January - Changes & New Beginnings

While visiting with a friend recently I remembered something about January. It is my birth month, that was a big change and new beginning for me. I don't remember it but I was there for the event.

Looking back, I have kept a few notes on where we have lived and jobs I have had.
Jan 1968- I boarded a Greyhound bus the day before my 16th birthday, destined for a new start in life with a family I had never met to make a "safe" place for me and my baby due in a few months.
Jan 1969- I boarded a flight to southern California to join my new husband, now in the Marine Corps, for our new life and family together.
Jan 1975 - Moved to Hayden
Jan 1983- Moved to Moses Lake, WA
Jan 1989 - Returned to work at Steamboat Resorts - job I really enjoyed
Jan 1993 - Opened retail gift shop - Country Junction Giftshop
Jan 1999 - Went to work at TK's Truckstop (with Kelley and Tracy)
Jan 2001 - American Family Insurance
Jan 2004 - Craig Chamber of Commerce
Jan 2010 - still unknown, but expecting "something" to happen this month.

So, maybe this is another year for something significant to happen in January?

Hope it's something really good.

Let's just pray that whatever significant event happens in January, that it's a good one!

Happy Belated Birthday. Looks and sounds like Jan. is a busy month for you as you were growing up/older. Here's hoping what ever you're waiting on for this Jan. will be something really terrific.
