Breakdown? Breakthrough.

Breakdown. That basically sums up the recent events. To quote one of my favorite characters, Jerry Maguire, "Breakdown? Breakthrough," I'm hoping that's what my breakdown last night is. A breakthrough.

Last night was a full on total breakdown for me. And, it all started at Walgreen's as I was filling my monthly prescriptions, which have now soared to almost three times to what I was paying before thanks to a new insurance plan. Do I want to take three medications for migraines? No. But, is that my current reality in order to function through my days with some sort of normal? Yes.

The financial hurdles that Roman and I are facing are tough. And, the stress of that is taking a huge toll on me lately. Every time we seem to have a plan in place, something else comes our way to set us back even further than before. Satan is definitely working hard against us right now.

What I do know is this: Our relationship is stronger than ever. I know we will make it through and come out better for it on the other side.

But, getting to that other side is going to be a long and winding road. We have a plan, we are educating ourselves, we are making cuts in every way possible. But, is that enough? When is it going to get better? Is it going to get better? Will we ever be ready to start a family? Will we ever be able to buy the house we hope to have some day?

Breakthrough. I need one.
