About two and a half weeks ago Chris came home from work without a job. We're still not completely sure why they let him go, but I think it's because they're slowly outsourcing his line of work to their plant in South America (cheaper labor). He had already been looking for another job because he was unhappy where he was at, but it was still a shock. As it turns out his job loss was a blessing in disguise. Earlier this week he was offered a programming job at Austin Community College. The hours will be better, the pay will be better, and the work environment will be better. We're so thankful for this blessing. Our time of unemployment was short, but during those couple of weeks we had a tremendous amount of support from our ward, our friends, and our family. We are so grateful for the love that was shown to our us.
The last month or so has been a roller coaster of emotions. So many ups and downs, but I suppose that's what this life is all about. To enjoy the ups and learn from the downs. I am so grateful for my faith. Sometimes I don't have enough of it, but my faith is what gets me through my trials. With good friends and a fabulous family included, life couldn't get any better. Our family is so blessed.
