New Job

Last Wednesday our family joined the many, many American families who became unemployed. Gene was called into work on his day off to be informed that they could no longer have him as an employee. While we understood the reasons why he had to be let go, we were left worried and scared of what was to come. We have a baby on the way and a mortgage payment. Not to mention the need for health insurance!

After a small period of about 24 hours, Gene became employed again! I guess when you work with people all day it kind of gets the word out. One of the Sinclair stores he delivered milk to was in need of a manager in training. That means they needed to train somebody to be a manager for when another station opened up. How perfect! With Gene's background in convenience store operation, he was perfect for the job. He was hired on immediately without even an interview. He is training in Orem, but is in charge of the Sandy, Draper area...right where we live! So the next store that opens up around here, he gets to be the manager! They told him that one is opening up soon too! There is potential for more money to be made. We are excited for this new opportunity.

We were extremely blessed to have found something so fast. We pray for those who haven't been as fortunate as we have.
