It's been a while, but here is the update.
We are both having health issues, but nothing too serious on my end. Just my horrible effing genetics. Desiree went to her first football game with friends tonight. I keep wanting to text her and call her. Justin tells me to let her be a teen... Its so hard!  I've been working hard at work trying to do better... It's paid off. I'm one of the best on my team now, and since I start my Bachelor's next month (EEEK!!!) I want to be in a position that I can move up and use my degree. I don't want to be someone that has a degree they don't ever use.
     I'm still hoping that people will see our page and realize that we could use the help they would provide. We are struggling, trying to make a better life, and so far things have gotten in the way of that.
