When it rains, it pours but sometimes its really not that bad

We all have trials in our lives. Some may be extremely difficult. Others might not seem that hard and you get through them. Its amazing as to what we see as trials, and to others they think differently.

Well I've had two trials this week. My first one happened Tuesday morning. I got laid off from my job. But I feel proud of myself, I did not cry when they told me that they were downsizing the company, and fortunately there was no good way to say it, but they had to let me go. They were very nice, and so helpful. The VIP said that if I needed any help looking for jobs or needed recommendations just to ask him. I thought that was pretty amazing. They also offered Severance pay for a month, so that will also help out. It does suck because I really did have such a great job. But maybe this will open doors for other opportunities. Maybe I'll find something that I'll enjoy so much more? Who knows. Ok I do need to admit that I did cry when I got home and called my mom, but it was  a good little cry that needed to happen. But after that I felt comfort, and I do not feel worried at all and I'm not mad that I've been let go. Maybe thats a good thing or maybe I'm still in shock?

Thing that was hardest for me was finding out later that day, that my uncle had been in a terrible accident in Dilan, MT and was at the Missoula hospital on life support. Fortunately enough, I had family in Missoula who I asked if she could help my family. Thanks to Jen, she made sure that my uncle had some one with him at all possible times and then amazingly was able to have some of my family members who traveled up, to stay at their in law's 5th wheeler. Thank you so much Jen, you made what could have been a hard and horrible experience for my family, into a wonderful and positive experience. We are so appreciative and grateful to have you in our lives. Thank you so very much. My uncle is now doing fine and will be flying to the Boise hospital for further help and so he is close to his wife and two kids.

Through all of this, I've been pretty ok. Was more difficult hearing about my uncle, and even more hard was that we couldn't make it to Missoula to see him and more family, we decided to turn around when we arrived to Idaho Falls, because we realized we'd be spending more money than we really should be doing at this time, with me not having a job and all. I so very wish I could be around family. But I have an amazing husband who has stuck to my side and has been there for me through all of this. He's even taken off the rest of the week for me. So we wont be going onto our planned trip to Zion's Canyon. that sucks because we were so looking forward to it! But we need to be more wise with our money for now, until we find a job for me :o)
