Employed

Yep!  You read that correctly!  My hubby is now employed and starts work on Thursday!  We are so thrilled that this has happened and even before Christmas!  We (and a lot of other people) have been praying for this and we have been so very blessed with this news!  Although he has only been home for 12 weeks, we've know for about 18 weeks that he would need a new job and began looking immediately.  It's been great to have him home but I have to be honest....it will be great to send him back to work!  I've had a vacation for the last 3 months but now it's back to reality!  I know he is going to miss his kids very, very much and I feel sad for him.  It's so hard to leave them to go to work and I don't have to go every day so I can only imagine what it's like for him. He is so involved in every detail and loves taking them to school.  In fact, I asked him who he was taking tomorrow and he said both b/c it's the last time he will get to for a long time!  Poor guy!  Please pray for him as he has to go back and be on probation for 3 months and get used to working again and being away from the people that mean the most to him!

Something cute that happened tonight....Andrew was using his fingers to draw letters on the carpet and he said he drew the 1st letter of each of our names and a B.  When asked what the B was for he said for the baby that we are going to have in a long time!  Doesn't that just warm your heart?  I would love for that to be reality right now.  He has talked about it so much in the last year since we were pregnant and lost the first one.  I didn't even tell him about the 2nd time b/c I knew it would just break his heart if it happened again.  One of these days I think it will happen and then he can write the letter for that little one along with ours.
