Married Without Children

Hubs just started a new job.  I am so proud.  For most of his life he was a driver.  He moved onto a cover driver position which was better pay and more hours.  My poor hubs was making pretty nice money but super busy and stressed.  After the cover driver position he moved into furniture.  He got a pay increase and the hours were much much better.  I really think he enjoyed the job.  Then came an unfortunate day….  Hubs lost his job.  He lost his job with a company which he worked for 7 years.

It was devastating for us.  Mainly because 2 weeks later I got my layoff notice.  The following 13 months would be some of the most difficult in our lives

During that time my Hubs and I had to make some decisions.  Hubs was going nowhere in his job search.  I could tell he was irritated and sad.  Then I kept hearing and advertisement for computer training classes.  They were developed to help you get your Microsoft Certifications.  Hubs is a computer geek genius.  Microsoft Certified computer smarty type people are really in demand.  So he took a chance.  He signed up for the classes, he’s finishing up the tests, and now he has a job that will lead to a successful future.  There has been some sacrifice, but we know that this career path can go in so many directions.

It’s all because he took a chance.

The biggest risk often reaps the greatest reward.  Sometimes investing in yourself will lead to a more prosperous future.  Think about your future- don’t focus on only immediate gratification.  Right now we are in the process of creating a secure future.
