Coming Home!
Well, I guess a year is long enough. We are heading back to Michigan at the end of June.
Talk started when I quit the job I came here for. I tried to rescind my notice, but I guess everything happens for a reason. I have been unemployed since 3/1/08, and hitting the books hard. I'll be done with my degree on 9/10/08, but who's counting? ;)
We talked about moving to Las Vegas and Florida...I love the ocean, Mike wants to be in the desert. Since we couldn't agree where to go next, we compromised on moving home. We are missing our families and the camaraderie of friends. Yes, we have met some friends down here...but nothing can replace the closeness of friends that you have had since 3rd grade! I don't miss the winters...but it is hot as heck down here already, and I am missing Michigan summers on the lake! So, instead of watching nieces, nephews, and our friend's babies grow up in pictures, we decided to come home and be a part of everyone's lives again.
Besides those things, real estate is cheap up there!! I want to buy every deal in town and turn them into rentals! Real estate is so expensive down here, it would have been hard to see a cash flow, and I'm happy our deals we were looking at fell through. Everything happens for a reason, I guess.
So, right now the plan is to head up there at the end of June. We will be staying at Canterbury House Apartments again. They are about the only ones where we can bring Rascal and have the washer and dryer in the apartment...and sign a 6 month lease! :) So, we can enjoy the apartment life for another 6 months and start house shopping! Yay!

Who knew they wouldn't die??
So, it seems like every time I try to grow a plant or flower, it doesn't last long. So, I bought a bulb kit, and they are growing!! And, I bought a small sago palm and it is even sprouting a new limb. :)

Back to School...
Well, I haven't been very good at updating my blog. I can use the excuse that I am back in school as of 3/27/08, and taking 22 credit hours this quarter. :) It seems like a lot, but the reading is what is really killing me.
Mike headed up to Michigan on the 2nd of April, and I was bound and determined to get ahead in my studies...well, I pick him up from the airport tomorrow night, and that goal was not met. I have been keeping up...but far from getting ahead.
So, my goal is to make some posts here and there on my blog, since I am taking all online courses...and not fall behind in school. And I'll finally have that Bachelor's Degree this summer...'bout time!
...here goes :) yay International Economics and Labor-Management Relations...thank God there are only 2 courses at a time!

How Does This Work?
Ok, Koleen got me curious as to how to get into the "blogging" scene. So, I'm going to give it a try. We need to figure out where to get my camera fixed...so pictures will be limited for a while.
Any pointers from you "expert" bloggers would be appreciated.
