We've been blessed!

So, I don't want to 'jump the gun' and blurt the good news out too soon but....
STEPHEN GOT A NEW JOB!

This has been a horrible week, let me tell ya.. For the last month or two Stephen's hours have been getting significantly cut. When we decided we would be able to afford an apartment Stephen was getting around 35-40 hrs a week.. This last week he was cut down to 16 hours a week. 16 HOURS A WEEK..

This week Stephen also found out I don't do well with Stress. :o)

Aside from doing hair part time I reception part time at a salon in Vancouver. It's a PART TIME, minimum wage job. If I weren't also doing hair, basically we would have been.. well,... screwed. Not only was I stressed over money but I was just upset at the thought of Stephen feeling upset and disappointed in himself. I didn't want him to feel that way. We've been praying praying and praying for a new job opportunity. Everything Stephen was applying for just wasn't working out. Finally just yesterday Stephen got a call from a security company called Securitas he had applied to online sometime last week. Turns out, deep down this is the job he really wanted. He wants to be a police officer and so while this is kinda close to that it'll give him a little experience. The lady that called him wanted him to come in and interview.. "well when can I come in" Turns out she had a cancellation and COULD GET HIM IN THAT DAY AT 2:30! What a blessing... After he was done with her he had to meet with another lady. "well I can just work late, if you can come in right now that would be great" Umm.. HELLO! Another blessing! Then the second lady told Stephen she had just the place for him. It was a location closer to where we live and it's day time hours. He'll be working from 40 to 60 hours a week... WITH BENEFITS! After all this happened, Stephen call me at work and told me all that had happened; I was in shock. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much! We have so much to be thankful for!
