June 08

I can't believe I have been going so long between posts! I had hoped to have some news of wedding bells for you by now, but there have been setbacks. Gabe lost his job. He was layed off due to company downsizing. He put in applications every day for 3 weeks. Many places were on a hiring freeze, many simply didn't have any open positions. Gabe found out at the unemployment office that because he was layed off he could get help paying for college. So we had many long discussions and decided that he would go to college. He checked into several different schools and decided on a local community college and is now working towards becoming an RN. He has been out of school for 9 years, so it's difficult to get back into the swing of things. Several people have asked if we were going to wait to be married until after he graduates. During our discussions, we both agreed that we did not want to wait that long. We know that we have a long and difficult road ahead of us, but we are willing to face it.

I've been wondering how you've been doing. So sorry to hear about Gabe's job, these really are tough times. But going back to school is exciting...and RNs are in short supply, he's going into a great field. Hopefully the wedding bells will chime before too long! Hey, if you're on Facebook look me up (Melisa DiMaria Elliott--the only one). I'm active on there even though my blog is dead.
