After over two years of headaches, heartaches, lapses in sanity, poorness, mounting debt, unemployment, under-employment, hospital stays, surgery, and dependence on family to survive---My husband has a full-time job that can pay the ALL bills!
Drew and I were married on Saturday, June 13th of 2009. I was laid off a month before
our wedding and had two small blips of a job in the last two very long years. We have struggled financially until we
could do no more on our own and had to accept help from family. It has been utterly maddening.
Today was his last day as a part-time supervisor with UPS. Tuesday he starts his new job. It will make a little over $31,000 a year. To us, this is a fortune. It covers all the bills, will allow us to get a bigger apartment, save, pay down our debt, get Netflix back, buy better food, tithe, get a washer and dry, and do something fun occasionally.
No more agonizing over "we don't have the money." No more borrowing or taking money. No more mental stress of "I need a job!" or "Drew needs a better job!" No more wondering who will watch the baby if I'm working. No more guilt about not working or staying home with the baby. No more blaming and beating myself up over not being able to get a job. No more feeling utterly lost.
Yeeeeaaahhhhhhh, good feelings.
