Thank you x 1000.
Your prayers and thoughts worked like a charm.
On Friday afternoon, Jimmy finally got the call he’s been waiting for these past two weeks.
He got the promotion he’s been working towards since Pepsi first offered it to him and then turned around and gave it to someone else last year.
Yeah, direct quote from his boss this time last year. “James, are you interested in the job? It’s yours! Go home and celebrate.”
Then the very next day “Umm, did you happen to tell Raina about the promotion? Because we’re interviewing tomorrow for that job I was telling you about yesterday. We decided that you need a little more experience. But stick around cause you’re a really valuable employee and I don’t want to loose you. Next time, the job is yours.”
He’s in shock. He honestly did not believe he was going to get it this time either.
I think he’s said to me “I can’t believe I got the job” at least 18 times since last Friday.
Timmins and it’s surrounding areas are complete and total Pepsi cities.
He’s walking taller. And feeling a whole heck of a lot better about himself.
It’s beautiful.
We had a great weekend in Ottawa.
The wedding was very nice.
I saw a few similarities between mine and my cousin’s wedding.
I guess I should be flattered right?
The reception hall had large tables sitting 10 people each. My table was smack in the middle of the hall. There were only 5 of us at the table and we were the loudest by a long shot. What we lacked in numbers we made up for in laughs.
"Wooohoooo 18!!!"
And seriously, my uncle was the biggest instigator!!
my uncle and my dad - such clowns!!
the boys; my uncle, Jimmy and cousin Dan
Raina & James
the girls; soo glad I had Renee at my table....
Renee, the actress in the family. Flew in fromVancouver to be with our family for Thanksgiving and we managed to snaggle her an invitation to the wedding. And I finally got my autographed 8x10 autographed picture. bwa-hahahaha!
Banner stayed home alone for the first time.
Jimmy usually stays behind and I attend out of town weddings and parties without him.
This time Jimmy came along.
We had neighbors check on Banner a few times a day to feed him and let him out.
When our neighbor dropped our house key off today, he said Banner didn’t eat a thing the first day but that he let Banner out 5 times a day. By the second day, Banner had warmed to him and was eating up a storm.
We smoothed things over with Banner with a HUGE bone from Pet Smart.
All’s well in the house tonight.
Banner and Jimmy are each asleep on a couch upstairs.
I just may leave them there tonight.
