Jobby Job

Yep thats right. I had to get a job. :( Tracy is just not quite ready for the army yet and while I know that its only for a few months it still sucks. But as Tracy said he doesnt feel bad about making sacrifices for the army because he knows I'm willing to sacrifice for him. The job that I found is perfect for our situation right now luckily. Its at H & R Block for the tax season, possibly until May. I told Tracy he has to be ready by the end of March just to make sure. It is literally two minutes from my house which means if I absolutely had to I could walk to work in 15 minutes. But like I want to walk in freezing utah winter temperatures!! It doesnt pay much but its just enough that Tracy was able to go part time at his job (34 hours a week is hardly part time but whatever!) and still be home to watch the girls in the day when I'm working, which means no day care! It also means I can come home on my lunch break and nurse Madison, which is a bonus for me and her! Its such a blessing that this job came along. I hate job hunting and I hated the idea of getting a higher paying job that was farther away. A job far away means more gas money and less time with my family and that just cancels out any monetary benefit. My boss(es) are wonderful and so far I really like everyone in the office, however as it was my first day that could change, but I doubt it will.

On a very very sober note, my very best friend in the whole world (BFB) lost her father today very unexpectedly. To anyone who knows her, or knows of her, please keep her and her family in your prayers. Mike was an awesome guy and he and his wife RaDene took me in when I had no where else to go. I will forever be in debt to them and can not put into words how much this loss is affecting me. I know that my grief is in no way close to what they are feeling but I hope they find the comfort that they need right now.
