I have no idea why it takes me so long to update this stinking thing. I have said before that I always have a million things rolling around in my head so it should be easy but for some reason it's not it actually seems harder... odd.
So what is up with the Rickaway's???
Well we got into a really amazing, cute, perfect-size-for-us little house. It's SO nice to have a place that is OUR HOME. We're renting now but have every intention of buying it when our lease is up (or when we feel like we can afford it).
Things are a little (and by a little I mean a lot) tight with money right now. I WISH we were one of those couples who could just go out and buy what we want/need when we want/need it but we're not. We are however working on our business and even though it seems like success is a long time coming it will be worth it in the end. I have faith that this business is what God wants for our lives. I feel that we are a couple who are meant to spend all day every day together. There have just been too many doors that God has closed in other areas and for some reason this business is the only door that he continually leaves open. YES, it is hard to be low on $$ and YES, we are sometimes together so much that we get on each others nerves and YES, it is annoying that nobody seems to really understand what we do but I really do think it's for the best. I think one day when we have a baby and we have the luxury of being able to spend all the time in the world with our kids that will make it all worth it. I don't want to be a working mom, I know it works really well for a lot of women but it doesn't feel right for me and I don't want Nathan to have to miss out on stuff either. I want us BOTH to be there when our baby says their first words or takes their first steps I want our kids to grow up with equal memories of mommy AND daddy. Yes, there are great moms and dads who work and I would never think less of anyone who works hard to provide for their family but I don't think it will be the plan for us. Of course God does have a way of changing things around so I guess we'll see.
The animals are good Audrey is my baby girl, she's a princess and that can be cute and also annoying. She is the cat that will for sure poop on the couch if the littler box isn't cleaned to her specifications. Lacey, is a scaredy cat quit literally she is afraid of EVERYTHING and her fear sometimes causes her to act a fool but truthfully she is really loving and silly. And Jackson is... Jackson. He is wild, he is crazy and he is constantly making me laugh he is a character for sure and even though sometimes I want to KILL HIM 90% of the time he is a sweetheart.
Nathan and I's marriage has been through a LOT in the 4 1/2 years that we've been married. Honestly I think we're been through more trials than some marriages could handle. A lot of our stuff we try to keep pretty private but some of it you might know. I am happy to say that I feel that with everything we've been through in such a short amount of time we can survive anything. I have often said that of everything in my life my marriage is the one thing I'm the most proud of. Yes, we annoy each other. yes, we fight. yes, we are unconventional but I think all those things just bring us closer together in the end. I love that man.
So I guess that's it for now... this was pretty boring and general but I guess that's what you have to do when you don't update for nearly a year! I'll get better... I promise
