New Information

On Sunday Justin took the morning off of work and we decided to go to the Christmas Music and Spoken Word since we had 2 tickets. My neighbor took our kids to church (thanks Sarah!) and off we went. I was having a very emotional week and still really struggling with my emotions and they were pretty high on our drive out to SLC. Of course Justin and I started talking about how grumpy I am all the time and how hard it is for him to go to work all day and then come home to a frustrated wife and I told him it's hard when he is just working on another proposal that they probably won't win, again.

He then told me that the proposal that they are working on is for all of the main jobs at his company here in Clearfield which I had no idea about. I never really know what the proposals are for but I have told many of you that his job will probably be in jeopardy at the end of 2012 with Northrop Grumman in Clearfield getting split up and very few jobs left. He told me that they are now going to fight for their jobs and have a good chance at winning which will extend the contract for another 8 years. I seriously had no idea! Here I am whining about him working when he is working his butt off to save his job, his new job which will start when this proposal is done, his brother's job and probably around 300 other people's jobs.

Well, I have to admit that the day still wasn't perfect and I was on the verge of tears all day but I am feeling much better now. Monday I decided to take on a new approach and really try and handle things better and I even made him and his coworkers candy which he loves.

It's amazing when you find out new information how it can change your outlook. This is still going to be hard, but we will figure it out somehow. He now has Friday off and we are going to go to the temple and then let the holiday parties begin. Anyway, I am glad to have this new information, I feel a lot better.
