Wow. I haven't updated in quite some time. Sorry about that. These are my excuses: I broke our computer charger. Those things are pretty hard to break without cutting them with scissors, but I found the only way to break it with only a table.
This is what has been going on in the Compton home.
Cory and I are going to Florida this Friday, and I am so excited! It will be my first time to a warm beach. We have been wanting to go there since we got married. But, if you know my husband, you know that he does not spend money easily. He his the most frugal man I know. But we are finally doing this. I have been dreaming about our trip, and the dreams involved witches, piranhas, sharks, and a TON of tropical fish. So, I don't really know what to expect.
These last couple of months have been really stressful for me. I have always been a pushover, and a people pleaser. I have no problem standing up for other people, but when it comes to myself, I have the hardest time standing up for me. You have no idea how hard it is. After high school, I never had any problems with it. I was getting better. I can now stand up to people who respect me and I respect them. Well, a while ago, I was put in a situation that started out fine, but has turned for the worse. I started getting walked all over. I didn't realize at first, but when I did, it was like flash backs to high school. I have the hardest time standing up to this person. It has made me angry, every time I speak to this person. I hate those feelings, so I had Cory give me a blessing, and it helped for a while, but those harsh feelings came back. Cory and I started talking about this situation for a while now, and we decided that I am experiencing this to I and grow a back bone. I need to learn to respect myself enough to stand up to those I don't respect. This is terrifying to me. Just thinking about it is making my hands all clammy. But I have been given this opportunity several different times, and I didn't do anything about it. I will this time. Luckily I have Cory to help me. He will be my crutch for a while.
Along with that, there is Obama-care. More like Obama-stupid. Cory is a Physical Therapy Assistant. Most of the people he works with are on Medicare. Well, thanks to Obama, Medicare is going down the toilet. They have already made the first big change to Cory's job which will pretty much cut his hours in half. If they keep this up, he won't really have a job. So, pretty much this vacation is our last hurrah before we start penny pinching (like we haven't been doing that already) And it also means that I need to find a job. Well, I don't have a car, and we will be moving, and hopefully away from this town, so either it would be a long commute, or I would quit. But I also need to get a degree. But in what? I have a few ideas, but if Medicare continues like this, those ideas won't do any good. Ugh.
On a brighter note, Fall is coming! (HOORAY!) I love the Fall! I love the colors, and style, the temperature, everything. I love wearing scarves, so Fall is the time that I get to get those out. Also, November is almost here, that means Thanksgiving and Black Friday! And Cyber Monday! After November we get December, and that means, mine and Cory's 3rd anniversary (and our dear friends 2nd anniversary), my 22nd birthday, and Christmas. December is pretty fantastic!
Anyway, enough for today. Stay tuned, and remember that God loves you!
