10:00 a.m.
Aaron walks proudly into my room. He's barefoot, shirtless, and sporting nice designer blue jeans. His beautiful curly locks are tousled into a bedhead fro that I am completely in love with. He is so beautiful.
"Guess who just called me."
His grin is smirkish and I'm trying to imagine who's call could result in this reaction - WoodGroup?
"WoodGroup", he seems to bouncing off the walls inside his head but doing everything he can to keep his composure.
"That speaks real highly of you, ya know. Lay-offs happen all the time - they aren't always personal. That they want to bring you back, speaks very highly of you."
He starts feeding me more details of he conversation as if he's mulling it over out loud. It appears he's ready to go back to work and bring in the big money again.
I assure him, "If they like you this much Aaron, you likely have a (promotable) future with them too. But you can always take your college classes online."
"Yeah" he responds.
He continues to calculate things out and mentions finding his old WoodGroup uniforms.
I'm also on Cloud-9 - not just because I'm happy for him and proud of him (and I am - extremely!), but because as soon as he got off that phone call - he came to tell his momma. I live for those little moments of acknowledgement too.
Today, is Aaron's day! I'm so happy for him! (:
