College!

So, in my last post I mentioned "moving to Arizona for two months," There is a LONG story behind that, but to save us all, I'll just give ya the short version. Basically, John Housian, Derek's business partner, decided to get an investor in order to get more money for the company. The problem with that is there were no more stocks available for investors to buy into the company, so John decided to just create more stocks, which diluted Derek's ownership % down to slmost nothing. :( ... This all happened AFTER they sent our WHOLE family down to Arizona in order to start the Phoenix market for Triton.... So after John made the decision to have that investor come in, it was all down hill from there, this guy, who'm I won't talk much about,(grrrr) basically gave Derek no choice but to leave the company. So here we are in AZ, stranded again, empty handed. Luckily the company at least paid for our trip back home, but now were left here to start over career wise! So scary after thinking everything was going to be stable the rest of our lives....

So, in all of this I think that our family has learned a lot. We have been humbled, become MUCH better at saving our money and budgeting, and it has really motivated us to do moer with our lives. I, for one started online college courses about 3 and a half weeks ago. It feels so good to be learning again, and doing something great for the future of our family. Derek also decided to start next semester, and finish up his business degree that he started 7 years ago! This summer, he will also be moving to Tyler, Texas for about 4 months to sell security systems again, and we got a nice signing bonus which made that an easy decision. I will be visiting him off and on throughout the summer, but primarily staying home so we can keep our house, and not have to move ALL our belongings again. My sister Nat just moved back from Hawaii as well, so we offered her to come stay with us while he's gone. It will be a win win situation because that way I won't be as lonely, and also she will have somewhere to live, and be able to drive our Mustang around.

I'm glad to be in college now, and hope I can start my own skin school with my business degree in about 4 years! Exciting :)
