Big News For The Wood Family

If this is your first time reading my blog I suggest checking the "A little history goes a long way" tab at the top, to fully understand why this news is so important to us. I don't even know where to begin except I'll say... 

WHOOHOO! 

After 3 years of "hell" and not having a permanent home, we can finally say it is coming to an end. Most students don't get a job until after they have completed their undergrad studies. Some do get internships but normally they aren't paying and they are minimum wage. My husband who has been working his butt off for the last 3 years finally caught a break! He started his first day of his last semester as an undergrad and he already landed his first "big boy" JOB!!!

No more stressing about prorating pay checks or dealing with the VA anymore! As much as the GI Bill was a blessing, it sure was a pain. We are still in shock! This isn't some petty job, this is an accounting job for a great company here in Burbank. Because he landed this job we actually get to start looking for houses a lot sooner than we thought! I'm so proud of this guy! I lived and personally seen what hard work he has done. If anyone deserves it this guy does! He isn't on salary until he is done with school in December but still... HE HAS A JOB! The amount of stress that is relieved  from the both of us is indescribable! We are truly blessed and extremely thankful for this opportunity. He starts in September on the 8th! The second he got the email that he was for sure in, he instantly put his two weeks notice at his other jobs. I haven't seen him this happy in a long time!

And a plus I get to see him in business clothes. He looks so handsome all dressed up! The holidays this year are going to be more enjoyable, we get to finally buy a house, pay off some student loans and begin this new journey. We haven't bought a house yet because we have not known where we will be living permanently. No need to make a big purchase like that, when we have moved 10 times in the last 6 years! To finally start looking for our permanent home is a dream come true! To build memories and to grow our family more. We can't wait! God works in amazing ways!
