Life has been kicking us lately.
Sky's "on-the-side" income dropped like to nothing out of no where, right when we needed that "extra" money the most.
It seemed like the bills were piling, up. Wait they were. They were piling up, way over our heads.
$2000 here. Another $300 there.
Oh then Sky's student loan payments popped up. Great. That's another $500.
I tried doing day care, first it was the "demon child" that didn't work out. Then it was Eli, and his dad broke his hand so that took away gym time which took by day care from me. It happens.
Sky works 74 miles (one way) away from home. He drives 148 miles a day.
You don't even want to know how much we pay in gas a month, just for his car.
Okay, to make my point, it's AT LEAST $400, a month.
Oh and his "great job with potential to move up" was a load of... well ya know.
He was stuck.
We were stuck.
What in the heck do we do?!
There was no way we could survive another month or two. We filed our taxes ASAP so we could get that money and hopefully survive a little longer.
Sky constantly looks for jobs closer to us. He's interviewed at a few places. All of those places wasted his time. Their ads said they would pay what he need but that was a load too.
Just when we decided to start looking out of state, he got a call. This job would be 29 miles away from home. He could take the train to work.
He got an interview.
When he got home, he exchanged emails back and forth between the owner, and the guy he would work with. He got another call today.
They want him. They are going to write up an offer and send it to him in the next couple days.
They know what he wants. They can afford it. Now it just comes to the chase. What can they offer. Why should we choose them?
Well DUH, we will choose them, anything they can offer is better than his current place.
We're going to survive.
It's moments like this, that I know someone somewhere is looking out for me.

That's wonderful news! It's so hard when it feel liked everything is crashing down like this. finances can be such a burden. I hope the new job works out, and it's more than you all could have asked for or imagined. (Epheshians 3:20)Stopping by from Shell's PYHO.
YAY! For surviving. For hope. For new opportunities!
Been there done that my friend! I hope it all works out for you! :)
I hope he gets it!
That is so awesome! I am constantly amazed when the right doors open as we reach the end of what we can do. Did I just mix metaphors? Eh, who cares! This is great news!
Crossing everything crossable that this works out for you both!!
