Another Baby??

No, no way in hell!! I know a lot of you were thinking that was our "big news", but you are far from close!!

Actually, I just wanted to take a moment and update everyone on the lives of the McDuffies. Over the last couple years there have been a ton of changes around here. We are on a path to finding ourselves. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder as well as a few other issues. I have had a series of ups and downs (which explains the deletion of some people and readding) I am finally on meds that work for me and I feel "normal" again. John has been by my side every step of the way and I am so proud to say that I feel as though the manic ups/downs have almost completely ended.

Now onto John, which is the biggest news of all. We have both had a lot of stress put on us since he took this new job with the University. Things changed almost instantly there. He went from a job that he loved and took pride in, to a job that wore him down mentally. He was turning into someone that was not familiar to me or our family. So this week, after a very intense meeting with his supervisor.. he told me he just cant do it anymore. We went over our finances and before any big moves were made, he found out he could take a job temporarily with my dad at the cemetery. So, as of Friday, John is no longer employeed by the University of Colorado. This is a huge change for our family as John will be working 12 hour days 6 days a week. We will be making less than we were before, but we are thankful that we will not be without a paycheck at all.

One last note, many of you have asked about the police positions that John has applied for. As of right now, Golden & Boulder have chosen not to move John on with the application process. He will continue pursuing his dream of becoming a police officer and when the time is right, it will happen.

John and I would like to take a minute to thank everyone who has been by our side and who continue to support us. Without the love and support of our family and friends we would be lost.

Much love to you all and God Bless you.
