Chris left just a few minutes ago to head to the airport...I miss him already. He has a 3rd interview in the morning in Chicago. He, also, has a phone interview at 10 AM today with another company. Both positions would not require us to relocate, so you know that I've been praying hard.
He's due to start the South Carolina position on Tuesday. We're both getting a little frustrated with the company because they were supposed to send Chris his offer package either on Monday or Tuesday and here it is Thursday and nothing has arrived yet. Also, he's supposed to attend a regional meeting in Charlotte, NC. on Tuesday and Wednesday and his boss told him on Monday that he'd e-mail him the itinerary for the week...still nothing. Chris just wants to have all his ducks in a row and you'd think that with him being the new man on the block, they would make every effort to keep him informed.
Next week is definitely going to be very different. I've grown so used to having Chris home every day for the past 10 months. Though he's traveled about 3 nights out of every week during our 22 year marriage, the sudden change is going to be difficult. I've enjoyed waking up with him in the morning, then reading the paper together. I've enjoyed lying in bed with him each night watching our favorite TV shows. It's just been nice to have him all to myself. We've been through a tough and trying time that I wouldn't wish on anyone. However, I think it's made us stronger as a couple. Many couples, unfortunately, can't say the same.
So, whatever God has in store for Chris and for our family, I know in my heart that we'll be OK. What matters most is that we have each other.

Praying that God will lead your hubby to right where He wants him ... and for a good measure of peace while you wait.
Hmm... wonder if its God working there not letting him get the package yet? Stuff like that makes you wonder, doesnt it? ...
Still praying for peace in the whole situation for you all!
I was thinking the same thing Rebecca was... :)
Even though being without a job must be stressful, I'm glad you have made it a sort of mini mid lfe honeymoon. Good job!
I need organization! I get very flustered if things to go right. So not getting the packages promised would drive me NUTS!
Good Luck on his interviews! I am sure all will go well.
Love that quote. I know everything WILL work out just as it should. Hope the interviews go well!
Good luck with everything, April!
it sounds like God has used this time with him home to draw you closer. what a blessing that is. you are right, a lot of couples couldn't say the same. i love how God works... He has got you covered.
I love your Godly attitude even in the middle of such frustration. That's what will keep you all!
God bless and praying for ya!
Praying for you April! This is an exciting but nerve wracking time. Thank you for sharing this with others as it is an encouragement and a testament of your faith. God has great things in store for you!:) Lori
What a sweet testimony you are in the midst of such a time as this. Praying that peace surrounds you at this time and that everything will come together just as it should. A "zippity do dah day" to you!
Maybe this company's delay is God opening another door? Praying.
You definitely have my thoughts and prayers coming your way, girl.
I love how you and Chris are such a team. Very refreshing.
You know, April, this job that Chris just got really, really sounds like the wrong one! Goodness, but the red flags are saying, "Don't go into the water!" Praying that you either receive confirmation that all is as it should be or the confidence that one of the other things is the RIGHT thing.
So are ya'll going to move when summer comes or is he just going to stick with the S Carolina position until something better comes?
Being in the middle and not having control is difficult. Having the sweet understanding that all will come in time with prayer, each other and lots of deep breaths is priceless.
I pray that the positions that would keep you from movie come through. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
