Jed did it! He resigned from his job. We're scared but excited about it. We'll be living for about a year without a constant income while Jed attends school full time. If everything goes the way we hope, he will graduate in April of 2009. Then from there...that's a whole other story! One to come later because we don't know for sure. Baby Steps! We're still hoping for Texas, but we'll cross that path when we come to it.
I babysit for the family upstairs from us, so our payment is rent and utilities (that helps A LOT). I'll be doing some other babysitting jobs (and maybe a small preschool) while Jed might be doing some home automation installation jobs. With that and learning how to eat in and what's better (cheaper) to buy and making a couple more financial adjustments, we'll survive.
Your love and support will be greatly appreciated also. That too will get us through this new lifestyle. This is especially difficult for Jed, so any words of encouragement for him would be great. Thank you all for your friendship and love.
Also, if anyone has any good advice on insurance, we would greatly appreciate it. We need to find some for us and the boys soon. (We have till the end of this month)
And, if anyone were wanting to purchase anything from RC Willey (electronics or appliances) do it NOW because Jed's last day of work is the 16th!
Starting up Again!

WOW! Way to go you two! I'm not sure how you feel about it but you could always see about getting the boys on CHIP. The way I see it, you've been putting money into it for such a long time, take a short break to get through school, and then you'll be feeding money into it for the rest of your life. :)
we're actually looking into it. it's pretty nice because coverage starts the day you send in an application.
wow! how scary is that?! It's hard at frist when your husband goes back to school, but it gets better and easier to adjust after a while. You'll be just fine.
Good Luck! I hope everything works out for you all! Sounds like you have everything figured out! I agree with the CHIP idea!

you know we support you 100%!
here's the way I see it...
as long as you're paying your tithing, the Lord will take care of you! :) we want our husbands to find something they love for a career, it just may be a fun adventure getting there! right? :)
Congratulations!!!!!! It finally happened, Good job Leona for not backing down, Everything will work out you have my 100% support!!!!
Tell Jed he did right and tell him that we are behind him cheering him on. It will be hard for awhile until you get into it, but things will turn out okay. We love you all.
I know how Jed feels. We're always being told the husband is the breadwinner. That's a huge responsibility. It put a lot of weight on our shoulders. But sometimes we need to do something like this for a better future. You have our love and support. -dad
