultimate dream job. We talk about it...know we can make it. So he takes it. I love that he doesn't have to bust his ass (pardon the language, but it's true) in the 100+ degree weather and gets to ENJOY work, like I do.

So there it is. Bottom line is, we're poor. 
I have been sitting here feeling sorry for myself all morning because we can't afford for me to go with him to Vegas. BOOHOO right? It just dawned on me that I am acting like a spoiled brat. 
I told my sis last weekend, "I just have come to the realization that we are just going to be broke for a few years until we finish school. Once we're both in our careers I know we will do well financially".

 And, we are happy! I would way rather be so totally, completely, passionately, obsessively in love with Aust and poor, than rich and unhappy! We have everything we need. I am blessed. So I will quit my sobbing now and live my life.
Babes, good luck this weekend and HAVE FUN!
Happy November everyone... I am THANKFUL for this financially poor/blessings rich life I have.
