The Dance of Life

It’s
confirmed, the bank has started working on my employment documents and my
training will start on the 16th. Yesterday
was supposed to be my last day at my previous job but they need me for another
week. I will ask until Wednesday only
though because I still have lots and lots of things to do that need to be done
as soon as possible.

I am
really looking forward to working at the bank. In my heart, I know I can do this. Even if I will only be working part-time at least I can grow with the
bank and when Wyatt is a little older, I can start working full-time.

When you
sacrifice and work too much, you deserve a little treat to encourage yourself
more and to show appreciation on what you are doing so Mike and I do just that. Since I got the confirmation that I will get
the bank job, Mike and I have been thinking of buying ourselves cellphones. We think that we deserve it and it will also
help us communicate while we are both at work, and to check on our kids. "I don’t want you worrying about the
kids while you are working," Mike told me. What worries me most is my 3 weeks training because this training is
full time and involves a whole week
travel. But for sure I will feel better
when I start my regular part-time work schedule. So having a cellphone will definitely help
with my peace of mind because then I can phone at home anytime and see how my
babies are doing.

Mike and
I are kind of excited about it too cuz it’s been more than 2 years we
didn’t have any cellphones. But we
didn’t really need cellphones anyway because I wasn’t working then. We’ve been using landlines and it worked just
fine for us. But of course now that we
have cellphones, we signed up for the one that best suited our needs. We have the sony ericsson Z710i (Click here to view the cellphone!)
Mike’s got the black and I got the gold one. It might not be the best but it has everything we need. We’re both happy about it.

I was
thinking about all the things that have been and are happening with our family
and it feels good to say that our patience has bestowed great things on us. Mike and I started off really bad here in Canada but we overcame our weaknesses and we were very patient no matter what.  Mike wasn’t happy with his job for a while; My application for Permanent Residency was on the way but I couldn’t work for a long time because we know it wasn’t worth the risk; our marriage was falling; we were just barely making ends meet., yadayada you name it.  But with patience, courage and prayers, we are now a happy family, a happy home.

Through
my experience in life, I have learned that if you are happy with the decisions
you’ve made in your life and happy with what you do, it somehow drives you,
motivates you to move forward regardless of any stress you encounter everyday. In spite of the chaos and exhaustion at home
and at work, at the end of the day, somehow you can still manage a smile and
share cuddles with your husband and your kids. It’s very satisfying.
