When one door closes, the next one opens...

I know it has a been awhile since I wrote last. What a rollercoaster I have been on! Just last week, I went from being REALLY REALLY high one day to REALLY REALLY low the next. I did a lot of crying, but I took care of it. If it wasn't for a lot of great friends (and wonderful family to talk to), it would've been a lot harder!

I did get a great experience that I never thought would come... I got a promotion at my job!! The best thing is that the door just opened up for me, I just took the opportunity when it was given. I walked into work one day and got an interview for Customer Service (no, I will not be on the phones). I am really really excited about it. It didn't take them long to make the decision and I started some training today and I will officially start next Monday. I don't think it could've come at a better time in my life. I look back at everything and I really needed this. I have been at this company for 2 1/2 years, and I really needed this. It was hard to accept the position because I am so comfortable in Data Entry but I really needed to move on. I am so grateful for being given the chance to do this.

With the low I had, it was probably the lowest low I've had in a really long time. I got some pretty harsh news that I wasn't expecting and it really took me by surprise. I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I have that helped me get through that. I am also SOO grateful for my family for being there for me. I got the news at work, as soon as I got off work I called my mom and I just cried to her. She helped me realize that I deserve so much better. I also talked to Nancy and she helped me out a lot. She knows how I feel about somethings and how hard it is to have to go through what did and what I still go through. I did realize that my friends and family will always be there for me no matter what. They are my strength when I need them.

I know I don't tell them enough but I am soo thankful for everything that my friends and family do for me. This past week, I really depended on them for so much! I have the best friends/family anyone could ever ask for! :)

I hope that you know that because I haven't kept up to date on this, isn't because I don't mean to.. I really had to deal with a lot last week. If I could express what that rollercoaster was I would. Some people just won't understand. I know if some knew what it was, their response would be "get over it" or "move on" but for me, it's not that easy. It just takes time (and sometimes a lot of crying)

Rollercoaster of Life

What a week of emotion! I am not going to get into details about it because everyone that needs to know already knows. But I have learned a lot! I have learned that I am not going to be a doormat to step on anymore and that is EXACTLY how I feel at the moment and I know that is not how it was meant to make me feel. I was put under a lot of stress and it caused me to have my bad migraines again and it took MANY days to get rid of it. I know that all the crying didn't help any! :) I just don't need anymore stressers in my life!

I am SOO glad that my lil buddy Maxwell is doing better! He was taken into surgery yesterday. That little stinker decided that money goes into his belly and he swallowed a quarter. The quarter got stuck in his throat and stopped his breathing. My brave sister-in-law ended up having to call the ambulance to come and he had to go to surgery to remove the quarter. This will be a trip to Connecticut that they will never forget! :) Dr. Barrett was still in Missouri because he was working, so his daddy was not able to be there. But there were a lot of prayers being said for Maxwell by his family! We love you Maxwell and we are so glad you are doing better and we are so glad that you have a fast acting Mommy that knew what to do! You surely are a daddy's boy! :)

Well, I better get back to work!
