Employed!

Trent just wrapped up his first week as a branch manager with KeyBank. Yippee! Hooray! Go hunny! We feel so blessed that he was only unemployed for a little over a month, especially in this economy -- and in the banking industry, no less. It was wonderful to have some real time together, even though it was a little stressful. And we definitely learned lessons we couldn't have learned any other way. In the end, we're just happy. And in all honesty, conditions are even better now than they were before Trent lost his job. Mostly, we are grateful that he doesn't have to travel for the next two years after all. Plus, the new bank is much closer (no more 45 min. commute), closes at 5 p.m. rather than 6 p.m., and doesn't have any Saturday hours. Bonus! It's nice to have Daddy around again. 

Thanks a million to all of you who have reached out in love and service and support to our family in our time of need. We feel blessed to know you and to have you in our lives. Whew! We made it through! We're (all) a good team. :) We know the Lord is truly aware of us, and our testimonies and our family are even stronger now because of what we have been through together. Life is good.
