Oh ME of little faith!

I should have known that as soon as I complained about being depressed or getting upset because of no job, the Lord swooped in once again and saved the situation!

Keith got a call on Friday from Regent University and they offered him the job! He is now the Academic Liaison for the undergraduate psychology department. It has a longer title, but I'm not sure what it is. They actually created a provisional position for him for the next 2 weeks, his real job starts on July 1st. They wanted to keep him from looking elsewhere for employment, so they created this position for him! Amazing! The position comes with a great many perks! We of course get benefits, but on top of that, Keith and I get free or discounted tuition. I can get my masters after all! And the one thing I'm the MOST excited for is that they reimburse for adoption! Keith and I have always wanted to adopt, its pretty important to us and its huge in Keith's family. We won't be able to adopt any time soon, but the thought that the reimbursement program is there is very exciting.

On top of the blessing of a job, we're moving out! We're moving to the house I grew up in on Smyrna Court. Justin Blizzard is moving in with us. It will be so nice to have "our own" place and we're excited, Keith especially, to have Justin living with us. He's like our brother, and whenever he would visit in the past, we always wished he would stay longer.

I found a job at a preschool for next year. Its a pretty sweet set up. I only work from 2:00 to 5:30 Monday through Friday and I get a monthly salary. There are 20 paid holidays and summers and weekends off, of course. I really didn't want to go back to work yet, but if we want to get ahead, like really ahead, I had to do something. Working with my mom wasn't working out because there weren't enough children to go around. I hope this is an easy job, I really hate the idea of not being with Indy all day, even though I still get to be with him in the morning. Maybe I can convince them that I want to only work M/W/F for the same salary? I dunno. It beats working Starbucks, where there is no set schedule, no weekends or holidays off...etc.

So things are looking up, finally! Thank God for teaching us patience and proving himself once again!
