It's official.. DH got the job...

Posted on Thursday, November 30, 2006 at 06:58

My sweet DH has been deciding and praying over his profession.  Before he went to Iraq in 2004, he was a residential contractor.  He built lots of beautiful houses.  After he came back, he had really reevaluated his life.  As a builder his work day was never finished.  If he wasn't on a job site he was on the cell phone.  It was 6:00 to 8:00, 7 days a week.  He has really prayed over wether or not that was the life he wanted. 

Well, he has decided to take a fulltime National Guard job in Carthage.  He will be running the Armory down there.  He is excited about it.  It will mean a pay cut but the benefits are amazing.  He will work 7:00 to 4:30,Monday thru Friday.  He will have every other Monday off, every red letter holiday, and 30 days vacation a year.  We have never had this much time with him.  I haveto say I don't even care about the pay cut.  The only draw back, other than the possibility of going back to war, is that we do have to move closer to Carthage.  It's a smaller town than what we live in now.  That could probably be a good thing.  DH has talked to a few guys and they say it's also a good community.  We shall see.  It might be nice to have a change, as DH and I have lived in this same community for most of our lives.  It will be neat to see something different.  If I complain later remind me of this statement.LOL

DH started today and he is now on the search for us a new home.  If you don't mind please be in prayer for us to find the perfect home for us.  Our children are having a tough time with having to move,so a good place for them to run would help.  Thank you in advance.  This has trully been a trial, as we have family and great likeminded friends here,but God is bigger than all of that.  He has a plan for us and Lord willing we are right in the middle of it.

Blessings,

Trixi

That's great!

Hey -- how'd I miss this?
Ok, now we HAVE to get together before you go moving to Carthage (which, by the way, I haven't a clue as to its location!)
And, no I haven't been to Ada's at all. Want me to go? What do you need?
