One conversation....

will change our lives forever. Ryan has been courted by a company for about 5 months and they finally gave the green light to hire him. They came to an agreement on salary, start date, stock options, etc., but they wanted him to resign first due to politics between his current company and the new one. He felt confident they would come through, so he did it and they backed out. His current company was very upset with him, so, as it stands now, Ryan will be unemployed on April 11th. He is trying to get that date extended, so he can scramble to find another job.

We've had a lot of emotions in our house the last few days and we are settling into the unkown and feeling much better about it, but unemployment is a scary thought. We've been praying a lot and I know God has a plan for us and it is better than the plan we have for ourselves, so we just have to trust that he'll provide. Lots of lessons learned and probably more to learn and right now we are just trying to focus on the positive. Ryan has a lot of contacts and already has an interview tomorrow and we'll just take it day by day. I have also looked at the job market, but there's not much in human resources and with a gap of 8 years, I've realized I might not be that employable.

Funny how our lives have changed in one day and it makes you realize that all you had is all you ever wanted, but you can't get it back. God must have something better in mind....
P.S.  Unfortunately, this is not an April fool's joke :o(
