Good morning everyone!
Today is most definitely a sunshine and lollipops post kind of day!
What's new with us:
First and most important and exciting! Mr. M got a job! Yes!
M is currently working towards his eCommerce degree and wanted to get his foot in the door with a local credit union which is one of the top seventy-five employers... (in Canada I believe). This place has excellent benefits and employee lending/banking programs, so M applied for a base position and went in for a group interview. However upon much thought and consideration, we knew that without him getting a second job this position wasn't going to be ideal. Upon entering his second interview he made it clear to the HR woman that in order to make ends meet and pay his mortgage he would have to get a second job and wasn't entirely sure that he could make it work as it was listed as a part time hour job. She explained most people applying for this position only wanted part time hours but the full time hours are available if he would like them, and he could certainly come in Saturday's for extra shifts. Michael left the interview feeling really good; she called several hours later offering him a position above what he applied for as well as a higher salary.
YAY!!
One of the benefits of this employer is that they will pay for your schooling (providing you pass and agree to stay on with them for a year); this is excellent seeing as we are debating getting a student loan for his next year right now.
M still is currently on WCB, but those benefits will cut off as soon as he starts his job, he's very excited (as am I) to finally cut ties with them. He starts mid-June.
Ahhh - sigh of relief. I absolutely cannot wait for this next chapter of our life to begin. M finally gets to start moving on again. He cannot wait to be back to work and providing for us again that doesn't involve staying at home, physiotherapy or psychologist appointments.
I'm actually pretty happy today too because he's been gone fishing for a week now up North so I will be a very happy camper tonight!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
