Part three

Part one
Part two

So as I was saying, Thursday was the day they were going to be making a decision about the job. I waited by hubby's phone all day while he slept. I wanted it to ring SO bad. It didn't. He woke up a little after 3 and we talked about him calling if they don't call by 3:45. He didn't know if he wanted to because they said they'd call him and he HATES when people don't do as they say and mentioned he didn't want to work for people who didn't keep their word. I had been having this nagging thought that I should ASK God for the job instead of just waiting around hoping and hoping. I said I would but kept putting it off. Finally, around 3:15 I prayed,

"Okay God, sorry I keep running off. Will you PLEASE give this job to Sean. PLEASE! If it is okay with you, of course. Here are the reasons I think it would be good for our family: he would have normal hours 7A-4P Monday through Friday which would put him home with his family every evening and every weekend. We NEED that after this past year and a half of completely opposite schedules. He'd be making more which would allow us to tackle some debt and finally get a car that we can all four fit in. And he'd be doing something he actually enjoys doing-playing with airplanes. So please, if it is Your will, give him this job."

Easy peasy, simple as that. I can't believe I waited all day to ask. I'm such a loser.

30 minutes later Sean said he was going to call and asked if I'd come get the baby and take her to another room. As I was getting up to go get her from doing something with AK his phone rang and it was THE GUY! He asked Sean if he'd take the job and then told him he'd need to start on TUESDAY JUNE 1ST!!! Um, WHOA!

So needless to say we are now frantically trying to find a place to live in San Marcos...a place we really know nothing about. What I have gathered from my search is that it's a "college town" and a lot of the apartments rent out by the room. $530 for each bedroom? Are you kidding me?? Even $400 a room would be too steep for us. We would really like to live a tad but under what we could actually afford so that we can pay off student loans and get a car. So, we'll just see how it goes. I haven't really felt a "go" on any of the places I've found so far so it might be time for me to sit down and ask again.

I guess this week Sean will commute back and forth. Without traffic it takes a little over an hour but each day he'll be going through downtown Austin so I'm sure it will atleast be two hours one way. Since he gets off at 4 and most offices and stuff close at 5 he'll have a good hour to meet with people and check out places. I pray he finds something this week. I'll be searching and setting up places for him to check and he'll go take a look. I trust he CAN and WILL make the best decision for us so I'm not really too worried about not seeing it. Plus, he can take the point & shoot and take videos for me :-).

So, here we are. Packing boxes. Playing with our babies. Trying as hard as possible to enjoy this phase even though I'm ready to fast forward to our new residence, boxes unpacked and all things put away.

God is good. I feel so stupid for not trusting a lot of the times.

{Isabelle will be FOUR months old tomorrow. FOUR!!! Oh my goodness.}
{Tuesday is the day of the ultrasounds and testing for AK. Please pray for her AND me.}
