Life as of now...


Well I guess it's about time I give ya'll an update:

Chris is gearing up to end his fire season and head home the first weekend in October (woohoo!). This summer wasn't quite what Chris hoped for but he did make a few trips including one to Montana recently. Chris has enrolled for winter term at MHCC in pursuit of a PA (Physicians Assistant) program transfer degree! He is really looking forward to getting back into school and I couldn't be more proud.

I (Kayleigh) am working at a grade school in gresham, and to say my job in challenging is an understatement. I am working with severe behavioral kids, and I constantly find myself asking if I really was "lucky" to still have a job. But I will overcome this challenge I am sure, it will just be a long school year! :) I am enrolled for Fall term also at MHCC still working towards my transfer degree, working towards a teaching degree at PSU. I will be working 35+ hours a week, and going to school 4 nights a week! AHHHH!! But I've dont it before and I'll do it again!

As for both of us, we have an offer in on a house! Yay! It is a short sale which means it could take up to 6 months to get a yes or no, so in the mean time we are still looking at other houses. But I am keeping my fingers crossed that we hear something soon. The forecloser date is the 24th of September so we hope to hear something soon! So hopefully we will be posting soon with pictures of the house (which needs alot of TLC!!!) But we are still alive and doing well, and happy to see fire season coming to a close! Hope this finds you all well!

I have asked if people have seen you, and no one has.. you are mia lady.. lol.. that's great about the house, and the school.. good for you that you are getting some experience, it does take a special person, I think I would go NUTZ... oh, I think I already do though with kaid.. lol.. it's probally harder with lots more of " Kaid" kids.. I am sure kaid is more mellow though at school then he is at home.. Lets get together..
