Big Changes Are Coming to Our Little Family

I'm sure, many have heard news about HBC, there is so much that many don't know.  Most I can't share on a public blog.  I will share though that HBC is negotiating a new contract even though there is still a year left on the old contract.  It will be up for a vote to the Union this Saturday.  I'm more upset by them because they are trying to pass this off as saving jobs, but in reality, no matter if the Union accepts the contract, there will be around 1,000 people laid off from HBC.  This news will be announced after the information of the vote comes out. This is not common knowledge.  With such a high number, we don't know if Daddy's job will be safe at this time.

On top of this news, if the new contract is approved.  Well I will just sum it up as reality will hit us SMACK in the face.  Simply put, we will lose everything that we have worked so hard for in the last 5 years.  Our home included.  We are angry and we are scared of what the future brings.

With this news comes the reality that we have to move.  Where?  We don't know at this time.  When?  It will likely be after the first of the year.  Something else I haven't spoken about, is that Daddy is having a full hip replacement surgery in December.  No action can be taken until after Daddy heals from his surgery.  Hopefully we will get good news after this weekend, until then we just have to pray that God will help us to get through these tough times.  Big changes come our way........
