New Beginning

It has been since a crazy last few weeks for us I don't know where to start. I guess all the craziness began 2 weeks ago I would have to say when we found out the Brandon's company was relocating to California. When we heard this news it was a shocker because we never thought that MOA (Mentoring of America) would ever leave Utah. I started to panic because we are heading into the holiday and my husband was out of a job what are we going to do? Brandon's plan was to go out to California and talk to the owner and see what kind of deal they can give Brandon. We would move to California only if the owners would pay for moving expense and give Brandon some kind of living allowance in order for him to pay rent in California plus we would still have our home and our bills in Utah. He would go to California for a month while I stayed here and have the girls finish up school until Christmas Break. I wasn't to thrilled about California cause it's soo far from family but was willing to do whatever my husband thought would be best for us. Plus I would totally love to leave Utah weather and enjoy some of California's weather. Brandon was told that the last day of MOA would be the end of November so he started networking trying to find other jobs here in Utah if the deal in California would not go. Meanwhile, I would have moments of panicking and bawling my eyes out (it's only natural),but I knew that everything would be ok. I would call up my friend, whose husband works with my husband and they live in our neighborhood, and we would just cry to one another. Our friends have dealt with this same situation a year ago this same time so she was happy someone else was going through this same situation with her. It did help because instead of stressing our husbands out we would cry to one another. The California thing didn't happen but that's ok cause Brandon ended up talking to different companies and by the time the week of Thanksgiving came he had 3 companies he had to choose from. We were set on going with this one that all of his friends from work had gone to but then a company called him up and offered him a good offer. Then on Tuesday morning (the day we were heading up North for Thanksgiving) he gets another call from a different company wanting to meet with him and giving him a great offer as well. In the end he decided to go with the first company that called him up and he starts tomorrow. We feel really good about this decision and I truly believe that this whole situation was a blessing. He has work for MOA for such a long time and work his way up but now he will work in Draper and he will prove to this new company what he is all about. I really do appreciate everyone that has called us to see how we are doing and everyone's concerns about us it's been truly amazing. I do think that in the end people that have been honest and true will be surely blessed. This will sure make me appreciate how much my husband puts into providing for us and how hard he will fight in order for us to have the things we have and to have a good Christmas. It was really hard for me to tell the girls why we had to pull them out of Cheer but they understood and I told them it will just be a little break. I hope that my kids will be grateful for the things they have and things they get to do. I also hope that they will be grateful for their dad and how hard he works for us. Happy Holidays everyone!
