Just some random thoughts

Well, we are still waiting for our little one to be born. Starting this coming Tuesday this will be my longest pregnancy, which just seems a little weird to all of us, but we know that God is protecting our little one. One of Brian's co-workers made a comment to him the other day that "It has to be a girl, because if it were a boy he would be out by now. A girl on the other hand will only come out when she is good and ready!" I guess there may be some truth to that. We got a good chuckle out of it anyway.

Other than that, please continue to pray for Brian's job situation. We did find out last Friday that his last official day of employment is May 30, so that gives him some time yet, but I know this is all starting to wear on him. Like today for instance. He hasn't really heard anything about a job opportunity in about a week and a half to two weeks, which is much different that when this announcement first happened at the end of November, that from then through about mid to late January he was getting literally 6 recruiter calls A DAY, and very few actually in Minnesota compared to elsewhere. He has flown to Boston for a job interview, has talked with individuals in Miami (no thanks), Dallas, Atlanta, New Orleans (again, no thanks), Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, Indianapolis, Seattle, Las Vegas, Detroit and New York, and then today he talked with people from Northern California, Atlanta (again) and Virginia, and was contacted by email by recruiters from Los Angeles and Philadelphia. I know this is very hard for him, because he has wanted to move out of Minnesota for a long time, yet he also finds the thought of leaving very hard. We just enrolled our oldest son in K-4 (I can't believe he will be 5 in July already!), and then with the bed rest and getting through all the stuff going on at work, I know Brian is just mentally wiped out, and probably is just a little stressed out about everything, but honestly I don't think you would really know it. He is trying to be calm and understanding about everything, but I can tell that at times he has to be getting to a breaking point. But it is like he said the other day, now that he has his end date on paper, that is one less unknown he has to juggle.

Other than that, we are just waiting for spring to actually arrive. The last several weeks have been warm, then snowy, then warm, then snowy, then...well, you get the picture.

Anyway, I hope this blog finds you all in good health, good spirits and in a good relationship with God.
