Yep.... You get all of that after you reach 240 hours of work. You have to maintain 120 hours in 2 months time. It might take me a few months longer to reach 240 hours as I am mainly part-time but you get all that after just those few hours.. I have been in college almost 4 years now and when I get done this semester I still will only make a few dollars more than what I will be making at Starbucks... Also, they have stock for their employees and a matching 401K plan. It is insane what they offer their employees.. I don't mind serving coffee until I keel over with those benefits.
I hope and pray this year brings us all babies fulfilling our dreams of a bigger family. It is sometimes hard to be patient and I can honestly say that even though this was never what I envisioned for my life, I am so thankful that God gave me the good sense to jump into everything that would take me where I wanted to go and made me without much fear of the unknown. I am grateful to be the type of person to take whatever step I needed to make my dreams come true. Time is sooo short. I am looking to have some babies the next few years and I will do whatever job and give up whatever I have to, apart from my husband and son..
On Monday morning I become Barista Angela.. Thank You, God! I will also be working there until my fertility benefits are gone or I conceive, whichever comes first. With the money I make (around 300$ a week) I will be saving for a house before the end of the year.. We actually plan on trying to get a owner financed house or rent-to-own type deal as I HATE payments and want to pay cash for our home so we don't have the burden of a horrid loan. Since we live in a very rural area, it shouldn't be such a hard thing to not have to go the traditional route.. Just have to keep all my P's and Q's in a row and complete one task at a time. I will be going the next few months and putting ads in the local papers for our home search.We want an even more rural area than we have now.
Life is so busy. Praying your betas come back awesome, Jen! I sure pray I am not too far behind you... I have to admit I am a little jealous, but so super glad for your blessing!
