And it keeps coming...

Life sucks. Totally sucks.

Hubby works full-time for a contracting company that supplies workers for the state government. A co-worker told DH yesterday that their company lost their contract. We got the official word this morning. The contract ends Feb. 28.

So now hubby has to negotiate with the other contracting companies to see if he still has a job and if he can get paid, benefits, etc. Obviously he's not in a good place to negotiate, and we know that in the past many people have had to take large (5-figure) pay cuts to keep their jobs.

I want to cry. I really, really do.

Actually I want to move to be near by family. I've wanted to for a while, and I'm trying to convince DH that maybe now is the time to make the move.

I'm sorry you're going through this. My husband lost his job over a year ago. We lost our house. We moved away from my family but closer to his family. This has been the most difficult year of my life. But it is not all bad. It has given us the chance to move somewhere we really love. It has brought us closer together. We've had lots of quality time together as a family. There is a silver lining to this dark cloud.

You will get through this.

How distressing for you and your family. I hope it goes better than you are expecting right now. It's tough all over these days, so although it's not a comfort to know, but you are not alone in this uncertainty.

best of luck to you and yours

it does make for a good time to transition.

Wow I literally could have written this post word for word. I do have to say though, that while I'd certainly change many things of the past year, I LOVE that we moved. I love our new to me area, the people, everything about it. No, we didn't get here the way I would have preferred, but I'm glad we moved when we had the chance. ((Hugs)) Things do work out somehow.

Oh BrandiRhoades, I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through such a rough time right now. It does sound like a good time for you and your family to re-locate.
