Meant to be

Do you ever feel like the past events in your life were meant to be, that lead you to a certain stage in your life?

Shannon and I have talked about why we ended up here and why he never got the job in Vermont. After he received the letter from the unemployment office that he could receive unemployment, we are now thinking it was meant to turn out this way. We'll find out after April 15th if he will be receiving unemployment for sure. Once we know that, he will be signing up for college. He's been wanting to go back to school for the last few years now, but we never had the money or time. Speaking of college, while Shannon and I were talking today, he decided to just fill out the contact form on the University of Phoenix website. He's done that once in the past and they literally call within about 30 seconds! LOL They did the same today as well! LOL So as long as Shannon receives his unemployment, he's going to taking online college courses. We feel like this is meant to be, time is allowing him to go back to school! He has an appointment next Wednesday at the school campus to talk to a counselor about his college plans!

His dad found out yesterday that he has a herniated disc, and now he is out of work. Shannon's been helping his parents with their yard since we've been here. So with everything that's happened, maybe we are meant to stay here for a bit longer than expected. Shannon will be mowing the lawn now and anything else that will need to be done that his dad can't do outside.

We also realized that all of us (adults) are not working, but we're doing just fine. Talk about living off the system! LOL We plan on re-applying for Medicaid and Food Stamps, and also get on WIC. My first priority is getting myself and Kyle on Medicaid, and then go for WIC.
