DH got laid off and we went back home to Louisiana. We thought another job would start right away, so we didn't reactivate our Internet (one of the reasons I didn't post). Our Internet back home is fairly expensive, so we were trying to save every dime we could. Not getting any leads on the next job, we realized the internet was crucial for email. It's not like we could drive into town everyday to the local library to check our email. Gas is a fortune and we live so far out. We decided we'd reactivate, and DH started updating his resume and applying for jobs elsewhere.
Job searching and praying God would open doors was all we could do, and of course...WAIT! Oh how fun, right? :) Well, we didn't have to wait long. DH's resume was spotted on the internet and an email came through. It seemed too good to be true and a lil far fetched. The company wanted DH to relocate and be at work on Monday if he was interested in the job. It was Thursday evening. He just opted to ignore the email. It seemed a lil odd, because there wasn't much info and the email just said, we found your resume online. Well, we've received lots of those before and most of the time we just send them right to the delete box as they are typically insurance sales positions, door to door sales, and the like.
Friday morning DH got to thinking about the email again 'n told me about it. I basically said ...why not check into it? Just email them back and see what they say. It won't hurt anything either way. Within a few hours, he had received a phone call back and was heading to the nearest big town for drug testing! That night we hit the Wal-Mart for trunks to pack all our stuff in, packed all night long, and the next morning we were off to New Jersey for an 8-12 week job where DH works as a QA/QC building a solar farm!
New Jersey hasn't been near as nice as Tulsa, OK, but we're thankful to God everyday for the job. There have been lots of ups and downs... more downs than ups, actually but we're still looking up ... God is in control!
More details later... uh... maybe! I'm not too good about getting on this now that school has started! We stay very busy! We may have to start calling our homeschool the 'Home Away From Home' school! :) LOL!
Blessings,
