    The Kendra's Journal Podcast

    Mom and "B" drove to Connecticut so she could start school. They made it safely but "B" had to head back to Oregon after a week. It was Christmas and Mom was along, but excited to start law school. And even though classes hadn't started yet, she already had homework. She was still in the process of setting up her new place and got a job, but was worried about the schedule with school starting. Phillip had a BIG announcement around this time and Mat enrolled in college. School started and Mom was planning on completing her law degree in 2.5 years instead of the typical 3-4 years. She was also beginning to plan her trip home for spring break. She was loving law school and felt like it was the right place. Enjoy!

    Wrong Again

    Recorded 9-3-18 Big Mat had his 23rd birthday! Mom was living in Boise, ID and working at the courthouse while taking night classes for the Paralegal program. Classes were going well, Mom got an A on an exam. She was hoping that doing well in school would lead to a job that pays her enough to pay off the law school loans. She was in a "sort of" relationship but she and the guy had different ideas of what that relationship was. It ends up coming to a "sort of" end and she gained some insight into her feelings of a past relationship. She also decided she wanted to move to Portland after finishing the Paralegal program.

    Exes, the early days of online dating, and slightly questionable choices in the name of background checks. Big Mat was getting ready for a trip to California to look at schools. Maybe Mom's dream of winning Publisher's Clearinghouse or the Powerball will happen and we're living off the dividends now ;-). It's been fun getting back into this process. Enjoy!

  8. Episode 246

    246 My Happy Ending

    We had a technical glitch so there are no reminders at the beginning of this week. Sorry, you don't get to hear us ramble for five minutes before we start reading ;-) Mom hears from Vegas in this one and later gets a reminder of why she left. Online dating is feeling like a bust, what she really wants is a bad boy with a heart of gold. She goes to Hermiston for her favorite grandson's birthday but he ends up in the hospital with bronchitis. Then she returns to Las Vegas and tries to improve her life, relationship, and physical/mental health. Money is still tight without the settlement then Vegas makes her question her decision to return. More talk about marriage?
