The Meyers Family Changes

It amazes me each day that I wake up and reflect on what has all happened in the last year. We welcomed the new addition to our family Victoria Marie Lynn Meyers on August 1st and since then life as we once knew it has changed drastically. Some for the good and some not so good...

• On August 19th I was finally licensed for Daycare
• On October 6th Jesse signed up for the Army Reserves
• During this time Jesse's job has become very demanding and we don't see him much with him juggling work and school. For a long time and still sometimes I had the feeling he was putting his job and school before his family- that has been difficult for me to deal with because my family is number one!!
• Last fall I took 18 credits- craziest thing I think I put my mind though in a very long time however I did come out with some of the best grades I have ever gotten.
• At the end of February I re-signed up as a Mary Kay Consultant because where it could take my family financially.
• Jesse left for basic training on May 25th- he was scheduled to only be gone until August but will now be gone until the end of October.
• So right now I am in a forced separation which has been my inspiration to figure out where I want our family to be in the future.

This blog is intended to be a fun light hearted blog where I can post fun things the kids and I do while Jesse is away. I named this blog the Meyers Family 4 because we must put the 4 of us at the highest priority in order to beat the odds of a young married couple with different dreams and goals.
