Update on life
My husband decided to give up his business at the end of January and has started a new job- still painting cars, but for a bigger business wit more regular hours and regular paychecks. I feel such a huge weight of stress off, and he already looks five years younger I swear. Up until the end of last month he was still working 18 hour days. Having him home by 6 pm is like a dream!
I'm halfway through my program now and looking forward to figuring out what happens after this for our family! It's going really well, but it's exhausting. In August, I'll finally be done with my qualifications to get a job I'll be happy with for a long time.
Just wanted to share with you ladies! I'm just really excited to have mor eof the family life we've really wanted. I miss chatting here more often. Maybe by the end of summer I'll be around more!
Re: Update on life
I'm sorry things didn't work out for your husband's business, but I give him credit for know when enough was enough. My DH was self employed for a few years and he gave it up shortly after we got married. It was not an easy decision for him to make, but in the end he was glad that he did. It was such a relief for both of us when he got a job with a regular paycheck and didn't feel like he had to work 24 hours a day to earn it. I'm glad things seem to be working out well for you guys too
I'm glad to hear that you are doing well and getting more time together. Congratulations on being half way through your program! I'm so happy for you for being able to follow your dream.
Good luck in the next few months, I hope things continue to improve!
