…And into the oasis of hope!”
It is *so* crazy how things can change so quickly. A couple of months ago, Josh and I were stressing over more bills & less money while furiously applying for (almost) every job listed on Craigslist and in the classifieds. Now, we are jumping for joy and thanking God – We found jobs in Oklahoma City!! We will be working for the same company (Midland Mortgage) full time, better pay and medical benefits for both of us! God is AWESOME.
Rival packing his necessity: The Antler.
But, along with this amazing news came disappointing news as well: Last Wednesday, the cataract that has been on my right eye for years decided to break off and move to the front of my eye: THE DAY I WAS HIRED! Ugh. So, I’m having surgery October 10th to remove it…which was supposed to be both of our start dates at the new company.
So, we are pushing our start date to October 17th and have a week off for me to re-coup from the surgery and to get our new house in order. It’ll be nice to organize everything, clean & celebrate our one year anniversary *before* we have to worry about starting the new jobs. The duplex is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath with a fireplace and a small *fenced in* backyard! The dogs are going to love the extra room and I’m excited for a roaring fireplace in the winter time. 
We officially start living there next Saturday!
This Saturday though is Czech Day and I couldn’t be more excited!! I absolutely *love* seeing all of my family, celebrating our heritage and eating my traditional sauerkraut klobasy sandwich! YUM! I think I’m also going to sample a roasted ear of corn…they look scrumptious as well!
I hope all of you have a blessed weekend!
