daysofelijah Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I am catching up on all the new posts as I've been pretty busy over the last months! An update on me: I sold my house I had moved into 4 years ago after dh died and I bought a new house in a place that will location-wise make me (& hopefully the kids) much happier. I resigned my teaching position in the town I moved from, and interviewed last week for a K-5 Library Media Specialist position in my new town and got offered the job last week. It's a half-time school year position so that will be perfect for me & the kids right now. And the other big news, NG and I are engaged. He asked me about 2 weeks ago now, and I happily said yes. We don't have a date set. There's still issues with him selling or renting his house, and also with his son as I posted in another post. So those things need to be figured out first. But we are happy. I think my kids are happy for the most part, and his kids are happy for him too. I feel like things are going to be really good. I really like my new house. NG spent this weekend installing all new appliances for me, he's been such a godsend. He stays over here on the weekends, and he's here the majority of weeknights but he goes home to sleep because of his dog and his son. His house is only about a mile away so that's nice for so many things. 5 years ago I never thought I could possibly be so happy again. I am so glad I took the risk to step out and look for what I needed. It's been a crazy, emotional 2 years of ups and downs with NG, but I feel like we are in a great place and will be happy.
