Cautiously Optimistic


No work for over a year.

Savings ALL gone.

Line of credit on house extended almost to max.

Finally realized, after months of not paying ourselves, "Hey, we've paid unemployment insurance for 2o years. We could actually collect some of that now." Signed up.

Monday, received a contract for a small job in the mail.

Tuesday, got a call saying we were signed off and approved for another contract.

Today, a third contract verbally awarded.

So much for unemployment insurance payments. (But, yes. We'd rather be working.)

Nervous till I have three signed contracts in my files.

But cautiously optimistic...and smiling...

We're hoping things work out for you, too...no pun intended!

(We wish we felt like moving in with Grandma was the right thing for us to do...but it just didn't gel...who know what heavenly father has planned...but I'm it will be the right thing in the end!)

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
