It's been so long since I have posted. However, to be honest, I haven't really felt like writing. Thanksgiving was good. We went to my sister's house and spent the day with my entire family. However, on the day after Thanksgiving, Shane lost his job. Therefore, it's been such a weird time for us. We have been searching for a new job and nothing seems to be working out. Shane has never had a hard time finding a job. However, with the economy....it's totally different right now. (The economy is the reason that he lost his job....the dealership is having severe difficulties and has let go of many employees.) Anyway, we thought that this might be a good time for Shane to explore a new line of work. Therefore, he has his resume' at several different places, along with some auto dealerships. We are really hoping that something works out soon. He has now been out of work for a week and a half and Christmas is coming. I haven't done any Christmas shopping and to be perfectly honest, I haven't felt like it.
On a positive side, we have had some wonderful family time lately. Typically, Shane works two evenings per week. Therefore, we don't always have a lot of time together. However, we have really taken advantage of the opportunity to be together. Last night, Trey had a special program at school titled "Night School". They brought in several nocturnal animals and had a variety of "night-time" activities for the parents and kids. All three of us enjoyed the festivities and we got some great pictures of the night. Trey was able to see an alligator. He pet a chinchilla, two snakes (YIKES!), two ferrets, and a variety of other creatures. He also made some art projects as well.
We are definitely praying that a wonderful job for Shane comes about this week. We would appreciate your prayers as well.
We hope that your Christmas season is happy and blessed. We know that everything happens for a reason and the Lord is watching over us. We are just trying to wait patiently for His perfect timing in this situation. He certainly blessed us with our wonderful little boy. He will most certainly take care of us during this time as well.

So sorry to hear about Shane's job. We will pray for a good job to be offered or made available to him. It is always hard to understand why we go through obstacles, but we have to focus on God and his plan for us!!
We will also pray for peace as I know it adds additional stress during the holidays.
Hi Kathy, I found your blog through another blog I read -- and just wanted to say hi. I am currently waiting for trip #2 in Vlad!
Sorry to hear about Shane's job. I live in Detroit, so unfortunately, I feel your struggle with the industry. Scary stuff. Hoping he'll hear something soon about a great lead.
