The more and more I decend into married life, the less and less I find use for venting in my live journal. It seems, now when I have thoughts, concerns, revelations, and ephiphanies, I just tell it to my wife. Its a concept I am only starting to get used to. Someone who actually wants to hear me vent and would prefer I make my vents pubilic to her than keep them inside or on here. weird. But I suppose thats marriage. I guess if she had vents and/or problems and stuff, I'd want her to tell me so that I know and can help as well. I suppose when we said, "I do", it made us both licenced therapist. That being said, I don't want to completely write off the thought of an online journal, so I'll maintain both. To the best of my ability.
I'm in Birmingham right now. I have a feeling that I'll probably start a lot of my upcoming post like that; Mostly because I'll probably continue teaching college here a few times a week and therefore my therapist/life partner won't really be physically around. I'm really looking forward to this major life change in excitement; not the 'Kim not being around thing' thats gunna suck, no the 'Teaching College' thing. I do wish it was in a location near to us, but I guess I can't complain because [if all goes to plan] this can change our lives for the good. Kim and I have already orchestrated a written and actual plan for the next 5years which includes Buying 2 houses (in the UK and USA), having a baby, moving to America-land and me paying off all my student loans... Wow right? Now, I sincerely hope future Sky and Kim and Baby are reading this and saying, "Yep, all went to exactly to plan (sip martini)". I don't know what the future holds and I'm aware that things come up, but at least we have a plan that can be adapted and stuff. I mentioned to Kim and my mother that if our lives were a book, this chapter would be called, 'the Sacrificial years'. For this 5year plan to be sucessful, there will have to be mucho sacrifice; ie. The 2hour travel to work, the not seeing Kim a few time a week, the crazy amount of savings required, the 'going to live with friend', and the high amount of money coming in going straight back out to my stupid student loans, etc.. The only major major variable at the moment is my current teaching schedule this year.... Still don't know what that is :/ and it is that numerical value of teaching hours that is the skeleton key to all of what's to come. Potentially it can be very good- on paper I am down to teach Business, Drama, and Design, which if I can [at least] get 8 teaching hours a week on all 3, there is hope since the job is paid [fairly well] hourly. However, I SHOULD really be prepared with a plan B if I only can get, lets say, like 2hours a week for each, but THAT we don't have. and THAT fact is whats really stressing me out these days. I just wish the admin would hurry up and decide my fate- people do say patience is a virtue and good things come to those....
so, fingers crossed.
