Our Prayers Have Been Answered!

GREAT NEWS!

Tony got a job! :) I know I mentioned before that I was thankful that we had a savings account to fall back on, especially in times like these, but I have to admit I was starting to get a little bit anxious. How can I not when there are bills to pay and a baby on the way? Our savings would have only lasted for so long and we had no idea how long it could potentially have taken for Tony to find another job. It takes some people months or even years. Luckily for us, it took 2 weeks. I know that doesnt sound like long (and in reality, it isnt, which I'm soooo thankful for) but in the mind of a pregnant woman, it's forever. I was worried. 

Tony went on multiple job interviews and actually had a few options. Apparently, he makes a good impression on employers and there were multiple ones interested. However, he ended up taking a job at CBC Trucking (a moving company). It's a highly rated company (A+ in the Better Business Bureau) and the movers are well represented because they are great with customer service and take pride in their jobs. Tony went in for an interview at the beginning of last week and the guy who was hiring called him on Thursday night of last week and asked if he could come in that evening and get to know the place and what the job would entail. He went in from 6 PM - 9 PM (paid) and when he came back, he said it sounded like a great position. They liked Tony a lot so they officially offered him a job. Of course, there were a couple things we still neded to make sure of (that he could have the days off for our baby classes and what they were like regarding our due date and baby girl coming into the world), so Tony went in the next day from 6 AM - 3 PM (again paid) and found out everything. Apparently, it sounds great! They want him to work 5 days a week. They are completely fine with him having the baby classes off (which takes place this Saturday and Sunday and then again next Saturday) so right now they are having him work Monday - Friday (6 AM - 3PM or thereabouts) and after the classes are over, he'll be working Tuesday - Saturday (same times). They are also very happy for him that he is expecting a child and they have no problem with him being there for the birth of his child (you'd be surprised what problems some employers do have with stuff like that) and that he can even have a week off after the baby is born to hang out with me and Anistynn for that special bonding experience :) I like it so far from the sound of it - the hours are great because he still gets to come home early enough in the day (so that we can have dinner together and spend time as a family after Anistynn gets here) while still working full time and then some. He'll be making slightly less than he was at his previous job, but still good enough. He says the people there are really nice and it's totally opposite than how Suntrax Logistics was. So it will be a better environment for him overall. He'll get paid every Friday (as opposed to his last job where he was paid twice a month) and his official title is Warehouse Manager. 

So to sum up - same job, same title, almost the same pay, and a LOT better place to work at. He's already worked the last two days (so four days total so far) and he's pretty happy. I will continue to pray that this remains good and positive - he seems to really believe this will be a pretty stable job. That certainly eases Mama's worries :)

Praise God!
