In light of recent events: let’s compare our game plan with that of actual events.
PLAN:
A monthly pay plan to pay off debt for the van and credit card by the end of the year.
Jeff to look for a new job while continuing employment
Enjoy the comforts of modern technology with no worries of loss of income
Actual:
Unemployment - time to look for a new job
Small bouts of panic for what the future holds – will we move, stay, or now what? (if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear. While I felt pretty prepared for this, I wasn’t quite there. Still nervous)
Severance and taxes are enough to pay off the debt
New job – starts Monday 3/28
Satellite TV – gone. It’s time to re-find what really matters and spend more time together as family, not in front of the TV.
Blessings come not in the way we want, but the way we need.

So happy for you and your family! What great news about a job so quickly:-) I always love your outlook on life...so positive and faithful!!!
Great news! We have been worried about you guys and keeping you in our prayers. I guess you will be staying in Phoenix, huh?
So glad Jeff found a new job so quickly! You have the best attitude. I could learn from you (wait I thought because I am older I am suppose to be wiser...hmmm)!
Oh I am so happy for you guys. It is always good news to hear that friends are doing okay. You have such a great, positive attitude. It is refreshing to hear your perspective. I have always admired the fact that you are great at putting together meals for so cheap. Thanks for your example and friendship.
