I got a new job!
I went for an interview today at 2pm and I was hired on the spot. I start Saturday and will be working for a chain or makeup/beauty stores right here in the new one they are opening up in Eastern PA.
I can't believe it and this will surely help us out with money. DH and I have already talked about my checks going straight to savings and his checks (he will make ALOT more) paying the bills, gas in cars, etc...
This is like a blessing, I am excited too because I can talk for a long time about makeup. I will be a cashier/sales person and I love to talk too! lol
