More Job Info

He got a job with the company he's worked for for a few years now. He won't be going back overseas which is awesome. The job is located in Sierra Vista, which is where he was stationed while in the Army, which is about an hour past Tucson. It's an amazing opportunity and the start of a career rather than just a "job". He will be getting "top secret" clearance which is highly sought after and also means he can get any top secret job, anywhere. So long story short, this means eventually we'll be moving down to Sierra Vista. We'll be seeing eachother on the weekends and during the week if the kids and I drive down until we move down fully. He'll be getting an apartment or small house until this house sells. At first I was a little hesitant and not so thrilled but the more I prayed about it, after my "shopping cart experience" and a few fortune cookie papers that were amazing, I'm just at ease about the whole thing. This job is sent from heaven...the opportunity, the salary(which is beyond amazing for someone with no college, 26 years old and in this economy), everything. This does mean leaving family, friends, our beautiful home and our entire life here but I'm hopefull that this will not distance us from our friends, we'll find an even better house and home for our family, and we'll still be able to see "Mamaw" and my sisters a few times a month. I hope that our friends will understand and not push us out of their lives forever. We'd still like to get together as much as possible between now and the final move (not for a few months at least) and I hope that we'll still be able to plan playdates and special occasions to get together after we move. We've made some great friends and I don't want to lose them.

I'm excited about the plans the Lord has for us and how our lives will change. Please pray for our family and our changing lives.

He got the job!

Just wanted to shout it from the rooftops that my hubby got the job! Yay! I'll write more about details and feelings later.

Everyone always asks me how I go shopping and handle two kids on my own and I usually reply saying that I park close to shopping cart return things so I can grab one and get the kids in and when I'm done I can return it easily without leaving the kids in the car alone but today I didn't park next to one. I had been too busy singing along with one of my favorite christian songs on the radio thinking how much I just need to "let go and let God" handle all aspects of my life. So as I was making a promise to the Lord that I would try my hardest to give up control to him, I looked in the rearview mirror and I can see out of the corner that there was a runaway shopping cart gaining speed. As I continued to watch it, it slowed and then came to a complete stop right behind my car. I just smiled and said "Thank you Lord". I sit here smiling in amazement at how wonderful He is and how great it is to know that He is watching over us, caring for us and showing us the way.
