God's Plan

The Past 2 months for our family have been... lets say eventful to say the least. About the middle of August, Todd found out some bad news with his company and unfortunately they cut out his postion and he got layed off of his job. This was devasting and hard on Todd to feel the way he did. He loved the company he worked for and his boss really liked him and said it was not her decision to do what the company decided. I remember that at the moment this happened, Todd and I cried, Held each other for a bit, Prayed, then got right on the phones and internet to see what options he had and looked for jobs. The past two months Todd did get the option with the company to work for them til the 20th of September, so that is what he did. Day in and day out he worked, then went straight on to job hunt til bedtime each day. When the 20th of september came, there had been little but no luck on a new job. We came to the decision to move out of our apartment and stay with his parents for a little bit to still be able to provide for maddie. We are so grateful to have the family support and help that we do. Without them it would have been alot worse for us to handle. We got all moved into the basement and settled in. We continued to do our best with me continuing with my CNA program classes and Todd ended up interviewing alot lately and came across 2 possibilities and had a great feeling for each of them. One was a pricing analasyst position here in Salt Lake Utah. The other was a junior analasyst postion in Hutchinson Kansas. Time was going and these were the Jobs that it boiled down to. Yesterday morning all of Todds searching and stress came to an end. The hiring manager at Kroger Smiths Coorperate offices called Todd in the morning to offer him the position as a Pricing analasyst specialist for the company! We were SO happy and SO grateful for this wonderful oppurtunity!! Again, Todd getting laid off at the time was devestating and hard to deal with. But as things happened and other doors were opened, we see that God has his plan for us to do what we are suppose to do. Getting Layed off from one job directed Todd to a bigger and better oppurtunity for him and our family. We are so grateful for the things in our lives and the family and friend support we have through all of this. We are going on with bigger and better oppurtunities because of Gods plan. Im so thankful for Todd and the hardworker he is. We both are excited for the future and our unexpected turns we will take to better ourselves and our family!
