No Jobs

Well it happened to us. Josh just got laid off Friday unexpectedly. They company said they had work until summer so no one was worried. Josh's head boss didn't talk to him for a week and then hit him and 12 other men out of 40 that they were laid off. "That's why your boss could not look or talk to you" I said. Josh and his boss got along really good and Josh loved that job so it is sad. Now we are looking at our options. Josh has been out all morning job searching and nothing. I will start looking as well. He has already thought the army, and I have already thought about moving to a different state. So we will see how things come about. I don't want to lose the place we just got into. I love it here. But what can ya do. I hope everyone else is doing fine and doesn't have to worry. Stay safe and healthy. Much love!

Hey Amanda... Sorry to hear the bad news. That is what happened to Kai...so he joined the ARMY and is loving it. He talked to Uncle Dave and was given a lot of advice and things to look into before joining. If he is looking into just for the money...don't do it! Anyway...wish you guys luck...let me know if we can help in anyway!
Lots of love...Kimberlee

Holy Crap... I am so sorry! I don't know what to think about this economy. Good Luck! You will be in our prayers.

I hope you guys can find jobs!! You should really look into being an aide like me, cuz they are needed, and it's 9.69 an hour. It's not much, but better than any other part time job. Love you

Hey sis, I know that times are tough, but jobs are about the same in every state right now, and the thing about the ARMY would worry me. I respect all the ARMED FORCES, but I have a hard time with dads joining the ARMY. There was the teacher here that joined, was killed in Iraq, and now left two children fatherless. Look how hard it is for Josh to not have a father. Times will get better. You do what you have to do to survive. Flip burgers if you have to until something better comes along. You have a great family and we will always be here for you. Pray often, be thrifty, pay tithing. I know that you may not want to pay tithing, but we do and we always make it somehow. There are days that we dont know how the bills got paid, but they do. I have a very strong testimony of tithing and know that it gives you so many blessings that you dont even know what to do with all of them. I love you. I adore your family and love them also. Let me know if I cam do anything to help.

I totally know the feeling of moving out of a place you love! I had to give up my new home three months after purchasing and moving in! :( It will all work out! xoxox Karen
