Blessings come even amidst trial...

Well, this week hasn't been the best week we have experienced by far-just tough. On top of it, it was a bummer to hear that our church was canceled for the 2nd week in a row and to know that sacrament won't be had for almost a month because we have stake conference next week. It is amazing to see, when you are without, how beautful and special the gift of the sacrament is. Well, our light at the end of the tunnel (or week rather)  came Friday, when we were delighted and overly blessed to find out that Mike has now been moved to outside sales at work! This has been coming for sometime but due to the economy has kept getting pushed back...you can't take a job on comission when there is no money to be made. Anyway, you may be thinking that things still don't look so good out there but this all came with more blessings. He now has 40 hours a week again-not less like it has been for almost a year- has been moved to salary pay and gets a truck from work-we get to sell our Taurus!!! Also, he has two years to move to the comission part-this means he can develop his area and make sure there is money to be made and then-on his time frame-can move to comission and we can actually make some money! This may be a bit confusing to some but it does make sense and it is really good news! I just wanted him to know how grateful our family is, and I am, for all his hard work and how he blesses our family each day with just being who he is! Thank you babe for loving us so much and for being such a diligent, patient and hard-hard worker. I love you and congrats!
