Keep your fingers crossed...

Today was the day that Daryl "officially" (I use that word in quotes a lot don't I lol?) started looking for a new job. He had his resume updated, printed out on really nice paper and looked like a total stud heading out the door. The first place he went to took one look at his resume and grabbed someone to do an immediate interview right there on the spot. They said their lab manager just left for Phx and he would be perfect fit (he was already planning on just getting a lab technician title if he was lucky..he even thought he'd be stuck busing tables if he had to), but management! He has years of experience, but usually it's much harder to find a job like that...especially in Flagstaff. He could also do field work as well (I'm really hoping for a company truck..but we can't be too picky in this economy now can we). They are going to call his references and then if everything checks out, he's hired. He went to two other companies and they were giving him the whole song and dance of the winter is coming..so we won't have much work...really can't pay much...So the first place (I forget the name), calls him later today and told him the pay range obviously won't be nowhere near what it was before, but it will be more than he thought, so of course we were all elated at that. In addition to our usual bills, we will actually have some spending money..hooray! Sure we spend now, but at least it won't be on the credit card lol. We should know more in the next day or two. The place is also about a 15 mins drive from the house which is awesome! At least he will get to go with Tatum on her first day of school on Thurs. It might be the last time for a while where he'll be able to do that now that he'll be a working man again. We have been so spoiled having him home (or should I say I've been spoiled). You always have to look at the positive when the negative comes around. The biggest thing that has come from all of this is Corbin. He has come such a long way. I really feel that with the combination of his therapies (speech and OT at school), his preschool and having his daddy around ALL THE TIME, has helped so much. And now of course we are living in Flagstaff (which probably wouldn't have happened had he not lost his job). Everything is really falling into place around here and we really feel like this was meant to be. The timing couldn't have been more perfect!
