Another Goal Accomplished

Yesterday was brutal.  Just started out bad and never really recovered.  We did have some good news come in for my husband which took so much stress and worry off our shoulders.  You see, my husband is in the navy and they have this program where you can go to school and they pay for it.  It's called Tuition Assistance (TA).  He's been using it to finish up his degree, which he will have in December of this year!!!!!  Well he put in the request with his command a little over a month ago for his classes which start on Monday of next week.  No word of them approving it or it finishing the process.  It was frustrating to say the least because then we'd be in a bit of a bind with hoping his pale grant covered everything.  TA covers the cost of the classes, just not the books.  Pale grants are covering that.  Well in the midst of the way yesterday was going for me I get this text from Jay telling me he has good news.

That required a phone call at which point he told me that his TA had been approved!!!!!!!  Now we just had to wait on the actual paperwork to come in so he can submit it to his college to get that taken care of.  Well this morning he got the paperwork and will be taking care of it once he gets off work later today.  Oh it is so wonderful to know that worry is off our shoulders.  He is so close to the end of what has been a long, hard road to getting his degree.  It is something we know is needed as he is getting out next year.

As this has been going on I've been slowly checking some business goals off my list.  One was getting my own website.  This is kind of a big deal to me since I have been slowly pushing myself out of my comfort zone and doing something like getting my own site is shall we say a scary thought.  Earlier this year I got my business cards made up and that was a big accomplishment for me.  Today, I got my own website set up.  Can we say scary?  It is something I'm so proud of for accomplishing.  I know it will help my business to grow and I need that to happen.

With Jay getting out of the navy next year, we need my business to be at a specific point as part of our plan B.  It is a scary thought to think of getting out of the navy, but we know it is what is right for our family.  The navy isn't like it was when we first joined.  We don't feel like it is a place we can be and maintain our standards that come with our faith.  And those are standards we are not willing to compromise on.  Lets face it, we can see the writing on the wall and we know for the sake of our family this is the right move.  There is a lot of things we need to check off a long to do list, but slowly that is exactly what we are doing.

I have my own personal set of goals with my business and in my personal life.  I love checking them off.  And today I can say I've done just that.  Now to pick a new goal to check off the list and start working on getting that one accomplished next.
