Well I guess first off, if you have found this page, you have stumbled upon my personal expressive writings. I don't like to journal but this is my attempt of putting my thoughts into words.
Well, where to begin. Everything has been building over the past 2 years really. After I got married, my wife moved out to Wyoming where I lived at the time. You see I was born and raised in Wyoming and after college, I moved to Casper. It is a city that is not very well liked within Wyoming mainly because it is dirty and the type of people that live there are not friendship material. I don't mean to be judgmental, I am simply saying everyone smokes, seems to be missing 1 or more teeth, drives a piece of junk truck, and doesn't care for the appearance of their homes. Also, the wind seems to blow 15-50 mph (no joke) about 80% of the time. I lived there for 6 years before getting married and then for another 2 before we moved to Colorado. I had one friend that lived there (an old college roommate) but he and his wife were busy with their 2 kids and "the church" and they never would invite us to events or think to include us on any planning. My wife had a few coworker friends but still the same scenario. So began the hunt for a new career in Colorado so we could begin our new life. This seemed like a blessing and still kind of is but I have never experienced so much stress before. You see I had a extremely well paid position with an oil pipeline company and really didn't like certain aspects of the job. I enjoyed the work, I just hated having to drive an hour and a half out to my office and an hour and a half back home. EVERY DAY!!! Also, I didn't work with anyone 99% of the time. I knew this going into it but it really didn't take effect until about 4 years in. So we decided to apply for new jobs in Colorado, move down here and start our new lives. Well it sounds good in theory. We are not able to sell our house in Casper even though it is an amazing, pristine, immaculate, worry free, care free home. This has added to the stress that my wife has recently miscarried our first child and also adds to the stress of new jobs with a second house payment. Yahweh please help!!!
