Change

Change is good, right?  Hopefully it helps us stretch and grow.  Well, Kyle's job has been one of change (and stretching and growing) the last two+ years.  Here is a very brief summary.  He worked for LCW Wireless, a subsidiary of Cricket Communications since 2008.  In late 2010, it was acquired by Cricket Corporate, and thus began the (shall I say, not-so-good) change.  After about six months, Kyle knew he was eventually going to have to find something else.  In December 2011, he began actively looking for another job.  In April, 2012, he accepted a position with a mobile marketing company doing B2B sales and account management.  But since it was a 100% commission job, we weren't sure how it was going to go.  But, the time was right.  After a couple of months, we realized it wasn't going to work long term, and thus began the job hunt process again in earnest.  This past week, another change: an offer and acceptance with a job with DISH Network as an account manager.  He will start training on August 13th.  He is excited about the new opportunity and feels like he is coming "full circle" since he started out as an Independent Retailer with DISH almost 10 years ago.  Then he did account management for a DISH distributor.  And now, he will work directly with the company. 

So, this job has been a long time in coming, with countless hours in the job hunting process and lots of blood, sweat, and tears, so to speak.  Finding a new job is definitely work.  And emotionally draining.  But Kyle has been diligent in focusing on that end goal.  It has been overwhelming and exhausting at times but it has made us stronger and definitely brought us together as husband and wife.  And so I have to say I am thankful for the process and thankful for change.  I am thankful for how hard he works for our family and look forward to this new job/adventure alongside him!

Congratulations, honey!
