Today, Matthew started his full time position at Bass Pro. He's working in their warehouse Monday through Friday. It's a guaranteed forty hours, and we're super excited about it. He will still be keeping his job at Gordmans and will just switch from stock room to the Home department. So some nights of the week he will be working there as well.
Today, I put in my two weeks at Thompson's. It was a hard decision at first, but I feel so relieved now that it's over. I have accepted a position at BYO Pizza, which is a new pizza place here in Springfield. It is only as a crew member, but there is a chance of being put up into management. At first I felt like this is a step down from where I'm at (I mean, I'm taking a pay cut), but the more I look at it, the more I see opportunity.
It's been a while since I've been in the food business, and I'm excited to get back into it, surprisingly. Pizza isn't something I've ever thought about doing, and I'm stoked to see what it's like. I also see opportunity because there is a chance to move up into management. I'm going to work hard to try and obtain that position. Here at Thompson's, I have no opportunity of moving upward. I'm stagnant and I hate it. It's time for a change, and I'm more than thankful that God put this opportunity in my path.
Also, since we're talking about change, Matthew got a ship date, finally. He's scheduled to be shipped out on March 4th. In case you're wondering, that's 140 days away. His job will be an airborne linguist. We weren't fully expecting that job, so we have a lot of details to work through. No matter what happens though, we know that God is in control and will put us exactly where we need to be.
There's a lot of other change that is going to be happening in our lives, and when it is official and stuff, I can't wait to let you all know! Change is good and change is fun. Praise be to God for opening all these doors for Matthew and I.
