April 27th, 2009. The day of infamy that turned our lives upside down. Who knew that the next two years would bring so many challenges and change? I will never take Zak's employment for granted again. I thank my Father in Heaven every day for a steady job. But, truth be told, I've also been asking that he blesses us with a steady job somewhere else. Ha.
Today we commemorate that day with a self-reliance activity--canning strawberry jam. Not something we've ever done before (freezer jam is so much easier!), but if Zak ever gets laid off again, at least we can survive on PB&J.
P.S.-I packed my first box today. I've decided that if I start loading boxes maybe a job will come. Hey, it worked in Field of Dreams.

Wow! Two years already? That went fast (for me, anyway).
My trick for getting a job-offer-where-you-have-to-move-across-the-country-like-yesterday? Completely give up on the idea that it's going to happen anytime soon, stop organizing your house, take a class you won't be able to finish if you move, renew a phone contract you won't be able to use if you move, and then tell everyone you know that you will most definitely NOT be moving for a long, long time.
Works like a charm. Promise.
I can't believe it has only been two years. From my view it seems like much longer than that. You have been through a lot of tough things in those two years, but I am so impressed with how you stay strong and keep writing fun blog posts :) Hope that dream job comes along soon...
hope it works!
