Wedding Update

Hello to our wonderful friends and family!

When we moved to New Jersey for a better opportunity in advancing my career and with hopes of getting Josh hired; we enjoyed the beach with each other on our free time.  Bike riding, joining the festivities downtown, embracing the warm sun and meeting new friends.  I had dreams - HUGE dreams of a co-partnership to run a new non-profit agency.  However, both of our career plans fell through horribly.  Once again, it was time to move back home in Ohio.  We have been fortunately grateful to be among familiar faces that we love so dearly.

I got a job working part-time as a direct care staff for those with developmental disabilities and my hours go about approximately 20 hours a week.  Josh also got a job working part time on trial for a company as a web designer and a SharePoint designer - unfortunately that one did not pan out.  I did try for a 2-hour interview in Columbus at a non-profit agency for full time plus amazing benefits and wasn't selected for the position.

Josh and I realized that there is 10 months and 13 days left until our wedding.  Weddings can be expensive even if we created a budget and still have an extremely long checklist of preparations, plans and millions of things that needs to be done.  I was getting extremely anxious as we still need to pay off the moving expenses (to and from New Jersey) with little money that we have plus a couple of medical bills of my own.  I did feel extremely guilty of making that decision to move and it came with costly consequences of leaving the best job I've ever had before the move to New Jersey.

Today, Josh and I had a brief discussion and we've made it official to postpone the wedding and that August 11, 2012 that we had previously announced is cancelled.  We will not set a new date at this time.

We are sorry to bring you the bad news but the good news is that we are still committed to each other and as much as we love each other, we are both trying to pull our weights together and make it through.

Much love from us both.
