Finally!

Well, it's official...Jim finally has gotten a new position at work that he's been going after for months. We're really excited for him and for what this means for our family. He'll be working longer, overnight shifts which means that he'll only be working 3 days one week and 4 the next. Of course he'll still be picking up overtime when he can, but we'll be seeing him much more.

Of course he'll need to sleep when he gets home after working, but he will be around for more hours in the day before he heads off to either work or school. I just have to get used to being here alone during the overnights sometimes. I guess I've had quite a bit of practice when he's been riding already, but now it will be much more regular.

This new position also will coordinate with his unpaid internship in a month or so allowing him to work his full schedule instead of having to take vacation time to get paid. What this means for us is some extra cash should we choose to just take the money from all the vacation time he's been saving up....or maybe sometime we could actually take a VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What in the world is that? But, as you can see, this new job opens up some more possibilities for us in great ways.

This is also very exciting for him because his job itself will be very different and have much variety each shift.

Way to go honey!
