Happier things!

As most of you who may have read any of my blog over the last year know that i have been going to Weight Watchers. A few weeks ago was one year but just this week I got to a big goal. This is not my final goal but it was a major one that I wanted to get too. This week I was down 2.6 pounds which put my total at 76.8 pounds. I wanted to get to 75 pounds and I finally did it. I still have 31.2 pounds to get to my goal but I was very excited to reach this goal. It has been a long hard year at times but I am so much happier with how I look and how I feel. As soon as I can I will post a new picture. Recently the lady who lead the Monday night meeting that I attend had to take a leave of absence because of traveling for her main job. We've had a new lady leading the group who just does not do a very good job. I've had several of the people who I have met while attending the meeting tell me that they would love it if I was the leader. I have to reach my goal first but it is something that I have really been thinking about. It would be extra income, but I would love to be able to help others with their weight loss journey.

On another note Justin has received a job offer from the franchise owner of a couple of Donatos in the area. Just pray for guidance as he looks into this and explores a few other things.

I should be scared

I should be scared about the fact that Justin lost his job on Monday. I should be scared that he has no income at this moment. I should be, but the crazy thing is I'm not. Justin has hated his job for so long and has hated working for Donatos for so long that I feel his getting fired was a blessing. There are a lot of extenuating reasons as to why he was fired. There is the one main reason but then there are other things that we figure made this a great reason to let him go. He has filed for unemployment but we don't know yet if he will qualify. He has sent his resume out to several places and is actively looking for a new job. There is one possibility which is with Donatos but on the franchise side and not corporate. The guy who owns several of the franchise Donatos in the area has called Justin and wants to talk with him and see what he can do for him. Justin likes Don and he would be doing something that he already knows, but he isn't sure that is what he wants to do. I am trying really hard not to push him into anything. I just keep praying that the right door will be opened as he sends out his resume and all that God will guide us as to what to do. We need a lot of prayers as we go through this time and all the changes that may come with this.
