13 days and Counting~

Well its been almost two weeks since we lost our job here! We are still faithfully optimistic but it can be really hard at times. We have been blessed with an awesome family support system and group of great friends! This is not easy on us but we are trudging through it and hoping to come out better on the other side!

Some positive has come out of job loss~ Since we home school our kids they have had the benefit of learning from both Mom and Dad these past two weeks. Marc is great with helping out, ( I secretly think he is liking keeping his mind busy) much better with science experiments than me, and I think he enjoys relearning with the kids lots of the History stuff. Needless to say it can be a little too much togetherness at times but we are managing. :)

We have had lots of resumes sent out but are always looking for the next lead to follow up on. For many of you who have been out of a job for any amount of time you know how frustrating that whole hurry up and wait routine can be. Marc so far is very positive about the future and we are just striving to keep life as normal as possible for our kids. They have been pretty good all in all with the change of having Daddy home, to me at times it can be a constant reminder that we aren't getting a paycheck each day he is here. I am sure he feels that way as well. I keep telling him that life is this way for many people right now and its not anything to do with him personally just the way the world is right now! The economy stinks and we just fell victims to it!

Well anyhow I just wanted to update you all as to what has happened so far...keep praying for the job we are supposed to have, that it will be in the perfect time and one Marc clearly enjoys!

Thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes, as well as the many anonymous gifts that have come our way!

Until next time....
