*exhale*

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I had nothing to really post and I've been anxiously awaiting good news about a job, which we finally have!!!!!! Here's the truth: We had 2 job possibilities. One started out as a sure thing, but we had another interview with National Beef, so we held of on accepting the first because the National Beef job would have enabled Adam to use his major...which, for those of you who don't know, is Chinese. Well, National Beef didn't quite have it together, and, long story short, finally got their act together a month after they said they were going to interview us---only to interview us (why do I keep using the plural? Adam is the one getting job here...), and decide they didn't actually want to hire for that position yet. In the interum, the job that was a sure thing got kind of sick of waiting, so opened the position up to the public, which made it an unsure thing. Cool As A Cucumber Adam was not worried, but being the one to pay the bills and realizing some things were going to be late, I worried a little. Oh Me of little faith! Of course Adam was going to get the job! We are set---Adam starts Monday, and we will finally have an income. I can breathe again!!!
Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who had us in your thoughts and prayers!

Congratulations- How exciting!! An income, wow. Is it close to where you are living, then? What will he be doing? Miss you guys- I think about you all the time! I wish you were here to help me cook... I finally have a gas stove and a bigger kitchen we could both fit in!

That's so awesome. Congratulations. I bet it's such a relief. You guys are such a cute couple, family. I am inspired by your sweet strike. I need to go on a soda strike. I think once the icy cold beverages are gone from the fridge I'll go ahead and do it. I'm happy you are liking being a back home. It's great to be home.
