Tom's Job update...

So we have been going crazy with interviews! Finally! Interestingly enough, I know why.

Around here, I do the budgeting and balance the checkbook. Tom is the one that actually writes out checks and pays the bills. So the other day I am trying to figure out why there is so much money in our account and I find a stack of tithing checks! Like 3 months of them!! I gave him grief for that one. It doesn't count if you aren't actually paying it! LOL! So we sent in a big ole stack. I am sure our bishopric wasn't thrilled to process those.

However, a week later, Tom has 3 interviews! Right now he has taken a job at Home Depot working the 4am-8am shift. It was all they had and the benefits rock, he just only works 20 hours a week. He also took a job managing a kiosk at Stonebriar Mall. The owner is LDS and we are currently working out a possible partnership. Tom is thrilled with that possibility. I personally don't know much, but we are supposed to all meet this week and hammer out the details. So he is working there 30 hours a week.

He interviewed for a commercial sales position with Myers Pest Control and we still haven't heard anything. Tom knows the owners and was pretty confident that it went well. WE just know things always take longer than they say it will. He would work a normal weekday shift there. He would get a company car (YEAH!), gas card, medical, dental and vision benefits and it pays very well. If he gets this position, he will quit the Home Depot job, but keep the mall job. It will be insane if he is working 70-80 hours a week, but we will be able to get ourselves back on track much more quickly. I really want to finally pay off some things, like student loans! Go Dave Ramsey!

So he has been busy. The gas is killing us. We are filling up our tank almost 3 times a week. Ouch! It costs $70 a pop. If he doesn't get a job with a company car soon, we have talked about him getting a motorcycle. As much as I hate them, I don't see any other solution that would allow him to commute so much and have us not go flat broke again. We are waiting til we here for sure on the Myers job though.

So, keep praying! We know there is a reason for this crazy year and we have to have faith that things are moving forward and what will be, will be. We appreciate everyone's love and support!
