I'm not superstitious but I am beginning to wonder.
While I was in Florida for work last week, Josh called me to tell me that he had lost his job. The shop that he was working at went under and filed for bankruptcy. Oh joy, 3 weeks before we are getting married. We knew the shop was having issues, but Josh had been told that they were trying to sell it before it closed. Obviously that didn't happen and Josh was left without a job. I was scared and happy at the same time which is a weird feeling. Josh had been so stressed from his past job and worked for such little pay that I sometimes wondered if it was even worth it. So I was happy because he needed some time off. And this past weekend was fun, and he was light hearted and just all around fun. A side of Josh I haven't seen very often lately. But I was scared to be the only income for awhile. I wasn't worried about our house or our utilities since I made sure I could afford them all myself when we moved. But Josh has bills too, which I knew I could not afford myself - car loan, student loan, tool bills, ect. Josh had some money saved, but who knew how long it would take to get another job and how long would that money last....
Second bad thing (not so big compared to the first) Josh broke his cell phone the same day he lost his job. We don't have a phone line at home so cell phones are it. Luckily I had an old cell phone in a drawer that has been working great temporarily - crisis averted!
Third bad thing was just issues with my work, not any loosing of jobs, just jobs changing and not being entirely thrilled about it.
Here is the upside to all of it:
1. Josh got a new job today (5 days after loosing last job - woohoo!)
2. My Job is looking up and I have a new outlook
3. Josh is getting a new phone now that we will have 2 incomes again!
So if bad things come in threes, must be good things do too!
