I am officially in love with our civilian life! Matt came home the other day and said that Weyerhaeuser did very well this last year as did his section, so they decided to pay out 100% Which meant a large bonus for us!! When he was shown the amount he told his boss that couldn't be accurate because it would need to be pro rated since he had only been there for six months. His boss mentioned something about how they had "forgetten about that" and walked away. On top of that he was given a significant pay raise also! So in six months he has recieved two bonuses, and a pay raise! Amazing!!
The company also sent him to an IT conference in San Francisco for a week where he was dined by potential and existing vendors. He then came home with an I-pod shuffle for me and a Portable Playstation for the kids, courtesy of said vendors.......nice......
My cousin asked if all of this made me wish we had gotten out of the military sooner. I recognize the Lord's hand in this and know that it was the perfect time, place, etc... Matt had to be in the military all those years so that he could recieve the knowledge and training that it provided him, the oppurtunity to have the learning experiences he did and so much more...
I am ever thankful and appreciative of the blessings we have recieved. With this gratitude I have also felt an extreme desire to prove a good steward over the things we have been given. the children, house, finances, etc..... I do realize that as quickly as it is given, it can be taken away.
So thanks to the military for all it provided for us and for making the decision in it's wisdom to cut us loose, it is truly one of the best things that has happened to us.
