I'm sorry for lack of posts...but there has been a gigantic elephant in my living room and I feel that I'm finally ready to address it. The company I was working for fell victim to the economy and had to let me go. So I've been trying to put my life together and mount a tremendous job search effort in the last week and half or so...
At first it was hard to think that I didn't have any where to be the next day and all the other thoughts and feelings that go along with that. But my Husband is loving and wonderful and we are doing fine. Speaking of loving and wonderful is my family, which has been gracious and supportive, I am truly thankful. I couldn't have gotten through this without the help of my Steven, my Mom and my Dad...and of course Colin, whom I've gotten to spend some more time with.
But over the last week or so things have picked up and I've been sending out resumes and the like, and I had a phone interview this morning and I have another interview next week. This is a blessing in disguise, as my career wasn't moving forward at my old company, and I don't think I was adding to their bottom line either. So in all, this is a good move forward, even if precipitated by bad circumstances. Its hard to be bitter or complain about it, because even though I really liked my coworkers and the company, it really was time for us both to move on.
I also think that my guardian angels were watching over us, protecting us from getting a house at a bad time and helping us to keep our options open. Its always nice to know that there is someone watching out for you.
As for now, please keep your fingers crossed that I can get back to work soon! I don't like sitting around much, I have always needed to be doing something. And for those of you who have already prayed and helped so much- Thank you and keep up the good work. I love you so much for it!

Hi Julie! I've been thinking for days about how to reply and wish I had some wonderful insight or at least something funny to share that would bring some sort of value to your situation. But alas, I'm at a loss and so I just wanted to say that i'm sorry for you and I believe better things are to come for you because you're so awesome! And you're very lucky to have a great husband, family, and friends and we're likewise very lucky to have you! I know i'm a failure at getting together but just know that I think about you guys all the time and i love you and i'm wishing you nothing but great things as you look for something more suited for you! I'm moving this weekend so probably the 6th we'll be having a shindig so I'll keep you posted and I hope you're free!
Love always,
Lindsey
