Hello! I am so sorry I have not been around in so long. 2018 sure was a busy and crazy year!
My last time posting was before the big move. My fella, Jay and my mom and I all bought a house together and moved in at the end of September.
Since then I have been working a lot, and whenever I can spending time at home settling in to the place. I absolutely LOVE it here. I am surrounded by beauty. Mountains, trees, wildlife. Stellar jays, chickadees, Northern Flickers, raccoons, squirrels. I even have a fish pond in the back yard.
I think I would be happy if I lived here forever and ever.
We had a nice first Christmas & New Years here. I may do a separate post regarding that sometime soon.
I am still working for the financial institution, and things have been extremely stressful lately. I saw my doctor today and she recommends I take a medical stress leave... I am going to think about it for sure.
Hope you all are well and I will try to post more often this year!
(The photo is of Jay and I in front of our new house on moving day!)

So far so good - they are mostly elderly and quiet - got one house with some younger people in it that I'm not too fond of but they are not owners so hopefully they leave soon LoL

Congrats on the new home. It sounds like beautiful place to live. You have to take care of your health so if You are extremely stressed at work then a leave would do you look.

I know I should, and I want to, but now my mom is getting on me about it, saying we won't have enough money if I do this and saying I should just stay at work ... she doesn't get it.

Hello!
Welcome back to MyLot! Congratulations on the new home you just bought, It sounds like a dream would love to have a house like that. Sorry to hear about your stress from your job perhaps it would be a good idea to take a short leave just to distress a bit as your health is very important. May 2019 be a wonderful year for you enjoying your new home. :)
