I know that may sound awful but it is true. After our trip to Boise back in the beginning of April Dan left to go to Utah, then to Florida. He is selling Security systems for a company called Platinum. I would be there with him now if he were doing better, but as it turned out it took a little bit of time to get it going.
So for a month I have been somewhat of a Single mother.. I have to say, it is a tough job. I give major props to the women out there who are single mothers and to more than 1 child also. It is hard work especially when you have a sick child or cranky one nonetheless.. It is quite exhausting. Just that little bit of help when he would come home at night was such a relief.
He really did do quite a bit, I guess you just kinda get used to the things they do and don't notice quite so much anymore... However he really is a great daddy to EmmaLynn. (she totally misses him) and he really always tried to do whatever he could to help me if I needed him to or if I was just totally frustrated or sick, or whatever the case may be. He just wanted me to be happy! No he is not perfect, no one is. We all have our flaws, but I do miss him and really appreciate what a good husband he was.. or is to me... So things are going better in Florida so far. We initially said he only had 2 weeks to make it work.. but it turned into a month, so now things are looking a little bit better, so I might get to go to Florida and live there for the summer! Our whole reason for even trying this was due to the amount of money you could possibly make. So by the end of summer we want to be able to make at least 30 thousand(which is a lower end goal they say is very achievable) this will help us to pay off our debts due to the dumb business and tractor we got ourselves into... so pay off all of them and have money left over to put into food storage and preparedness stuff...
And the best part of it all... ok there are a few great parts...
1. the best is I am in my own apartment again all by ourselves... Privacy!!!
2. I get to go to FLORIDA!!!! I have never even been to the other side of the country... Utah is the farthest I have ever traveled... and there is Ocean there close.. ( which I have only seen once when Dan proposed to me)
3. I get to see my good Friend who lives in Alabama
4. And when we come back again we don't have to live with the in laws.. we will have our own place again!!! Thank GOODNESS!!!
So hopefully it works out and it does happen.. I might be with out a husband for another month but if it means being debt free.. I can handle that! I am certainly hoping and praying for some success... what a roller coaster.

Wow, good luck with all of that!
I pray that things work out for you! So is he selling things now then? Im glad its doing better! And yes, I think we do take them for granted what they do...being without a husband isn't easy!! I totally know what it feels like to be a "single" mother! Good luck with everything!
YOU CAN'T GO TO FLORIDA!! Okay, I'm just being selfish... it's been really nice to see you so much again! It's also been nice to smooch on EmmaLynn, she's so yummy and cute ans is such a lover with all her hugs and pats on the back she gives now!! So you can't leave!!! But if you have to be with your hubby, that's fine!! :)
I hope it all works out... how fun to be in Florida for the summer. And as much as I love my in-laws, I can't imagine living with them. Vacation for a few weeks is one thing, but living? Oh, I so hope it works out for you!
