Judgement day has come and gone....it went just the way that I had prayed and hoped.
My husband moved up just about as far as he can go without being corportate. He will move out of his current position tomorrow at 5am and start his new position on Monday....best part is it's days 7-4 Monday-Friday.....it's the best thing that could happen for our marriage and for his career. He's a big wig now....Wow, as I look back.. I remember marrying a college student. He was 6 months from graduation when we married on his Christmas break. We were broke as broke could be. If anyone ever said that I married him for his money then that would be a joke. If anyone wants to believe that, then he had a dime and I had a nickel. LOL We had 1 car since the motor slung a rod a week after we married. We sacrificed and ate the crappiest food but we were happy AND broke.
Once he graduated the student loan money ran out and we were left with absolutely no money whatsoever. His grandmother helped us some....yes, we lived off of 500 bucks a month. Luckily, the house we lived in was inherited and paid for. We went all over the south east looking for a job.....getting your first job in the medical field is challenging. We were out of money and out of luck.......just as we were about to get frustrated, a job called in Tennessee....he agreed to an interview but we had no money for hotel room, gas, food, etc. We decided we would sell our waterbed. LMAO We sold if for 200 bucks and on our merry way we went. We got there and the job was NOT what it was suppose to be. We headed home in disgust and pulled in our drive way with 37 cents to OUR names. After going inside we realized we were broke as heck and we were gonna be sleeping on the floor. LOL Anyway, to make a long story short.....a loan later and moving to Greenville, MS, we both had work. As I heard the news yesterday that my husband accepted this position...I started thinking back to where we started 16 years ago. We've come a long way baby. I can't tell you the excitement that is felt right now. I feel like I'm going to be a newlywed again, feel like I am going to know him again, he is going to be a daddy again, he's gonna be home in the afternoons with us....no one knows the toll this position has cause on our marriage and to think that I just about gave up. Anyway, so much for my honking ....I am so thankful and excited for him and his career as well as for our family.

Sooo now I will get to have my hobbies back....I will get to scrapbook, have some help around the house, get to make the jewelry that I have been wanting to do. It's not going to be about being a "single married mom" anymore. Those days are long gone! Thank you Jesus for giving me a partner again and I pray that we can be best friends like we use to be.
