August.24.10 Well, we have been in Florida for two and half years. We moved down here for Brett's job when the company he was working for was bought out. The company that bought out the company moved Brett down here to work. As of Friday, that job no longer exists. The new company was publicly traded but a third company bought it out and made it private a couple of months ago. They are looking to make a profit and let go of 120 employees last Friday...Brett being one of them. Unfortunately, despite them moving us down here, Brett was the "last in" in the IT department. So here we are in Florida in a home that we love, a church that we love, a job that I like and with Brett looking for a job. We are hoping this time it doesn't mean moving the length of the country and learning a "new way of life." So if you hear of any System Administrator jobs in the Orlando area, please let us know. We will appreciate all the prayers we can get. Brett did have a good job so he has a month or two to look. We are scared (having seen others struggle in this situation) but also at peace. We trust that God is in control. We have a Rock. He is our Shelter and we choose to rest under His shadow...and cry from time to time. :) In other news...Caleb and Jen had Noah a couple of months ago. He is ADORABLE. Jen just took a job at a school on the West Coast of FL. Mom and Dad are also working at the same location as house parents. It is crazy to have so much family so close. Charity is staying with Caleb and Jen as their nanny while Caleb looks for a job. To read previous posts from this page check out the Blog. We are still currently taking reservations for family and friends to spend some time with us in FL! Check out our calendar to schedule your stay. We haven't started charging yet. :) |
