Where do I even begin...

20 days ago Jason and I left for Spokane.  We were going because he had gotten a job.  His training was Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and we thought he would be leaving Thursday.  Long story short he officially left for the road on Sunday April 10.  He'll be out for 4 weeks then home for 4 days.  I miss him like crazy!  We talk everyday which helps.  Sometimes it's for 2.5 mins and sometimes it 18 mins.  I love every second and I look forward to that call all day ♥ 
I can't wait to see him!

 24 days ago I lost my job.  C.R.A.Z.Y.!  Things had been so extremely slow and had been for a while.  My dad finally talked to us and after all was said and done my brother and I both were laid off.  Sad day.

8 days ago I found out that my dad has gotten a new job and will be closing his business.  I'm sad that he's closing the shop down but I'm extremely happy that he got such a good job.  I also found out that this new job is in Kansas City!  I don't even know what to say, I'm so sad that I won't be able to see my family whenever I want.  And I will be the first one to say that I defiantly took advantage that my family was 15 mins away yet I NEVER visited them and for that I regret everyday now.  I love my family so much and that's why it hurts so much.  I wanna be selfish and throw a fit (like it would do any good =) but I know that this is a good thing for them and we all have to take care of our own families in order for our entire family to make it.

I'm not gonna lie, life is hard these days.  Some days are better then others and believe me I know the worst has yet to come but I also know that I have the best days still to come.

Figgeting in the passenger seat

Jason's work has been doing layoffs for a couple months now. They told a couple people when the layoffs first started that they would be ok. Jason was one of these people. His department started out with say 15 people. Then they went down to 10 people. Then 8, then 6, then 4, now it's just 2 of them. Jason is one of these 2. He's been being sent home early for months now. A few hours here, a few hours there, but really it has not hurt us bad. We've talked about him getting a new job or getting a second job part time but his job is a good job and if they make room for him else where we were ok with that. Rumor was that the 2 people left in "auto" would be moved to "home". We were holding out for "home" and waiting for the change. Yesterday Jason's floor manager asked him if he would like to run the .net department. He said yes of course, he'd rather do .net then "home", and she said "that's all I needed to know". I'm so excited that they thought of Jason for that position. He's trying not to get excited in case he's moved to "home" but I can't help it. Now we're playing the waiting game again, but this time I'm ok with it. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and I'm waiting for the road bumps to smooth out.

Uggh, it's Monday

Going back to work after 4 days off sucks!! I came into work this morning and my desk was a mess, of course. I was thinking about this last night. Everytime I take days off and come back my desk is covered with sticky notes, scrap papers, invoices, ect... I knew coming in this morning would be no different, and I was right.

My sister left this morning, and I already miss her. It's always such a blast having her down. We didn't do anything real exciting, but our time together was great. She's talking about moving here after high school and going to the community college for her AA. I'm trying not to get to excited, she's 17 after all and things could/will change. She's been talking about moving here for a couple years now so we'll see. It sure would be neat to see her everyday again. We are so alike yet so different. I see myself in her when I was her age and it cracks me up. She truly is one of my best friends. I love that she's always honest with me and tells it like it is. I can tell her anything and she never judges me or holds it against me. She really is the best. I wouldn't trade her for anything. Love ya Josie
