We're gonna try something

Kyle and I want to try getting our picture made together at the Walmart studio...a really nice picture together, whenever we get the time. We'd like to do this so that we can make see how much we've changed since we got married also hopefully we can send these pictures out with Christmas cards. I look at our engagement photos occasionally and think, "whoa...we look young!" even though it was only a couple years ago...I think we'll look at these new ones and see how much we've matured and grown up. I think this move has made us grow up in many ways--not just stressing us out beyong belief but made us depend on ourselves and each other and nobody else. It's hard. We've established a beautiful, comfy and cozy home (that's eating us alive, financially--although who isn't having trouble nowadays?) with a cute and cuddly kitten, and we're starting to make new friends. I'm establishing some roots, very small ones, with a few schools/teachers through subbing and Kyle's feeling really happy/worried/nervous in his job. He's happy most of the time but he's still worried in the back of his mind about Micron and their financial woes. He really would like to stay with them as long as they'll keep him because he truly enjoys his work. He feels needed and respected there unlike where he worked for his co-op at Polytron. At Polytron, he was seen basically as a mere minion...just a college student with not much experience. However, he does realize that Polytron gave him certain skills that he wouldn't have gotten if he didn't have the co-op experience: he learned about how to deal with the work/professional environment such as professional behavior in the workplace. Anyway, he's just extremely happy with where he is right now but he's kind of worried also that it's getting closer to time where he'll get a promotion on the payscale and he's scared that something will happen where he won't meet the standards required in order to jump up. I keep telling him that he's met all he needs to do and his supervisor seems to be on his side constantly and that his supervisor really gives him so much praise for what Kyle's been doing in their area...there has to be something to that, right?
