You've got mail.....

You’ve got mail…….a package? A job? That is what Russ and I have been anticipating for the last 2 weeks. Russ had a guy call from Hill Air Force Base saying that he might be hired on to work on his team in making part of the rockets that fly to space! Sweet ‘eh!!! This is the idea job that Russ is looking for and we have been hoping, praying, and trying to have faith that it will come. Everyday we check the mail….nothing. Day after day, either of us would go to the mail hoping that a package would come with an offer, but nothing yet. Monday I was on my way home from taking Whit to the Doctors, since she has been sick, and I saw the mail man approaching out house. I just had this feeling that the package would be there today. While I was taking Whit inside from the car, Russ called and told me to check the mail….exactly what I was planning on doing after seeing the mailman. We went to the mail box and lo and behold…..there was nothing. Dang it! I have had such anxiety over this and have tried to have faith that he gets this, cause we’d stay in Utah, I could quit my job and just be a mom. That’s what I want to bad. Plus I know that Russ wants this job so bad! It’s the coolest job ever and would be great pay! He would love it. Well I was in the other room on the computer when Russ told me to come in the other room right a way. He was doing his homework on his computer and told me to read this email. I looked, read, then screamed!! I hugged my hubby and jumped up and down!! RUSS GOT THE JOB!! He got the job…..I couldn’t believe it!! It came in an email, not the mail. I am so happy for him!! Russ is just so ecstatic to have this position at Hill!! Russ starts his new job just after we get back from Florida!! Our prayers were answered and life is beautiful!!
