Great news...

Well I got the word about the job and I GOT IT!!! I'm so excited you have no idea. I didn't get to talk to the HR lady who left a message and told me that I got the offer. I have to wait until tomorrow to talk to her and find out about the pay and when I start. I am hoping I won't start until either the week of July 11th or the 18th. I will be on vacation the 2nd to the 6th so this has came at a good time. I think I will put my two weeks in next Monday so my last day will be the 24th and I can have the last week in June to do what I want without worrying about work. I'm just glad after my vacation I won't have to go back to this job because I'm sure I would come back to a mess being gone for a week. I'm just glad to get away from that place. I can officially say that I am retiring from my department after 6 1/2 years and now I get to do a job where it will be the start of my future career. I'm so glad I won't have to work weekends anymore. It's just a happy time for me. I also got a call about a job interview for a front office job that sounded like a good opportunity but after that message was the message about getting this job so looks like I don't have to call back to schedule that interview. The crazy thing is I had just applied to this job two weeks ago today. So in two weeks, I applied, scheduled an interview, had my interview and two days later I was offered the job. That has never happened to me before. I have had 4 calls for an interview in the past month that has never happened to me before either. I hope this is the beginning of good things to come for me. I think once I start my new job my focus will be on figuring out where me and my kids are going to be living once the lease to this apartment is up. I am ready to get my own place finally and hopefully I will be able to do it. I paid off all but one of the collections I had on my credit report so I hope my credit score will eventually start going up I just don't know how long that will take. I just don't know where I am going to go. Am I going to rent a house, buy a house or just find an apartment to go to? I wish I knew what I am going to do but I will start to figure it out next month and have it figured out before we have to start getting ready to move. I hope I will be able to make a little more than what I am making for my new job then I can figure out what my budget is if I have to rent. If I can buy a house, I would like to try and get a foreclosure. I see that there are some decent houses that are being sold for cheap. I would like to find something that is in decent shape and fix it up as I go. I honestly would not want to go to an apartment because I would like for my kids to have a yard to play in and somewhere they can ride bikes. All I can do is hope and pray for the best and that everything works out the way I want it.
