It's been a while since my last post, but I've been wanting to come back on here and add stuff. So after extensive searching through my 4 different email accounts received and sent messages I was finally able to locate my login for the blog.
What's new with us single Ward's you ask?
Last year I gradually lost hours at work and ended up for about three months or more being lucky if I worked more than one day every other week. The job market is tough so finding a job was not at all easy. Of course I stopped answering my phone if I didn't have the number already saved in my phone (bill collectors, blah). I finally got a break and was offered temporary work at SmarterTools (Grady's company, but he had nothing to do with my hiring...I think). As my time there was coming to an end I was getting nervous wondering what I was going to do about work. I had tried all the job posting sites and two employment agencies with no luck. At the beginning of December I was offered a permanent full time job at SmarterTools, AWESOME! I was dreading having to find a new job especially since all my office skills lie in the administrative area and quite frankly after about 7 years of doing that kind of work, I'm sick of it. I was quite relieved to be offered a completely new, non-admin, position at the company. I have now been here for almost three months (WOOHOO!!!) and I love it! I love working with the guys in support, very interesting convo's at times and I've always known this was a great company. Needless to say, I'm very grateful for this job opportunity and I'm definently learning tons of new stuff.
On a more personal level: saving lots of money and will be able to completely pay cash for a car in April, living with Rachelle and Grady and their kids (it's great love the boys) in Phoenix, miss being able to see Wendy and her kids, miss hanging with Laurel and I guess Sarah too and Deana (still working on making new friends on this side of town). Sad that I don't get to see my new nephew for a while. Keep getting sick but excited to finally get insurance in May! This new singles ward I'm in is pretty good.
That's all for now from me. I'm working on gettting Laurel and Sarah to add their own comments, we'll see how that goes.
