My Head is Spinning

Wow, my head is spinning. Lots of changes going on right now. I've already talked about the new house, things are moving along on that front. Hopefully the sale on the lot closes and records today. If so the foundation work for the house might start next week!

I sold my car! Woo hoo!! No more stress about it selling so that I have the down payment!! Oh and I bought a truck! I had seen a truck for sale about a month ago that I was very interested in but the posting was deleted and I never saw it posted again. Well it was posted again this week. I met up with the guy and test drove the truck. I ended up giving him a deposit for the truck. It was too good of a deal to pass up. Even though my car hadn't sold yet, I knew I could take it the Chevy dealership in town and with what they would give me I'd have enough to buy the truck and for the down payment on the house. As a last ditch effort I posted my car online one last time for $1,000 less than I was asking. Even that would be more than what Chevy would give me. There was a guy in Anchorage who emailed me when I first put the car online. He was interested but with him being 350 miles away it was just a lot to work out. Well he saw that I dropped the price and emailed me. It was enough of a drop that he was willing to work it it out. He flies up here Saturday and will buy the car and drive it back to Anchorage. I will then go and pick up the truck. :-) Nice how that all worked out!!

As if that's not enough, I got a new job this week!! I interviewed for an entry level HR job at the university here. They called and offered me the job contingent on my background check. They called today to make the offer official! I start in two weeks! More money and excellent benefits!! And great potential for the future. It is just too good to be true but it is. The past several years have been hard for me, lots of struggling and challenges. It seems like I've had nothing but doors closed in my face. And now, all of a sudden the switch has been flipped and doors are opening. I'm so thankful and my head is still spinning from it all. True to my form when I make changes, I don't make one or two little ones. I shake everything up! I didn't plan it this way tho it's just how it has all happened.
