GUESS WHAT?!?!

I GET TO GRADUATE SCHOOL!

Orientation was so much fun yesterday. I don’t even feel like I won’t know my way around. (The campus isn’t that crazy!) But I met again with my adviser and he finally gave me the answer I needed to know that would verify that I can graduate in the spring.   So, this is the first time I have felt secure about school here.  Its nice not to worry and think about all the mistakes I made as far as what classes I did take and how long I have been waiting.  But like everything in life there is always a catch…

I started this blog yesterday before I went home and talked with Ryan about the new “rumors” at work.  And since I heard them I feel I can spread them.  We don’t ever worry when we hear stuff like this though b/c you never know.  I will get to the point!

Supposedly though they are laying off several people in Ryan’s department and only keeping 5.  I think there is like 15-20 people but not sure.  Anyway, it would be unlikely that he would be one of the 5 to stay.  And we heard it will be within 3 months.  There are a few options they are giving.  1) You get a two month severance package and leave right away, 2)  You volunteer to leave in 6 months, get no severance…I think that is all the options probably.  Anyway, this doesn’t sound very fun…

And this brings me to the whole point of this blog.  On the SAME day that I am totally comforted about school, we find out Ry might lose his job.  It wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t for school, we could move anywhere another job was, but now I don’t even know if I could go to BYU or anywhere else.  And I feel like I have been patient.  But it is unlikely that Ry could find just as good a job here.  He will take a major pay cut that could later effect his chance of going to Business school. And I don’t want to be selfish, even though I feel like we should stay in Boise no matter what.  Anyway, I am not worried or sad over this; I just find it amusing that there is opposition in ALL that we do.  Such a profound doctrine that I forget about until it causes changes in major life decisions.  I know I am preaching to the choir but it just still astonishes me how it never lets up…

Is work over yet?  Is it 6:00…today is hard for some reason…I want to go home…
