Job Update

I decided to put my resume out there and see what happens. The reason this decision is so difficult is the amount of money that's involved. It's rumored that they need people like me so badly that they're offering huge starting salaries. Enough that it would be college for everyone, huge savings, paid off cars, land, building a house, comfort, investments, anything we ever wanted. If a job that great comes along I don't want to feel like that idiot sitting on a winning lottery ticket. It's going to come down to the actual offer and if I even get one. I wouldn't work forever. The most would be 2 years, but I think one year is enough. I'm great with money and I would use it to benefit all of us and make sure we're covered in emergencies or anything.

Also... I can't go into too much detail, but the job would help people... very much. I would ROCK at it and I would be helping people and stopping others from wrong-doing.

See why this is so hard? I love my boys and I want to be home with them, but is this a sign from God? The odds of us ending up someplace where I could work were very slim. This base and one other were the only options. I have to wonder if maybe we're here for this reason. After all that suffering we're being blessed in outrageously wonderful ways. I knew things would be better for us, but God still amazes me with what He's been doing for us. Then I wonder "is this a test?" ... a massive temptation? What are the odds that our neighbor knows all about employment opportunities and is working in my field?

Anyway... it's lunchtime.

I understand. I would still be working if it wasn't for the deployment. One thing I found is that when I am working, I can't wait to get home, and weekends meant soo much more to me. I took advantage of every second of freetime, and for some reason I got more accomplished. I am sure you were like this when you were working. The thing is you will probably put your resume in and get the interview, and not be nervous becuase you don't need the job and then get the job. haha. isn't life funny that way.

yeah, it definitely sounds like one of those things where you at least need to apply and see what happens. :)

I would apply for sure,what can it hurt. If you don't you'll always wonder "what if..."

If I could get paid enough to really help out our family I would do it. For me I wouldn't get paid enough to make it worth it with day care. I would apply & then just pray that what is meant to be happens. Good luck & keep us updated!! :D

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
