Movin' on up

I would like to take this time to congratulate my dear hubby on his PROMOTION!!!! YEAH!!!! He's been at SCVTHS since September of 1996 and worked his way from security guard to utility worker to foreman. Along the way he has coached soccer and baseball - taking the baseball team to consecutive winning seasons. He is a very hard working guy that is not afraid to try something even if he is not sure he can do it. It is nice to know that his boss and other higher ups see that he is worth promoting. He'll start his new position on May 1 to get some exerience before the guy he is replacing retires. He is getting a nice raise and then his yearly raise on top of that July 1. With all good things, there are always consequences and in this case, has to do with Steve's new work schedule. Come May 1, his hours will be 2:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Now, this is both good and bad. It's good because my Mom will get a nice break from taking care of the kids for 10 hours a day to about 3 hours a day and Steve will get to spend a lot more time with the kids. It's bad because Steve and I will spend A LOT less time together. However, I think we can manage. He'll still have his weekends free, which is a plus. He'll also be giving up coaching baseball which he was probably going to do before getting the promotion, but now HAS to do. I know he really enjoys it and even more, the kids love him...but there is no way with that schedule he can do both. Like I said, consequences.

So, won't you join me in congratulating my hubs?

Congratulations babe! You always told me you'd make your way to the top and I never doubted you. Good luck in the new position. The kids and I are very proud of you. We love you to the moon and back :)
