New Job

Most of you probably already know this, but Cody got a new job! He started on October 5th. Why did it take me until October 25th to write about it? Well, to be honest, I think a part of me has felt it's too good to be true. I've been afraid that something would happen, that it wouldn't actually work out. And I suppose I've been this way because there have been a number of other jobs that seemed like the perfect fit, that he interviewed well for, had second interviews for, etc. that just didn't work out. So, I've decided that it's time I start believing that this is really happening. We aren't going to have to worry about how we are going to make it, because we're making it now. I went and bought a few Christmas presents for my girls this past week. I haven't been able to do that for the past couple of years. It was a great feeling. But more than anything, I don't want to forget. I don't want to forget what it feels like to worry about money, to not have enough to make it, to not be able to provide Christmas, because there are still so many people that are worrying. And I hope I can be the one to leave the Christmas gifts on someone else's doorstep because I have been the recipient of that generosity from others and it meant more than I can ever adequately express. So, GREAT NEWS, Cody has a new job! He is working for City Deals as a web developer, he enjoys what he is doing and the people he works with, and the company is growing so it's a good place to be.
