Sweet Hallelujah!!
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about movin' to the South.
Stephen got "the call" this morning and HAS BEEN OFFERED A JOB!
He still has to do a pretty extensive physical and drug screen, but all should be fine with those. He lived in a VERY poor country in Africa for nearly a year and the question of did he manage to pick up some crazy, weird thing while there is always in the back of our minds. They did have their house bleached daily, and the darn boy NEVER gets sick, so I'm pretty confident that all is well. {;-D
We're SO excited!
Just imagine bi-weekly, predictable paychecks. This will be the first time in our marriage he's not been commission based...or... how we've been living for the last couple years... Commissions can be nice when they are big, but you NEVER know when, how much or IF you'll have a check. It often left me edgy and feeling a little insecure, I don't tend to do insecure well. That arrangement also helped us avoid debt like the plague because we knew there isn't always going to be money to make monthly payments. Minimal debt kept us afloat with "how we've been living for the past couple of years". We are both so ready to start a new phase, we've been humbled, learned lessons, felt the loving compassion of others who care about us, have an unwavering knowledge that our Heavenly Father knows us and our struggles and will send help and blessings when he sees fit (for this is how we've managed to keep mind and soul together) and have a very focused plan for "when we have a job again".
Did I mention WE'RE SO EXCITED!?!

HOORAYYYYY!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you guys. We definitely understand the 'no money' situation, and can't wait to change that aspect of our lives soon. (hopefully) Congrats! I hope it all continues to go smoothly.
HAPPY DANCE!!!!
Love, Ma
Yay!!! I'm so happy for you! This is wonderful news. Rob has been trying to get a job for over a year now (not counting the 5 months of military training), and right now things are very scary. I dream of the day when we will receive THE CALL from one of the many places he's applied with. You've done great, and I'm sure things will just keep getting better for you guys!
Congratulations!!! Can you come to Athens, GA when you decide to move to the south?? Good Luck with the new job!
You both totally deserve it - the blessings always do come...eventually. :)
Congrats!!!!
Congratulations! Your home teachers have been praying for you!
But, but I don't want you to move! I will be happy for you because you are so EXCITED!

Congrats! That's wonderful news. It's always happy to hear about people actually getting jobs when so many stories nowadays are the opposite. I hope he ends up loving the job!
