"Yesterday" I received some very good news...
I would get to keep my job!
Well, it's a new job, but it's exactly the same.
We found out not too long ago that our contract with our company was up and that the Navy did not plan on renewing it. They told Julie, Jeff, and I that they were making our positions Government Service positions and that we would have to apply for them...
How awful. What a feeling. In an economy where jobs are disappearing left and right to be told that your job, that you've had for quite some time and loved was now up for grabs to any qualified individual.
I've really been stressing about this the past few months. Prepping myself to be unemployed as my confidence levels were at their lowest. Sure I would love to be a stay-at-home mom (I was one until my boys started school and still managed to contract in Hawaii), but for me this job is more than just a money maker. I truly enjoy supporting the Navy. I love the people I work with and the feeling that I am really a part of a mission. This job has been a great tool for me to be able to make friends here in Texas. I really needed that more than anything.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I am so thankful to have been selected along with Jeff and Julie to stay in our positions now as Navy Civilians. It's a huge relief. It lets me know that the work that I have done has been appreciated. God was really there for me us on this one.

Congrats! So excited to hear the good news. (Sorry I am a little behind on my blog reading) :)
That is so good to hear. This unemployment pattern is getting crazy. I really hope things start to stabilize soon. It is scary for so many people to have to worry about if and when they may lose their job.
