No baby yet. Hoping to wait until this weekend and then let's get this over with.
On Friday Joe came home early and told me some very bad news. His company that he works for took 4 people into a room and said "sorry, but our company is not making enough money so we are going to have to lay you off." So Joe was laid off without any warning and it started that day. What now? We have a baby due any minute, a house that has a down payment on it already and too much is planned for the next month. His job was kind enough (sorry you can't hear the sarcasm in my typing) to give two weeks severence pay and offered him Cobra insurance (which by the way cost most of his severence pay). The baby will be taken care of insurance wise, now we need to decide whether we back out of buying the house and lose the down payment money or just go through with it, with the possibility of Joe commuting to the big city to go to work.
The positive side to this is that Joe was unhappy where he was working and this gives him the opportunity to change and step up to a higher position. Also on Saturday we posted his resume on Monster.com and had about ten offers by the end of Tuesday. His cousin works for a really neat internet company that does websites and other software programs for some great clients: AZ Diamondbacks, Phoenix suns, Phelps Dodge, Phoenix Zoo just to name a few. Anyway Joe went to an interview yesterday and came home feeling everything went well and by that afternoon he recieved another phone call and has a job. Also the salary will be somewhere between 10%-20% increase from his last job. He started this morning and I am hoping everything is going well. I also have my fingers crossed that the company may be willing to let him work from home a couple of days a week so that we can keep the house. It is very internet based so......hopefully.
I need to move. I need to get out of this city and start a different life. One that revolves more around family and myself. I need to further education. I need a different social life. I need to play music again. I don't want to sound selfish but I want change. My fingers are crossed and hopefully we will get the information we need from Joe's new job today. Hopefully we will get some divine guidance soon so that if there isn't going to be change this way, then I will be able to accept it more easily and readily. Hopefully......

My mom told me about him losing his job. Its great that he already has a new one. Hopefully you will still get to move. You know, everything happens for a reason, and no matter what, no matter how hard it seems in the moment... it will make you a better person, as long as you let it.
We love you.
Now- PUSH! that baby out!
