Day 4: God Opens a Window

The phone call came around 11:30, while I was waiting for Shawn to get back from having his car towed home. It was Sandvich Industries, wanting to schedule an interview! The guy was free that afternoon, so I made Shawn an appointment for 2:30. He came home with the Jeep, showered and was out the door again.

He called me on the way home and sounded optimistic.... then had a phone call on the other line. It was Sandvich, offering him a job! Not just any job, but one with lots of room for advancement... and starting salary at 3/4 of what I make! Things can only go up from here, but it looks like we will have more than enough money to live comfortably.

Praise the Lord.

We went to dinner with his parents to celebrate, and they offered a gracious gift. They would help us with a car! His Dad offered to pay the down payment and help us get a vehicle for Shawn to get back and forth to work in. Shawn and I are both so lucky to have such wonderful parents that can and will help us when we need it.

So now, we have an absolutely beautiful 2007 Saturn Vue sitting in the driveway. It is black with grey interior and is GREAT on gas mileage which will be nice for Shawn traveling back and forth to Alachua each day.

Shawn starts his new job on Monday, so this is his last weekend of "freedom!" I took next week off of work to be there to help make the adjustment a little easier for Madalyn. So we are swapping roles me as a stay at home mommy (temporarily!) and him working. It will be quite an interesting week!
