on hold

I found out today

that this coming Monday,

our life will be put on hold for 2 semesters.

Roughly 9 months.

The house hunting will be put on hold.

My shopping extravaganzas will be put on hold. 

Eating out every weekend will be put on hold.

Weekend trips will be put on hold.

I found out last Friday,

that I was accepted into an LPN to RN program.

I got my class schedule this past Tuesday.

Was told that it starts this coming Monday,

and realized that I would have to miss 16 hours of work per week.

 I explained the situation to my workplace.

And I found out today that they won't be able to work with that.

So.

On Monday we will have one income.

Which isn't horrible...

but of course,

two incomes are always better than one.

I just keep telling myself that in the long run,

it will pay off.

Because it will.

If all goes as planned,

when May 2013 rolls around,

I will be Autumn Ingram, RN.

I'm excited.

And nervous.

And anxious.

Bring on the all-nighters.

OH!

I made dinner again last night.

Actually, I put it in the crock pot yesterday morning.

I found a  pot roast recipe that took 2 ingredients.

It made it's own sauce.

I sauteed onions to put on top.

And paired it with corn on the cob and baked potatoes!

Ty has always lathered BBQ sauce on his pot roast...

but yesterday,

he didn't use any!

Dinner #2 = success.

It totally looks like he has a massive unibrow. I promise he doesn't.
