We have had a few big changes at our house this last year. In January Matt was let go from Fanzz, and he began working at Questar in February. It was a great job. Matt learned a lot about fighting off crazy dogs, he always put his cone out behind his truck when driving a company vehicle (safety first), and he was in pretty good shape from walking around neighborhoods all day long.
Well, about 3 or 4 weeks ago he got a phone call from a guy at Fanzz who is the men's apparel buyer. He needed to hire an assistant, and Matt was the first person he thought of. Matt was very interested because he actually always wanted to be a buyer, and he applied for the position a couple of times before he was layed off. So he went in for an interview, and they were able to offer him more money than he used to make at Fanzz, and he feels like it will be more secure than his job at Questar was. They hired him about 2 days later, and he put in his 2 weeks at Questar. He is so excited to have a job that he is interested in again (if any of you know Matt, he is a sports FREAK!) and so I am excited for him. I can't imagine having a job that I didn't love, so I am really happy that he finally has that again.
These last 8 months have been the hardest of our marriage (granted, we have only been married 2 1/2 years, but none-the-less they have been tough). I am so excited for things to turn around for us (financially) and hopefully it will take away some of the stress that money can bring into life and marriage.
Congratulations baby!! I am so happy for you!
