Transitions

So now I'm officially back to catch up on all that has been going on with us since the middle of January. I guess the biggest news is that Jay now has a new job!

Back at the end of January, Jay's company informed him that they needed to eliminate his position because of the economy. What originally started out as a scary experience has turned out to be a huge blessing. (isn't that the way life normally works?) While Jay was doing everything he could for that company, I know that it was not exactly what he wanted to be doing... he was stressed, overworked, and not totally loving the work he was being asked to do. Still, it's nervewrecking to everyone involved to not have a job to get up and go to every morning and even scarier still to not know when another job might come along.

Over the past month, he has been the busiest unemployed person I've ever known, doing everything possible to track down a new opportunity. He's also had some time to do things he hasn't gotten to do much of before, like taking the kids to school and gymnastics and doing some honey-do items for his wife. It's been nice to have him around more and I know he feels the same way. Anyway, God has definitely used this experience to show us how he constantly provides for us. Two weeks ago, Jay got sort of a random opportunity to meet with some guys who have a start up technology company and who were looking for a CPA to build their accounting department from scratch(something Jay loves!!!) It was an immediate fit. So much so, that he came home from that initial meeting with this huge grin plastered all over his face. So, he starts his new job next week. Praise God for his wonderful provision!!!! We know that it was all because of HIM!

Thanks to all of you out there who were praying for Jay and for our family. We appreciate it so much! Please continue to pray for Jay as he transitions into his new schedule and for me and the kids as we adjust to it too.

Oh, and Jay, thank you for being the wonderful, determined, go-getter that you are...We love you so much and I've never been prouder of you!

Now that I got that out of the way...
