Job News

Aaaaaahhhhhhh.......whew.........Thank you God! Although in our darkest moments these past 6 weeks, I was less than faithful and more than doubtful, it appears He was looking out for us. Yesterday, Bill was told the company does want him, does have a job for him and it's even in town! I still don't agree with how long they stretched this whole thing out (long story behind it all) but am very grateful they sought to keep him as a valued employee. He started his new journey bright and early this morning, how's that for transition time?
He is very relieved to say the least but I think the emotional stress and weight of the situation has taken it's toll on him. He is very tired and not feeling very well....but hopefully tomorrow he will feel better all the way around. He has been a pillar of strength and determination this whole time and his tenacity may have helped him in the long run.....well, I know it did!

I want to thank you for your encouraging words and heartfelt support during all of this. I know there wasn't much anyone could do but offer those words and prayer-but it was exactly what we (and I) needed. I'm sure this won't be the last time I turn to my friends in a time of need, but I sure hope it is a LONG TIME FROM NOW!
I thought it would be fun to share a few pictures of Bill and some of the things he has been doing over the weeks to keep busy...
First he worked on his flexibilty

Then he tried out tree hugging as a profession...changed his mind and tried lumber-jacking
Then he just decided to 'hang' around
And finally he felt up to the challenge of teaching Parker to mow the lawn...impressive I tell ya'!
He is a man of many talents, many strengths and surrounded by many that love him. But I love him most of all!!
