2 little monkeys at Castle Park

Both of these girls have mastered the monkey bars!

Back in my hometown!

After San Diego we moved to Phoenix for a couple months. Let's just say it wasn't any better there except to have family close by. It was wonderful being able to be near my sister Trista. It was healing for me and our family. After we realized we were hitting a dead end, Jesse touched base with his previous employer Siemens regarding any positions available. Timing is everything and within about 6 weeks, Jesse was offered a position and we packed up again to make a permanent move back to our hometown in Cameron Park. 

We had such an amazing welcome home from so many friends and family. It felt good, it felt right. I can't even express the joy and comfort people made us feel when we returned. 2016 was the hardest year of our life and coming back was like returning to a soft, loving place to land. 

Unfortunately I am still in the throws of a custody battle over Ryan. Matt doesn't want to allow me to go back to equal time with Ryan even though it's something he says he wants. He presented inaccurate information to the judge regarding information required to set an amount for child support. Due to my absence at the hearing and my niavity that correct information would be presented, I was hit with a monthly child support amount of $633 a month. Backdating to September 1st, 2016. You want to believe that people try to be honest and truthful especially the father of your son, but I know now he will do whatever it takes to hurt me and make me pay (for who knows what) I did to him. I look forward to this mess being over!
