Military Brides

Well, I did it.

I talked to my manager yesterday and told him I was leaving.  Background:  After interning with this company last summer, I worked for them part time while finishing school and accepted a kick@ss full time job for after graduation.  Well, military life happened, and H is headed to a base this summer that is nowhere near one of our other offices.

Anyways, they reacted in the best way possible.  They are very sad to be losing me, but knew that this could happen given our situation.  There's no way that I can stay with the company and live wtih H, but they told me I should stay in touch with them over the next few years in case he gets moved to a location near one of their offices, or if we end up back in our hometown.  That made me feel really good, but it also made me sad to be leaving such great people.  And they are basically letting me work as much as I want until we move.  This is something I've been stressed out about for soooo long, so it's nice to have gotten it off my chest.  It did bum me out though because it suddently became very real that I have to find a new job!  But I'm also super excited to be living with DH!  I've got all kinds of emotions goin' on =)

Okay, I just needed to share that with someone haha!  Any fun plans for the weekend?  My brother comes home from his study abroad so I get some quality family time this weekend!

  • I'm glad they reacted well to you leaving. It's my mom's birthday tonight so we're going to hang out when I'm done with work at 7. Tomorrow is my birthday so we're having a fire. We're having a picnic for lunch on Sunday for mother's day. My weekend off is really busy.

    Oh how nice! My company has been really good to me too. Sadly my most recent conversation went the opposite way "Oh yes, he is still going on the boat.....I  will not be leaving..." They were excited, I not so much. But...hey... in a way it is good right?

    H said he would be able to call this weekend, I guess they will be close to shore... I am pretty excited about that! But he told me this weekend... and then gave me Monday's date. I really hope it isn't Monday because he always calls in the middle of the night...and work nights, well that isn'tfun. I have a busy weekend of Birthday Parties, and graduation parties... and cleaning my apartment....YUCK! There was a groupon for 2 hour house cleaning for 70% off...I was really tempted to buy it... but I thought that would be mean. Because I am cleaning my apartment to leave it, and cleaning more than I normally do.

  • Irh-  I will be in your shoes in just a short time.  I have very mixed emotions about it because I love my job and the people I work with.  That is great there was such a good reaction. 

    This weekend I am spending with my mom.  We are going to hang out and just have fun.
