There’s something to be said for stability.
Hubs and I haven’t had much of that at all in the six months we’ve been hitched. And just when we thought we had stability on it’s way? The rug got pulled from under us. Luckily that rug comes with a month’s severance and a boss willing to help him find the next thing.
This all happens the day after I’m unofficially offered a position (i got the offer letter yesterday), so for 24 hours we had the joy of knowing we’d be a 2 income household again. Stability! Wait…no.
There’s something to be said for having a monthly budget, no uncertainty, knowing you’ll be able to pay all of your bills in a given month, I miss that stability. I miss the fun aspects – knowing I could go up to Boston to see my best pals if I wanted to, being able to go shopping on a monthly basis because I can. I miss that.
I lost my job a year ago Friday. I worked hard, I worked two jobs, I gave my “career” my all and thought it was the right thing for me. It wasn’t. Turns out it wasn’t what I wanted or what was best for me. I reevaluated my goals, I reevaluated what will make me happy, I’m incredibly excited for my new job (officially announced yesterday on facebook!), even if it means putting my goals of teaching on hold. Sometimes, you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do.
It’ll be nice working in a positive environment that focus’s on goal setting, that’s nurturing and encouraging of accomplishing those goals. It’ll be fun working with people who have the same interests in me, people who inspire every day.
Despite the lack of stability, I know, I have faith, that things will get better. Everything happens for a reason, and one day, Hubs and I will have that stability again that I yearn for.
