"Labor"less Day

Our friends invited us back to their pool to enjoy the beautiful weekend. It was a great time, we loved being able to spend time together and let the kids play before school started. We held our mini version of the Olympics, we swam through hoops, help our breath, and the men saw who could make the biggest splash with the cannonball. I think Ryan won the gold in that event.

So I have been trying to figure out how or what or if anything to say about this subject on the blog, but it's hard to try to reach out to people one by one to let everyone know what has happened. The week before Labor Day Ryan found out in a shocking blow that he was suddenly without a job. It was a crushing, devastating tidbit of information. I'm trying to choose my words carefully here, what happened to us was unbelievable, and understanding the situation is quite difficult at best, but suffice it to say it was due to Corporate Restructuring.

We have been madly at work networking, (one reason for blogging about this), applying, interviewing, and so forth. We have found many good leads.
We have seen many blessings in this process, mainly in the support and love which our family and friends have shown us. We are so grateful for everyone who has gone out of their way to help us, to pray for us and to show their support in many ways that I cannot even begin to name them all.
We are blessed. I know that our Heavenly Father is in charge, that He knows us and loves us. He will help us learn what we need to, and will help end up where we need to be. I do not doubt His love, and I am so grateful for the peace He brings to my life.
We'll keep you updated as we learn more. Thanks again for your love and support.
