John's Job!

YAY! John got a new job! It’s still not what he wants to be doing, BUT it will be a great resume builder! He will be working for a place called Creative Caterers. It’s still under the same company he was working for before. He will be managing a kitchen. The kitchen provides lunches to the Miami-Dade County schools and daycares. WOW right?! That’s a LOT of meals and a A LOT of schools! It would freak me out to be in charge of all those meals, but of course John knows he can handle it! He will also be supervising the kitchen staff and will be in charge of ordering all the supplies for the food. Apparently, if the food isn’t a certain temperature when it reaches the schools, the company doesn’t get paid for the meal- I think that’s what scares me the most- TOO much pressure for me. Haha : D Anyway, the supervision piece will be great on a resume! :D I am so proud of him :D

The job also pays much better and has better hours. He will be working from 5am-1pm M-F. It’s not super because he’s not a morning person, BUT he wont have to work Saturdays anymore and will be full time, so we are counting our blessings! Since it pays more, we will finally be able to start paying down my loans more quickly. We have also planned to set some of it aside for a down payment for a house and for another car. The house wont come until we move back home, but the car will probably be sooner. His work isn’t far, but our car still chugs gas quickly. We have to do the math and figure out when it would be best to buy another one (would it be best to save up and just buy it out right OR would it make sense to have a car payment?- one way we are using a LOT of gas, the other way we have to pay interest- you can see the dilemma).

Anyway, it may not be something he loves, but until he finds something he really wants to do- this is a great opportunity :D

Our schedules are totally going to shift now though! Since he will have to leave at like 4 something in the morning, I am going to start making my hours earlier too. I am going to try to get up around 6, walk Carter, work out, and come into work by 8. That way I can get off earlier and actually spend time with John and be on similar schedules! I am very excited about that :D I am not excited about being up so early, but to be on the same schedule with him will be worth it :D

Anyway, YAY for new opportunities :D
