New Job

Well yesterday was the end of a part-time job and the beginning of a full time job for me. Yesterday I lost my job at Synovus Mortgage of 13 years due to the elimation of my position. So I've gone from part-time Underwriting Coordiator - part-mother to full time Stay at Home mom and wife. It was some of a shock. Synovus was a great company to work for and I learned alot, meet alot of new people and made a lot of new friends that I call family now. It was a sad day but it is what it is and I will take it as experience and move on. I don't know what lies ahead for me but I know the Lord will open up another door now that that one has closed. Jer. 29:11. Phil 4:13 - two scriptures to keep me motiviated. I will miss my SMC family. I know this could be a blessing in disguise. Don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to be a stay at home mother but since I've been working part-time I believe that works better for me. I'm just not a stay at home type of a person - I get to bored. But I'm am so thankful for my wonderful husband to be the sole provider and support me in wanting to work part-time. I told him I would go back full time if he wanted me to but he just wants me to work part-time. But I"m going to take a break for a few months and draw my unemployment and speed that precious time with my baby girl. Thanks to everyone who has said a prayer for me the last few days and please continue to keep us in your prayers. I know we are going to be fine but it scares me financially.

Projects I've got for the next few weeks:

Continue to read and study my bible daily and draw closer to God

Get Caylee-Grace fully potty trained

Get Caylee-Grace to sleep all night in her bed AGAIN

Do deep cleaning in the house and get some much needed organization to it

This is just a start. I'm going to do some research on some stay at home jobs and try to decide what I want to do.

On another note, I'm doing really well on my diet. I got back in the exercise mode the first week, then I got sick so I haven't exercised in about a week now but I've lost 4.8 pounds since 1/3/10 and I haven't had any sweet tea or junk food since then either. I'm feeling alot healthier and want to stay that way.

We were going to go to Gatlinburg Feb 2-5 for our anniversary but since I lost my job, we have decided to cancel and just get grandparents to keep CG and go on a date night. Suits me. Just being with Randal is enough. He is such a wonderful Christian man, and I so thankful to have him in my life to be my husband and such a great father to our baby girl.
