The new normal
My friends, we have reached another milestone in our lives.
ROBERTO IS WORKING A FULL TIME JOB IN HIS CAREER FIELD!
We have come so far! We are SO grateful! When Roberto and I were first married back in 2008, he was enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and I was a Sophomore at BYU-Idaho. Roberto had 5 months left in his contract and then the decision came. Was he going to leave the Air Force or make it his career?
I remember feeling so stressed out about making the correct choice. We prayed, we looked at all our options, we made pros and cons, we really thought this through. Finally we felt like either road was fine and that the decision was up to us. Since Roberto didn't feel like he was supposed to be in the Air Force and there was an opportunity for him to receive payment for school because of his military service, we decided to apply to universities.
I was currently a student at BYU-Idaho and deferred a semester because of the wedding and moving to New Mexico. He applied to 3 schools, the University of Utah, Utah State and BYU-Idaho. The process seemed to be so long and tedious, since Roberto had only taken a few community college courses in New Mexico. I was so thrilled when we found out he had been accepted to ALL 3 schools! So then we planned on moving to Rexburg, Idaho to start a new journey as married college students.
Now, 4 years later, with 2 bachelors degrees and a 2 year old toddler, I am so amazed at everything that has happened. We did it! I graduated in 2010 and Roberto did this past December 2012.
I just have to take a minute and brag about Roberto, because he never talks about himself; he is too cool like that, seriously. Roberto was not that all excited about going to school, he doubted himself, after all, he was 27 years old, and it had been a long time since he had had to really dedicate himself to school work.
Seriously people, his last two semesters, STRAIGHT A's. I am so happy that he LOVES what he does and that he can enjoy his work and be able to provide for us. Roberto studied Computer Information Technology, which is THE field to be in right now, no joke. The guy is a genius, so dedicated to doing his very best in everything he does. I love him so much.
Roberto now works for a company called England Logistics. He is a Business Analyst. Yesterday was his first day and it looks like he's going to love it.
So here we are! Here's to the new normal! Here's to money and benefits! Hallelujah! :D
