Well, I've decided to start my blog completely over. I kind of feel like it was taking a negative turn and I was starting to get pessimistic, so here's to starting my writing anew.
Well, for those who don't already know, I'm Danielle. I'm a married 21-year-old mom with a beautiful little girl named Annika, who will be two this October. My husband's name is Justin. He's 24 now. He's in school for automotive and will be done with his degree in October.
Right now, a lot of things have fallen out of order. My husband is looking for a new job now. We're going to have to stay with my parents for the next couple of months, and I pray not any longer. Right now I'm a stay-at-home mom, but I have no idea how much longer I will be. We were planning for me to go back to school soon, ideally to study foreign language and education and become a German teacher. But life hasn't been going according to plan lately, so whether or not I'll actually be able to go back, or if I'll be able to study what I'm passionate about, is still in question. Right now we're just trying to keep things together long enough to find ourselves a new place and a new, steady source of income. I'll be honest in saying that I am ridden with anxiety over all of it. We seemed like we were going in a great direction, and now I feel like things are so upside down, and I just want everything to work out already.
Anyways, I'll be trying to keep up with this blog more now. I'm hoping that having a little outlet will help me channel some of the worry and anxiety out, maybe be a little cathartic for me. I'm actually hoping that I can build myself up to enjoying keeping up with this, and sharing the good as well as the frustrating.
At the moment, I'm just building up the courage to look for jobs to apply for online. I know my husband isn't going to be thrilled about me working, but I feel like I have to start exploring that option. I sure as hell don't want to stay with my parents any longer than is financially necessary, and if I could find something manageable, I'd feel so much better than if I were just sitting around here not doing anything to help.
Anyways... wish me luck?
