Another new job!

So back in October I wrote this post HERE cause everything seemed to be going wrong. Everything had been going so good and then everything changed. Well the day after I posted that I went to work and at lunch the pulled me into a room and told me I was being laid off. They laid off one other girl and explained it was nothing personal but it was just so slow they couldn't afford to have us all there. They told me if they  had days that were busier and once they got full time busy they would call me back. After that I waited all till Hunter got home from work and school to tell him. It was so hard keeping it from him when we had already had a rough couple days and this just made it 1,000 times worse. It was so hard cause They had already docked my pay to $8 dollars cause they couldn't afford to pay me more so I felt like I wasn't worth anything and wasn't appreciated. I had spent a year and half after Dental assisting school to find a job and finally got one and accepted it and a week later had 3 offers that I turned down cause at the time I was getting 40 hours a week and getting paid well. After turning the other offers down I just wished I could have gone back and accepted one cause it was so perfect. After everyone found out I was laid off we went and spoke with grams and she told me over and over don't worry about it, you will get another chance at that job. You'll get another chance.

So I started at hunter's work again ((hardest thing going from something you love back to a call center)) and began applying for jobs all day long. I was able to get SO many interviews but of course with my luck this... always happens.

I had a couple GREAT interviews at a few different places and they loved me! I even had one that I worked for 4 days as interviewing and they said I would for sure have the job. Only to call me a month later and say they hired someone else. Another interview I had they offered me the job on the spot and told me how much they would pay me, when I would start and different areas of training they would like to do. After leaving I called hunter and told him and he was excited but I told him not to get his or my hopes up cause I've had the same thing happen multiple times. She was suppose to call me Monday to finalized everything but never did. So I called Tuesday and she said she'd call me Friday and never did so I called Monday and she told me she'd call me back but never did. This went on for 2 weeks and I just stopped. I was so frustrated! Why would they tell me how much they'd pay me and train me on and when I started and then never talk to me again?

The day after Grams funeral I saw an add for an office in Lehi that I had interviewed for before and offered the job there but turned it down since I already worked at TMJ Therapy. I immediately applied and a few days later went in for an interview. Luckily they remembered me and told me how much they loved me and were SO glad I came back. They didn't even ask me any interview questions, they just told me to come back the following Monday for a working interview. After the working interview they offered me a job on the spot and said how they just felt like I was meant to be there for some reason. I know for a fact that Grams had something to do with me getting this job. She always told me I'd get another  chance for the job at this office and then they even told me they felt like I was meant to be there for some reason. It was too good to be true!!

I started the job a week and a half later and have been there 4 months now and I absolutely love it!! I love everything about it and am so grateful to have a job that I look forward to going to everyday!

Grams

On December 20th we got a call from Hunter's mom saying that Grams (Hunter's Grandma ) cancer came back and it was spread everywhere; lungs, brain, blood, everything. We were devastated. I had work off until the first of the year and Hunter took a day off so we could spend her last few days with her. We spent everyday from early in the morning till past midnight staying, visiting with family and holding grams hand and speaking with her and we never knew if it would be the last time. The day before Christmas eve we spoke with her for a minute and they brought our nephew carter in and then she fell asleep. After that she didn't wake up and we just waited for 2 days and watched her breath while sitting on the edge of our seats. On December 23rd Hunter and I didn't want to leave but decided to go home and shower and get up early to be at the house early... those plans changed when Hunter's mom called us at 4:30 in the morning on Christmas Eve. Hunter got up and drove to the house to say goodbye one last time and I stayed home and just cried. But its amazing how everyday up until the funeral I've never felt so calm and so at peace about everything. It felt like I was sitting in the celestial room in the temple every day and felt like grams was hugging me all day long. Christmas Eve my parents took us to a movie and out to eat to get our minds off of everything and then the Funeral wasn't Until January 2. (read her obituary HERE)

 

The funeral was amazing. We had the viewing the night before the funeral and it was amazing to see how many lives grams had touched. Especially all the flowers different friends sent her. My favorite was the flowers from BYU which is where she worked for many years. The day of the funeral Hunters dad spoke and told so many great stories I had never heard and Hunter spoke along with his sisters Nicole and Hailey. It was a rough day but I was glad to have it over so we could all heal as a family. I miss Grams more than anything. I am so grateful I was able to get so close with her from the moment that Hunter and I met. We went over there every Monday night and she would cook us dinner or we would take her dinner and we would watch the bachelor. There were a lot of weeks where we went over every single day to help her set up her Ipad and teach her how to play angry birds. She LOVED thai food so we went to thai drift and she loved it. We were always hoping she could go with us one last time. But the last year of her life the most she ate was jello or water. I miss her so much but I can't wait to be with her again one day!!

 I love you grams.
