Congratulations to Reed!

This is wonderful news

This is the week of WONDERFUL NEWS!!! Please pass along to Reed that we are so very happy for him!

(My DH got a new job in his field this week too and he started yesterday!)

Paula,

That is terrific news about Ken's new job! I'm so happy for him and for you too. Please tell him congratulations from Tim and I. What a wonderful week this has been for everyone looking for jobs. I'm so glad. After a couple of weeks of wicked weather, we needed something happy to cheer about!

Dawn

Prayers answered! Great news on two fronts.

YAY!!! I was just thinking about Reed that I hadn't seen any updates from him. Glad to hear all is well. I look forward to him getting on and letting us catch up

Thank you guys for all of your support and prayers. I was fortunate to receive a management position with Family Dollar Corporation. To sum it up, the benefits and pay are substantially better and the opportunity for advancement is much higher. I am so excited I may not sleep tonight. Thank you all so much. As I am using my phone I won't be posting much but I just wanted to thank everyone.

Reed - sounds like you've deserving earned a position with a solid company. Great news!!! My DH's is a similar thing. LIke Dawn said - after all Oklahoma has experienced in the last several weeks....we ALL need some good news.

And on top of all this, ya wanna hear some really funny stuff? We had to have our roof replaced after the Shawnee/Bethel Acres storm. We had really LARGE hail. We found a great roofing company that did a superb job and their guarantee was better than all the rest. They included a bid for our guttering...which we told them we had to delay due to other repairs needed that weren't storm related. All this happened this week but there were some breaks in communication because as of Friday nite - we discovered we had new guttering on both sides of our BARN/GARAGE!!!!! Not what was bid or what we asked for but it's there. Our roofer told us to enjoy the free guttering.

And then we went to Sam's yesterday. Hubby dropped me off at the door and then went to park. Shortly, he called me on the cell to ask if I wanted a FREE tropical hibiscus. Duh? Yes! Well, we ended up with 2....and all they needed was some water and a pot big enough to let their roots spread. One even opened a bloom today!

So this week, DH got a new job...we got new, FREE guttering on our garage...and we scored 2 free pretty hibiscus. Is this a great State or what?

Paula

Reed, Once again, congratulations! We are so happy for you and Tim wanted me to be sure to tell you congratulations from him too. I hope you can sleep tonight because you'll be a busy man tomorrow.

Paula, Woo hoo! After all that you and your extended family went through with both the Norman-to-Shawnee severe thunderstorms and tornado, and then the Moore tornado a few days later, y'all deserve to have some happy surprises too, you know. With the luck y'all are having this past week, maybe you ought to buy a lottery ticket or two.

The sunshine always follows the rain, you know, and we see that happening with all the good news lately. Our gray skies are sunny again....literally and figuratively.

Dawn

Thank you guys for all your prayers and well wishes. I won't say much about the new job other than the fact that the pay and benefits are significantly better than my previous job and I will be serving at my own boss in a management position in a national company. Thank you guys so much for all your concerns and thoughts. It was nice to have the support of this group in such a troubling time. Thanks again.

I'm a little late with the congratulations, having just seen this happy news....but...
CONGRATULATIONS!
I'm glad we could all encourage you and pray for you through this - you know we would have kept it up if it had taken longer, but...YAY! It didn't :-)
(I'm happy for the freebies and other new employment...we DID need a good-news week!)
