One Door Closes....Another One Opens

Well today was the day that my job at Centurylink has come to an end. I was let go due to not meeting my numbers. All I can say is that I'm proud of myself for working so hard and never giving up even when I wanted to. So my chapter with that part of my life has closed. I am looking forward to finally completing my FASFA so I can start looking at schools and getting a job that isn't based off of sales. While my door has closed Ricky's has opened! Thankfully (with perfect timing) Ricky started working at another job that will be able to support us. I am so thankful for that opportunity that he has gotten. I will keep everyone updated with all news that I get!

Blessings and Smiles

This week I have experienced the most wonderful thing I have ever seen or heard of. While at work I became truly humbled with one woman's actions that helped me realize blessings come in all shapes and sizes. This woman called in and wanted to set up internet for someone she hasn't seen or talked to in over 25 years. Now normally this happens and the person calling in puts it in the other persons name and just pays it for a while, but this woman put everything in her name. She put it in her name but gave the service to this other woman. The woman she was giving it to had pancreatic cancer and had already tried to have surgery to get it remove but had relapsed. She is now going through chemo and radiation and can no longer afford some of her bills. The woman I talked to wanted to help her with her internet and pay everything so this woman battling cancer had one less bill to worry about and could continue to blog about her triumph and trials battling with cancer. It was the most heart touching moment I have had where I work. Someone was being so helpful for someone who she barely knew anymore. 

There are great people out there willing to help others and I know that this story will stick with me forever. Not only was I blessed to be apart of something so amazing but also Ricky was blessed this week as well. He has been offered a job with his step grandpa and he will be making good money. That helps relieve a lot of stress off me with me coming close to losing my job. God is listening to us and helps us just at the right moments, never too soon and never too late. I am very happy and fortunate that we have been blessed with this as well. 

This weekend we are celebrating my grandparents 40 year anniversary, and a Happy Anniversary to them! :) Other then that I am going to relax and enjoy my time off for awhile before it's back to another very busy work week. Lots of overtime planned for me on Monday! (and not by choice haha!)  But along with everything else I am truly blessed to have a job and a place to call my own!
