Okay, what's next?

Michael starts his new job in Irving on Tuesday. It will be a commute for him of 35-45 minutes both ways depending on traffic. We are looking forward to having the stability and predictability of a large company again. Of course, we understand that nothing is truly stable in this market but hopefully you get what I mean.

Mom came to visit and we had a great time. She had lots of time for tea parties, book reading, general hanging out and fun.

Megan was diagnosed on Thursday with influenza type A. We won't miss our flu shots next year for sure. Megan, Jacob and Michael (and possible my mom) are on Tamiflu. They said I really have no hope, and as expected I am felling "wiggly" this morning.

I have decided (with Michael blessing) to pursue the mortgage business again. We have the brokers license and all the resources we need but Michael won't be able to pursue it as he will be working for a mortgage company. I am actually pretty excited about it. I have been putting flyers in mailboxes and going to visit builders and showing them some of our programs. I will be doing it part time while Megan is in school. If it get busy I will put Jake in a 2 day preschool and really put some more work into it. After I get some business in (mom will originate the loans per the law) I will go to the 3 day class then take the test for my license. My main focus will still be my favorite job of Mommy!

Keep checking on us, there are big things to come...I'm sure!

Deal!

They offered, we countered, they came back with their final offer and we said "DEAL". Michael starts his new job at Avelo Mortgage in Irving on the 19th. It is so nice to have that process over. THANK YOU for praying for us. God is good.

Yeehaw!

Michael got the job offer this evening!!! More details to follow on Monday. Also, Michael had a great Birthday today, thanks to all who called or emailed. God is good.
