It seems like no matter how much faith I had, it didn't make any difference in the outcomes. Except for the infertility diagnosis. I wasn't going to take no for an answer. And I've proven those doctors wrong with my two beautiful children and another on the way.
I consider myself very giving and an honest person. Most people think that I'm being mean or rude because I tell it like it is. I don't like to beat around the bush and play games when it comes stuff people want an honest opinion on something.
I've always bent over backwards for people and always get nothing in return. Instead some just whine that they never get their way or no one cares enough about them.
The same goes for work. I bust my butt, day in and day out trying to prove myself in hopes for a better opportunity to be given in return. I'm still stuck in the same position I was almost 15 years later in this company.
The other day I was asked if I'd be intersted in a position change. It wouldn't be until next year though. I'm not holding my breath until I see something on writing, as I've been through this several times and nothing came out of it or someone got in the way.
In my original posting, I mentioned moving to Colorado for work back in 2002. Well, at the end of August of 2012, we moved back to California.
I was lucky enough to take my job with me and work from our sales office. However, Jason wasn't so lucky. He was told in an earlier conversation with his boss that he wouldn't be able to work remotely. When the time came, knowing what he was already told, he was given the only choice to resign from the company as we were moving out of state.
Of course they freaked out and made a temporary agreement for him to continue to work until the end of the year, but after that his resignation would be honored.
Before the year ended, he asked if he could apply for a position in another department. His boss at the time didn't see anything wrong with it. He then approached the manager of the other department that had available positions. They were more than thrilled to bring him over. However, a higher up person shut down the transfer for whatever reason. So when the end of the year came, he packed up his stuff and that was the end of a 20 year relationship with the company.
From the time we moved back, to now, we've lived with my in-laws. It's been a bit awkward, as we literally have no space to call our own. All our stuff is in storage. It has been a rough year in this situation. I know now it's been harder on me personally because of all the extra hormones.
Now for some good stuff. Even though Jason technically quit, he did qualify for unemployment since the reason was because of an out of state move. YAY!
We applied for a loan to buy a house with just me since Jason wasn't working. Shockingly it was approved. We quickly found a place we both loved and made an offer. The next day our offer was accepted.
The whole process has been pretty easy for the most part. However, last Friday we found out we wouldn't close on schedule as we had planned. We may be delayed as much as 2 weeks. This is such a bummer and I cried after I got off the phone with the realtor.
About 2 weeks ago a company got in contact with Jason for a potential position after seeing his resume that we sent a few month back. Last Wednesday he had a "meeting" to just talk about the possible position. Well today, the guy he's been talking with, calls him and made him an offer!
This has been a huge blessing for us. Although he's loved being a stay-at-home dad for the past 10 months, he's definitely ready to get back out there. Plus, the extra income doesn't hurt either.
Now we just need to get the word that all things are settled with our new house and can close soon.
It seems like after having all this bad stuff happen to us, that finally things are going in favor of us. New house, new job, two beautiful children and another on the way.
Now if only we could hit the Powerball jackpot and life would be that much better. (One can only hope 😜)
