When we would tell people we were getting foreclosed on they used to say how sorry they were for us.  Honestly though we are perfectly fine with it.  The house was too big for just the two of us, and we were not able to care for it as well as we had wanted to.

I don’t think I will ever own a home again, its too much work.

We moved into our current apartment in September of 2008, and here we are in December of 2009, we’re still in the same apartment.  We plan on staying here as long as possible. However, as long as possible almost turned out to be shorter than we planned.

Ted’s career is doing well, click here for more info on that, and as far as my job… well… things have changed.

I started at West Corporation in May of 2005 and was amazed by how good they were to me.  If you’ve read this from beginning to end you know that 2006 was the “Year From Hell” and West supported me through the whole thing.  Above and beyond that they’ve accommodated my blindness by installing enlarging software so I could do my job better, and so many other things I cannot list them all.

On October 8, 2009 the word came down from on high in the West lineup that the Rockford location was going to close.  NOW WHAT??? I loved my job, and had planned on staying there for ever if I could, but that was not meant to be.  Our official close date was set up for December 18, 2009 so at least we had some warning,

West did everything they can to help us get jobs in other places, which is much more than anyone would expect.  Along with organizing interviews with other local businesses for employees, West has an at home program that many employees applied with right away, me being one of them.

I applied with West At Home the  very night we found out we were going to be closing.  I got a response pretty much right away that they were interested in me, but it took them some time to actually get the information to me and how to start my job.

Its now April of 2010 and I’m on my second client with West At Home, and May will make 5 years with West Corporation, six years of wedded bliss, and I will turn 30.  Its a momentous time right now and I’m enjoying the ride.

Life is good today, I have not complaints at the moment. God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy… Billy Currington has it right.
