Moving Forward Again

[istherehope]

Hi Daisy,

Always good to see updates from you. I think that is a good insight about there being less of a chance of your H regretting his choices if you give him time and space now. I feel like that is especially the case with your H being so young. I would hate to see, down the road, him feeling like he was forced to "give up his freedom" too young. I'm sure that if you are patient with him, he will never have reason to feel that way.

I'm really happy for you both that you'll be spending Christmas together, and that some of that time you will be alone together. From what you've been saying it sounds like that alone time is something that is really good for the two of you.

Praying for the enlistment bonus to come through soon! Sounds like there is no question that it is there and due to your H, but that it is taking ages to figure out how to get it! How frustrating, but I am really confident that it will work out just when it needs to.

In the meantime are you still applying for jobs? Is your H applying for any jobs now? Are you considering different cities to move to or is that still up in the air?

Sorry about your company and the unemployment thing. I would suspect that there is some kind of rule about this, although it might vary with the size of the company. Sometimes small businesses, i.e. companies with less than a specific number of employees, are exempt from rules that would apply to larger companies. Also there may be different rules depending on the type of contract you have. For example if you were not guaranteed any specific number of hours per week when you started, this could have an impact as well. I don't know how this would work. If I were you I would definitely look into that!

In any case I still read your post as incredibly positive, and I'm so glad to hear that things, finances aside, are going well. Please keep us posted!

ITH
