A couple good things have happened over the past few days:
1) Brian got a promotion in his job having worked there for less than a week. He was covering the weekend night shift in the S.O.C (SecurityOperations Center) at Level 3 Communications in Broomfield and has been going through training for that. Well, mid week one of the girls that works in the N.O.C (National Operations Center) said she was not comfortable with the computer system in that position and since Brian has worked on it before they gave him the position. So now he will be handling the national security instead of just local. This position is great because it is a full time position so he will get benefits and more hours not to mention a pay raise. Needless to say we are VERY excited about it. The only bad thing is transportation. We are now faced with having to get another car fast so that we can both get to work. We are still not sure what shift he will be working but regardless we will need another car. For the time being we are going to get insurance on Dad’s truck and I will drive it. I am not at all looking forward to this as it is a beast and will guzzle gas like no other but right now it seems to be the only option. I am hopeful Brian will be able to save enough money for a new car quickly because I miss my car and I HATE the truck.
2) I got an excited call from Mom last night saying that her and Dad were approved for the loan on their new house and that their offer has been accepted. So very soon they will be in their own house in TX. While I miss them and wish they were closer I am happy for their good fortune and praise God for his blessings.
So all and all things are looking up. Unfortunately I find myself pessimistic and waiting for the next thing that will go wrong or complicate things. I know this is bad and that I shouldn’t have this attitude but I can’t help it. It seems that for the longest time when ever things start to come together and run smoothly something else is either thrown into the mix or goes wrong. I pray this will not happen this time but I am not ready to let my guard down just yet.
