He is at work.....

God, that is. And soon, so will Matt be. That's right, folks. A mere 11 months after Matt was let go from his job at Hampton Lumber he will be employed as the IT guy for a small airplane parts manufacturer. He will receive an hourly wage which means they will be more inclined to stick to a 40 hour work week. If they don't, the time-and-a-half will be greatly appreciated. In addition to this job coming as we are getting to the bottom of the savings barrel, it is only 4.4 miles from home. Bicycle, bus, feet, or sled (when it snows) Matt will not have to worry about the commute.

God has had quite a big job taking care of us and He has had a lot of help from the people in our community. We recognize all of our family and friends as His hands at work in our lives. Thank you, Father, for helping us to look at life from a new perspective. We are more grateful for opportunities to help others. I am thankful for the patience I have learned over this past year.

I am most thankful that I have had a year of having my husband around me constantly (minus his 2 weeks in California) and I do not want him to go back to work. I have loved having him here and will miss him for the 9 hours a day he will be gone. What a precious gift to really miss your spouse!

We are frantically trying to do what we can together for this last week. Today is a picnic, tomorrow is a trip to the zoo and, if the weather improves, we'll play at the splash pad.

Thank you for your prayers and support. We'll always take those. If we can do anything for you don't hesitate to ask. God's blessings have been abundant and we love to share the wealth!
