The Adventures of Us

Somehow we made it through the past five months. John has taken his heart attack very seriously and has done everything the cardio rehab people have told him... changed his diet, exercised regularly and quit drinking. He is losing weight and looking great. He quit his job (a source of stress) in October and is planning to begin studying to be a home inspector at the first of the year. Thankfully, we sold our last rental property in August so we have a bit of a nest egg to hold us over for a few months.

The girls are both on schedule to graduate in May! DA has decided that she will stay in school and get a second degree and certification to teach English after she graduates with her theatre degree. She will live at home, so she'll be busy driving down to campus and wherever she ends up student teaching

I'm tired...being the primary breadwinner in the family never has been easy for me, but I know I can do it. Especially if that's what it take to keep John alive!
