Finally...

...after roughly eight months of inconsistent work and job searching, Scott started a new full time position today with Jean Brook's Landscape Construction Company that he secured back on Feburary 10

I was looking through some of my old blogs this morning and came across what I wrote for his 30th birthday, the day MIT turned him down after a second hopeful interview:

"Today, my sweetheart turns 30. ' "If you're lost and you look, you will find me, time after time. If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting, time after time..." ' There's a job out there with your name on it. Love you, Boo." I was just struck by the simplicity of my words to Scott and the weighty situation they were hung on. That 'job out there with [his] name on it' was a long, hard wait. He has been down for so long--I'm sure I'll never know what it feels like for a man to not have a steady job.
So, onwards we climb! What a long-anticipated day. I hope its everything you need...

Thank you, God!! What an enormous answer to prayer. I remember when Carl was unemployed for 6 months when Scott was only 6 years old. When it was all over and he had once again secured a job, I said, "I wouldn't ever want to go through that again, but I wouldn't trade what I learned about myself and my God for anything." We celebrate with both of you today. Thank you for your blog, Jayme!!
See you soon:)

God has provisions we know not of, more than we can ask or imagine. God is good!

*to respond to your comment: no, I didn't give espresso up for lent I just wanted to get rid of the immunity I developed to caffeine. Therefore I did not drink any coffee for a few days and have only drank regular coffee since then. :)
I could make you a strawberry banana tofu smoothie when you are in town!

LOVE YOU!

Did you arrive home in time to get enough sleep for your morning class? Are you feeling healthy again? I'm so glad you could come home for Easter and be here for Annabelle's first birthday party. "Thank you" is not enough for the loving blanket you made for her. She's slept with it every night and nap since. I think she knows that you made it for her and infused it with love and prayers. I love you dearest sister.
I hope this second, longer half of your semester is enjoyable and that you approach each task refreshed.
Talk soon!
