The Big Move

Well, Justin has officially accepted the job here in TC! He already gets one week paid vacation!!! How awesome. He has been contacted by the management company and will be starting his new job on November 3rd! He has alot of moving plans to figure out within the next 30 days....

I am so excited to have him back in Michigan!


As for me:
On a sad note- I do not have a job right now. My store suddenly was closed last Tuesday due to my companies bad management and financial issues they never disclosed to their employees. My boss shut our doors (Good Harbor Coffee and Tea) and said she was locking it up for good. She and her ex-husband have been fighting and unfortunately brought their personal lives into their business.....and employees lives. I was furious when this happened. I have been unemployed now for one week...its rough I must say. I have no money coming in, and its scary. My job right now is finding a job. Frustrating to say the very least. Boring also! But on the flip side I am taking this as an opportunity to find something BETTER, a company to appreciate me and show I am worth more than what I was shown previously. Thanks to everyone who have been my support group through this time. I am confident I can do this! This is a sign that something better is on it's way :)

As for Rob & Linds:

They are currently in Grand Rapids to obtain their work visas for London!! Lindsey got her work permit yesterday. They are scheduled to leave Oct. 13th to make the official move together to London. We shall see if that holds true! Only 2 months and 25 days left til our big trip across the pond!! Stay tuned for more!

Justin's Big News

Justin has landed a job here in TC!!!!! He interviewed for an assistant position for TC Wealth Management (a small business downtown) while he was here in August. He was their first interview....out of 20. There were also 70 applicants to begin with...so we were all a little nervous but KNEW Justin would pull it off and win them over with his charm. So, he had the interview- felt it went very well, he was pretty pumped after it. He took a series of personality tests (to make sure he fit in with the small office environment). They called him Thursday to let him know he was their #1 pick for the position!!! He was very relieved and happy. He has finally caught that break he was needing..........after switching majors and dealing with all that came with that, this is exactly what he needed.

Justin will be a support "guy" for the financial planners at this business. He will be a professional employee- dressing up, getting a cubicle, the whole nine yards. Time for a wardrobe expansion!! This is a great opportunity for him to get his foot in the door here, and learn all about financial planning (this is what he is really interested in doing). The guys at TC Wealth are very cool, laid back, genuine, and easy to get along with----very Justin. He fits there. I am so happy for him!

This also means......he will have a definite date in which he will start the job, and when he will have to be back in TC!! Very good news for me too :) The job will also work out with his class schedule---he will be at Davenport come spring. We may even be at the University Center on the same class nights! What a concept :) It's going to be GREAT having him back here, comforting really. He's moving on up in the world and we couldn't be more proud. He mayb be your CFP someday!!
