Wow!

I just had to post to praise God for His faithfulness! He is ALWAYS faithful but sometimes it is that in your face faithfulness!

As most of you know Nick accepted a voluntary lay-off from Brown Shoe and was given May 1 as his last day. On Friday he got a new job! One week before his last day! And they want him to start May 4! So he won't miss a single work day!! The new job is at Centene which is in Clayton where he works now!

The best part is that he is SO excited about the new job. It is working with "cutting edge" technology that will really make his resume top notch! And it seems like a great and friendly company!

Thank you all so much for all of your prayers during this time! We are so blessed to have such amazing prayer warriors in our lives!
