When I started the blog over a few months ago, I was determined to be positive! No more depressing blog posts. Okay, I am going to try.
First off, we had a wonderful time off. We were able to see the birth of a new family with the marriage of Eric and Ashley. We were blessed to spend time with so many wonderful family members and friends. There were over fifty of us on the groom's side. We have such great friends and family. For many, I know the trip was a sacrifice. We greatly appreciate that you made that sacrifice in order to spend time with us.
While we were visiting with my dad last week, Dean got a phone call from a coworker letting him know that layoffs were going to start today. We had planned to vacation some on our way back. We really tried, but the threat of the layoff, really put a damper on it. We finally decided to go ahead and head home. The next day. we got another phone call staying that the layoffs were going to be more extreme. We have known they would come, we just really thought we had until April.
Today, we got the news - he will be laid off on February 29. We are not ready! We just finished a wedding and have another one in less than 5 months!
We have applied and applied for jobs. We send hundreds of resumes each week. It seems that sooner or later the law of averages would kick in, and he would get a job- so far that has not happened.
We are ok - we knew the possibility was there- we are thankful that we have until the end of February. The majority only have until the end of January. We would really appreciate your prayers as we continue the job hunt.
We know that God is never late - but we also know this His timing is not always the same as ours.
