If you follow my blog, you probably know that my hubby, Dan-the-Man has been unemployed for the past 18 months. After working as a Pharmaceutical Rep for over 20 years, when he was laid off a year and a half ago we never dreamed it would take this long to find another good job.Dan-the-Man has spent the past 18 months substitute teaching and picking up any odd job he could find. I have been so proud of him for the way he has handled this. He has refused to let it destroy his self-esteem and rarely has a down day.
Well (drum roll please...) TODAY IT ALL ENDED! Yes, I know I am shouting! I mean to shout! I am shouting for JOY! Dan was offered a job today doing something he will love. We are so filled with gratitude right now we can hardly contain ourselves. In fact, if you thought you felt an earthquake a few hours ago, no worries. It was just the Pedersens in Utah celebrating!
MANY THANKS to all of you who have remembered us in your prayers. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.
Karen!!!! WONDERFUL news on so many levels!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to both of you. I too know how tough a layoff can be, although mine was after 5 years of loyalty to a company. It's tough but so glad you survived and prevailed!!
Go celebrate!!!
