A G-R-E-A-T start to the weekend!!

/
 
 
As you can tell I am VERY excited. I came home to the best news ever! Yes, there has been many  pep talks, moral booster, disrupted sleeps, anxiety attacks and lots of prayer but all things are possible when God is on your side.
 
 
 
 
After three years my son will be starting his new job. My son was laid off from his engineering job and he seemed lost at times, feeling like he was missing out and his skills were diminishing. There were time I had to tell him to look at his degree, tell me how you think you are missing out? You are equipped with all the knowledge it takes to earn that "piece of paper" as he would put it. Yes, you read it correctly, he would refer to it as a "piece of paper"! The nerve!!!
 
I'm happy I can breath again. Not meaning things were bad but I can breath. I can treat myself to a few silkies now without thinking about it. I can buy me two pair of shoes if I want! I  can search for my holy grail but after I payoff the rest of my debts.  I want to be in the black by the end of  the year not teetering on shades of red with a touch of black. 
 
 
 
My son is back in engineering field again. What is a great feeling.
 
Take care everybody!

    1. Thanks Tracy, it has been a true test for sure. He was so down sometimes, I just refused to believe he was out of the game. Today college kids just don't know, it is a different when you cross the stage. This real world is tough and you have to be open and resourceful at all times.

    1. Please tell him to do it. My son was just starting his career in 2008, that's how we ended up in Charlotte. There is not a big demand her but my son has been seeing a lot of jobs now. He has less than two year experience so it been challenging but he kept at it.

  9. Congrats to both of you! I can be quite disappointing to not have a job. He must feel a lot better. No matter what the Republicans say, I do think the economy is turning around!
