Sometimes I think that this has got to be the most difficult of things to do. Especially when you are living with your in-laws and you can see the end in sight.
We have about 2 months left until Phill is done with school and will be able to go back to work again. So things will be good after that and we will be able to move into a house of our own, but in the mean time to help save money we are staying with the in-laws. It's not that I don't like my in-laws it is the fact that it isn't my house and all my stuff is in storage and I can't get at it. I think that the part that has been the most difficult about the last five months is knowing that we have been on our own for 13 years and now we have to live and depend on others right now.
I bet that you are all wondering how in the world we got in this situation, so here it is.
We toyed with the idea of moving back to Canada for a few years now(many different reasons) So when Phill got an offer at a funeral home in Drumheller, AB we decided to take it. They promised us a bunch of things that sounded really good. So we packed up the family, once again, and moved them 1500 miles. As soon as we got there everyone quit and they put the funeral home up for sale. This all happened in a matter of weeks! So Phill tried to stick it out but it was way to stressful and he just couldn't deal with the people in the industry any longer. We then decided that maybe it would be time to make a career change. Phill went back to school in September and we moved in with his parents so that he could concentrate on his studies. Moving back in with your parents is hard but with three children it just seems to add a bit more stress. Things have gone fairly smoothly but there is always the longing to be in your own spot. We all knew that it would be temporary and it was good and we were all sure that we could survive. But now that the end is in sight it seems like it is farther away instead of closer.
Maybe it is because we all know that it will all be over soon. so we are all anxious about it, but there seems to be more grating of nerves than there were at the beginning. The bishop told me when we were all done that we could talk on patience and endurance. I think that I should have a pretty good grasp on both by then.
