Some of you know that my husband has been working as a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer for an avionics company for years now and is beyond miserable there. His stress level is effecting his health, his home life, EVERYTHING! Nothing is worth all that he's been going through. He's been actively looking for a new job for a couple of years now but ever since 9/11 the manufacturing industry, contrary to what Pres. Bush says, has been taking a nose dive. Those who are hiring are paying a lot less now and it's just been one wild goose chase after another when he's gotten a call for an interview or worked with a head hunter. Everything always ends up being a dead end. He's not in a position to make a total career change so manufacturing is it.

ANYWAY..... he's been contacted by a company to begin the interview process and the facility he'd be working in is literally 7 minutes from my parents house and would bring us 2 hours closer to his parents and our summer home (which we got to once this entire summer because Henry has been too exhausted to drive the 5 hours to get there!). It would mean putting our house on the market, moving etc. but I'm perfectly ok with that as long as it's after the Schaumburgh show at the end of the month! :crackup:

I'm honestly trying not to get my hopes up as we've been let down plenty of times. And this does sound almost too good to be true! But you all have no idea how desparately we need this to work this time. I'm afraid Henry is going to end up having a heart attack or nervous break down or both! He doesn't handle stree well and has become a very negative person. NOT the man I married at all!

Could you all pray, think good thoughts, cross your toes, whatever you can possibly manange to make this happen????? I normally wouldn't post publically about something like this but I'm thinking all the love and warm fuzzies and prayers from you all might help! It certainly helped pull my Dad and family through a very dificult time earlier this year!

Thank you!

Thanks, everyone! I know God has a plan but as usual bear_original He's taking his sweet time in revealing it to us! I think when Jesus ascended into heaven he forgot to tell God how different time goes by on earth than in Heaven! We don't have 'forever' here on earth! But in the end, I do trust Him and know things will turn out as they should! bear_thumb
