Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Exciting things in the works

I'm finding myself So excited, for what could be, yet so nervous for what might not. Anna's (the Lady that supposedly has the $1,000,000 job to offer ) Brother is supposed to be coming to Rock Springs on the 18th or 19th to discuss the job with David and one other guy. IF it really comes to be, then David should be leaving for Texas in about a month. Then, probably by Feb, he'll be on his way out of the country. Sooo, it brings up the amazing possibility that we may be able to buy a house, a truck, and a few other things that we really need but can't afford on our "income" ;-). Of course it also brings up new worries... I mean My Husband will be in a foreign country all but 12 weeks out of the year. And it's not the SAFEST area in the world right now. And there a few other things that worry me. BUT....

And then there's the let down if he DOESN'T get the job... That's a large sum of money to catch a glimpse of, and then watch it pass you by. True, money's not everything.... but it sure makes things easier.

Which of course then leads into the other thing. David's employer lied to unemployment about why they let him go. So he was denied unemployment. Which means we have literally been living off of ZERO income. David appealed their decision, but it's taken a while to get a hearing. So, on the 17th, he has that. If they decide to give him unemployment, we will get a lump sum of somewhere between $4,000 and $7,000 just in time (crossing my fingers, eyes, and toes) for Christmas. And then we will get about $1600 per month afterwards until David finds a job. Which is a Whole lot better than nothing!

So, here's hoping and praying.
