Just when I start seeing the bright light from my two week gloom, a little black cloud appears. So as previously blogged, we were having some $ problems. After having to bite our tongues and Jesse getting over his pride, we asked his mom for a little help. I very well couldn’t ask my mom, after all she has helped us out already and with her current situation I didn’t want to impose or give her any more reason to voice her opinion about Jesse (despite his many flaws- I still love the world of him and always will). After all no one is100% perfect. I see now that we are still young and have a lot of growing up to do. We have gained two very big expenses this last year… a house and a baby. Both of us work our butts off and hardly get to see each other and sometimes you slip up. It happens to the best of them.
In an attempt to improve the situation Jesse actually went and applied for a Team Lead/ Department Lead position with one of his former employers, Target Stores. This means $10.50 an hour vs. the $9.10 he currently makes and a guaranteed 40 hours a week vs. the 30-35 he pulls at Kinkos. Its not going to be a significant change in monthly take home wages, but it will be a change that we will see. Hopefully it will be enough to make a difference.
To try to help with the $ problems, we have been renting a room out to a friend. It has been nice having him around and he is so good with Kaylen she adores him. However, like all things I should have known this wasn’t going to be permanent. In the course of one month he met a girl, got her pregnant, and is now planning on moving in with her sometime next month. He asked me for my opinion about the whole thing, and after blessing him with dozens of new things to consider/ worry about, I told him that for the baby’s sake he better use the next 9 months to get to know his girlfriend better. He claims to be in love with her but how in love can you be after 2 ½ weeks together? Now they have been together for a month and I hope for the baby’s sake they are able to make this work and are able to maintain a healthy relationship. She already has a son who is 8 and a daughter who is 2… neither one knows their mom is expecting. The ironic part about the whole thing is that from day one he said to me, “I really like this one, I want to take it slow with her”… I’m just going to keep quite.
I guess until next blog… I am hoping something good happens between now and then.

I just recently found your blog and have been trying to "catch up" if you will. However, I have a really weird question...If they had known eachother for 2 1/2 weeks before she claims she's pregnant..okay that's just not possible...a pregnancy test wont even pick that up until you've had a missed period..and you dont generally have a missed period for a month or so...is he sure this baby is even his?? I'm sorry for aqusations but i recently had to go thru this with one of my husbands best friens..met a girl from phillippines and she came to hawaii..for a week....went home and told him she was pregnant...NOT POSSIBLE IT'S HIS!! I told this to him and after a lot of talking..she admitted she got pregnant before meeting him....but he was an american soldier and gulliable and knew he'd take care of her and the baby...NOT!!!
