All In A Week!

A week ago today we found out Justin was part of the lay offs at Yahoo. We were keeping our chins up though, knowing if we had faith good things would come our way. Here it is just one short week later and Justin already has a new job! We get to stay in Georgia, Justin gets to continue working from home, he won't have to travel as much as before and he still gets to stay in Basketball! Basically from my point of view very little has changed besides the fact that I get to see my man more! The kicker on top of that is that we still will receive our severance package from Yahoo. We leave this afternoon for Oregon. It's so nice to know while we're gone there's no need to worry about anything. We get to enjoy ourselves and know that when we come home there's a new job just waiting for us! We are so blessed!

Oh, I'm so glad! How comforting for y'all just to be able to go away for awhile and feel that you have security when you get back. And especially awesome that he'll still be able to do what he loves, and you get to have him more. Heavenly Father truly is blessing your family.

don't you love it when tribulations actually end up being blessings in disguise? Especially when you don't have to endure the tribulation for too long! Congrats.
