Last Week of Work

This week is my last week of work at the Technology Hut. Jenna and I will have about 10 days off before I start my new job, and she is officially a stay at home wifey! We are both excited and sad about leaving our jobs, we both have been with our companies for a very long time, and they have been good to both of us, for the most part. It is time to move on to the next step in our lives, however.

What are we going to do?

With all that has been going on with my new job and the move, we now don't know if we are going to be able to afford to live renting my uncles house. We have been looking at our budget and man is it going to be tight when we first start out. We don't know if we should find another place to live or just try and make it work. We know one thing for sure, we don't want to move into a house and then turn around and move again in a couple of months. Stay tuned for further developments.

What a Long Day

Yesterday I worked an 11 hour shift, it was the longest shift of my life. When being involved with retail sales the only time you are busy is when a customer comes in your store. Well in the cellphone business there aren't very many people that come in just to look, they usually come in for a specific reason and usually it's not a good one. Most times it has to do with a broken phone or that they are upset about their bill, like I can fix it. I so can't wait to be done with this job!

Samples Samples

After I get off work today we are heading back home to Forest City. Tomorrow we're going up to Albert Lea to decide on paint and carpet colors for the house we are going to be renting from my Uncle Kevin. Yesterday Jenna went to Home Depot to get carpet samples and today she was going to Wal-Mart to get paint samples. So tonight and tomorrow we will be putting them together to match our furniture.

It is all set!

This week has been a very busy week, with discussing the job offer and the whole housing issue. We now are getting new furniture and trying to figure out our budget on how it's going to work out monthly. It all looks good, everything is working great and we are excited. Praise the Lord!

We Got New Furniture

Last night we went to Furniture Row to look at a new dining room table, couch and a love seat. We were able to get a great deal on both so we will pick them up when we are ready to move. Jenna and I really feel that we are doing the right thing because everything is moving so smoothly that we really feel that God has his hand in it. We will just have to trust in him.

I have a job!

After a long discussion between Jenna and I we decided to take my Grandpa's job opportunity for me. We also found that we can rent out my Uncles old house, from them in Albert Lea. So now we are going to be moving on February 10th. So now it's a matter of packing and getting ready to move.

What to do?

So Jenna and I have been seriously considering what my Grandpa has to offer us. We are thinking about a lot right now, where to live, will our budget work. I hope that this is a step inthe right direction and everything will work out. We will pray about this and hope that God gives us a peace about it.

New Job Opportunities

After taking a weekend to reflect on what direction I wanted to go with my life. I considered banking as an option, but don't know what opportunites are available. I have contacted the Vice President of a bank here in Cedar Falls, to see what options there are available. I also talked to my Grandpa, who owns his own business, to see what opportunities he has available for me as well. After meeting with my Grandpa I found that he has some opportunities available for me that could possibly work out for us. So we'll have to see how this all plays out.

It is a sad day

Today I found out that the job that I had been interviewing for over the past 6 months was filled. I don't understand it, it was an entry-level position but yet they filled it with someone with 13 years experience. I am really disappointed, and don't know what to do now. I am really going to have to take a hard look at what I want, and pray that God will guide me to what he has planned for me.

Update on Job Hunt

Well since I have been so busy over the holidays I haven't had a chance to update you on my job hunt. I can honestly say that not much at all has changed. I still have yet to heard anything from BMS on the job that I have been interviewing for, but I only hope that it is soon.

A Day of Relaxation

Happy New Year! Today we celebrated Christmas in the Sankey household. It was a nice day to just sit back and relax after the business of the holidays. So today I just sat around and watched football, and later on we opened up presents when Jake got home from his trip that he took. I had a great holiday break, even though it was busy.
