I hate change, seriously hate it, but I am starting to realize it can be a good thing. We made it through our first week of many changes. All I can say is how overwhelmed I feel with all the blessings we have received. Just to start last week Brett took the week off before he started school so we could just relax as a family and get things ready for our new adventure (even though we were all sick all week! yuck!). The first of last week looked pretty glum for us. We went to the State Office building to see if we could put the kids on Medicaid and see if we were eligible for any other assistance because at the time we were unemployed and would be full time students. Well after waiting in line forever we quickly found out we were not eligible for anything;( Frustrated for sure. That soon changed though. When we got home we looked at the student health insurance through ISU and to our surprise it was not much more to add the kids with Brett and I. Relief! Next step, employment. We were getting a little nervous because we really didn't have any prospects for jobs, especially in this economy, but knew financially we needed at least part time income to get us through this year. Well Friday rolled around and I got a call from my old boss at the Family Practice I worked at for several years. She was in need of part time help and the hours were PERFECT! What a wonderful blessing. I started there this week and everything went great, it was like I never left and Brett did great with the kids while I was at work!
I really wanted Brett to just focus on school, but he is just too much of a busy body and found part time work at a local place here in Shelley at Ag Parts (Thanks to my dad:). The hours for him will be pretty random, but we are thankful for it anyways.
Lastly, Brett had all of his classes this week and they all seem pretty good. He enjoyed most of them and is looking forward to the end of the semester.... I mean looking forward to learning a lot.
I guess I just needed to write this down because of how blessed we have been. Brett quitting his job to return to school was something we have gone back and forth on for a while, it's a scary thing! But when we made the decision to go ahead and do it a few months ago it felt so right. I know this is what our Heavenly Father wants us to be doing right now, and He is helping us. Having Brett gone all last year for work was hard on all of us, but sometimes you have to go through bad times to really appreciate the good times. ---Like Brett sleeping in his own house every night!! Holla! Here's to 2012!!!
Well I guess Friday the 13th is a good day!
