Dutch just got a full time job last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who knows this realizes this is a major major major deal. After leaving the real estate industry as a real estate broker owning his own real estate business, the economy hasn't been so friendly. After I got laid of May of 2009 Dutch had been underemployed for over a year. Working part time at UPS has giving us some stability of a steady paycheck and unbelievable health benefits. Dutch worked some day jobs over the past 2 years in turf maintenance and also at the UPS store. This latest job is just what we have been waiting for.
He is working full time at Panmet Group which does international freight forwarding. He will be managing clients, dealing with customs, trade agreements, scheduling flights for freight shipments etc. He has his own desk, works 4 miles from our house, has a very casual dress code, works with 6 guys of similar age, and has great potential for job growth.
He will continue to work at UPS in the evenings until things are settled and especially until he gets his 90 day raise. Only issue is that they don't currently offer health care. So hopefully by the time we feel comfortable with him not working at UPS they will have a plan. Also, if I am able to get into a full time design job again I would most likely have benefits through them.
We are beyond thankful for everyone who has been there supporting us in many ways over the past few years. This has been long time coming. We have been through a lot, learned a lot, and most importantly, gained a new appreciation for even the smallest things.
We look forward to finally enjoying the summer as a married couple! Maybe we will be able to leave the house some weekends lol. Hopefully there will be more to blog about. Not just because we will have a little more flexibility financially, but because our spirits are lifted.
