I apologize for being non-existent for awhile. There have been some changes in the Despain family that I honestly haven't wanted to think about let alone blog about. :) As I have mentioned before, I have been given the opportunity to go to Pennsylvania for a music therapy internship. Originally, the plan was for Tyler and I to uproot and start anew together in Pennsylvania. However, Tyler has had no luck with trying to get a job in Pennsylvania and the economy there is slowly getting worse and worse. We also used quite a bit of our savings for some unexpected struggles in our life as of recently and we would have to use the rest to get us and our things moved to Pennsylvania. After a lot of crying, praying, and talking to our families... Ty and I have decided that what would be best for us financially as well as what would be best for Tyler's future schooling would be for me to go to Pennsylvania alone (which would allow me to live at the internship site with EVERYTHING paid for) and Tyler to stay in Logan working and saving money for him to start school in September 2012.
I honestly can tell you that this decision has been extremely emotional and hard. I love Tyler and cannot imagine seeing him and being with him on a daily basis. However, Tyler and I (no matter how much we hate the idea) feel right about this decision.
Anyway, that is the newest of changes in our lives so far...
On a much more happy note, AUTUMN IS HERE!!! Fall is by far my favorite time of year; and Halloween is more fun for me than Christmas! :) As of today, my house is officially decked out in fall and Halloween decorations! Yesterday was the first day it really felt like fall. It rained all day in Logan, and that evening the air smelled so fresh and crisp. I seriously went to bed last night with a GIANT smile on my face as the breeze from my window kept hitting my face.
I am FINALLY working on one big giant summer overview blog! I promise it will be here soon. I will leave with a picture of my darling puppy Griff...
Isn't he a cutie... :)
Till next time...
I'm so glad to get an update but torn because what a hard decision you guys had to make! I'm glad you both feel right about it, that will make the whole thing easier so there is no finger pointing when things get rough hahaha. You guys can do it though! Just skype a lot and you could always write letters in the mail, how romantic! you could even spray perfume on them hahaha. I love you arianne and admire you so much! I love fall and halloween, too. You've inspired me to get all my decorations out!
ReplyDeleteps i will include a copy of my carrot cake recipe, but i'm not making any promises- it can be a very finicky recipe.
