It has been a while........

It has been a while since my last post. This is the same starting line that covers 75% of blogs. This blog is no different. Sometimes we forget that as we are living our lives, we need to post our lives.  I will take the challenge. ( Yes a little dramatic, but this post was seeming to go there. )
August and September were big months for our family. After 13 years of marriage,starting businesses, moving back home, and having children together, Mike and I decided to start again. NO, we are not talking about divorce here, we are talking about making a new life for ourselves. So, we left everything, our beautiful home, our friends, family, co-workers, some people we will miss and some we will not miss. My husband is a contractor and after 7 years, there was no business left. We had to decide what to do next. Mike was determined to never have another job so reliant on the economy again.
So, here we are in Provo, UT. Mike has decided to become a dentist. His degree is in Industrial Design, so this is an art degree. He has no sciences. Yes, you heard me right. No sciences, you kind of need science to become a dentist. So, he has to go to university to get his science classes (two years) and then can attend dental school. yippee..... a six year transition. Ok I will try that again, YIPPEE, Mike is going to dental school!!!! Better?
We are renting a little house, the kids love their new school, we live in a great neighborhood and we are so totally poor. I am looking for a job, and will be attending esthetician school at night. (I really am a whore for skincare, I will buy anything :) So, everyone that sells Arbonne or Avon or Mary Kay, stay away, and don't get me started on Sephora, seriously, don't.)
I am terrified to see if we will be able to fund our new life, but it is simpler and sweeter, so this should be good for us.
Now you can see that while I was living my life or trying to wade through my life, I have forgotten to post. I do have a couple of stories to share, thus I can see a few more posts in my future. Well in my near future of course.
To a new life!
