{Changes}

Wow, I don't know about Dave but this has been the longest, most stressful 3 months of my life. 

When Dave got let go from his job in October we thought he would have a job within a week....um we were DEAD WRONG.  Trying to make sure the utilities aren't getting shut off and food is on the table is not easy with 1 income when we have always had 2 incomes.  And then Christmas to top it off...yeah not fun!  Thanks to our bishop, he has been incredible and helped us so much...then the ward helped during Christmas....it really was a blessing and we are so humbled.

About 2 weeks ago our good friend Ruthanne that works at Harmon's grocery store said "hey there is a manager position open at Harmon's"  A grocery store never really crossed our minds with Dave always being in the construction industry but we were pretty desperate at this point so he decided to go in and interview.

The next day Ruthanne heard that he had interview really well and was 1 of 3 that they were thinking about hiring but they needed to get the results from some test that he had to take (a personality test).  We didn't get our hopes up but looked forward to getting an answer either way.

He finally got a phone call that his test score was really high and he interviewed well and they offered him the J   O    B  !!!!!!!!!!

And I have to say this is a pretty dang good job.  He is a manager at Harmon's.  Not just over a department, THE ENTIRE STORE!  They call him 3rd Manager.  Wow, we are still in shock but I have no doubt that he will do amazing.  He laughs and says that everyone comes up to him to shake his hand and gets A LOT of respect.  He has to do his hair everyday and wear nice clothes.  Total 360 for him!

This is for sure an answer to our prayers.  It is not only a job but a CAREER!  I'm sure Harmon's isn't going anywhere anytime soon and there is so much potential.

Thank you to all of our friends and family that have prayed and always kept their ears open for any available jobs.  We appreciate it more than you will ever know!

Now just for payday to come around so we can start coming up for air.
