I'm feeling pretty good about this whole thing now.  I've got my life in line again, figured out an achievable 5-year plan, and as contact dissolves with my soon-to-be-ex-wife's family, I'm finding that I'm much less stressed out.  I don't have to work 3 jobs anymore to make ends meet, one will suffice.  As soon as I get a full time job, which should be very soon, I'll be able to get back into school.  Dropping music as my profession and switching to nursing.  Of course, that means I have 4 solid years of college ahead of me when I'm almost 23, but it doesn't matter that I'll be older than the rest of the class - what matters is that I'm the best I can be for myself and my daughter.  I've got a good idea of where I want to move to after I finish my RN certification where I can work a REAL job and still go to college to get my BS in Nursing where there's a much lower cost of living than what I'm accustomed to.  Heck, I'm even finding myself getting closer to a girl I've been best friends with for years - until my wife told me not to talk to her anymore out of jealousy even though there was no infidelity whatsoever.  Interestingly enough, she lives in that particular area and is also switching her major to nursing this year.  Obviously, nothing will develop until the divorce is finalized, but we've talked about it and we want to give it a shot.  She loves kids (especially mine), loves the Lord, has the same child-rearing ideas as I do, is responsible, is very intelligent, and is very much into me.  Only thing I'm worried about is the fact she looks a lot better than I do.  In most cases, the gorgeous girl will leave the goofy guy.  That's what happened this past time around - but the new guy is REALLY ugly.  Kind of reminds me of Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers movies, but Hispanic.  Anyway, things are really looking up and I can only praise God for His incredible blessings each and every day!
