I had to delete the picture so we don't get into more trouble with Doug's work.
It looks like he'll be going to "court" to beg for his job back. That'll be in 1 1/2 weeks. That means he'll have to travel to go there but we figured that if they don't give it back to him, then we did EVERYTHING we could and Heavenly Father must have something better for us.
You know, it's always easy to say to someone, "It'll work out, things will be okay." But then when you yourself are in that position, it feels a lot different. I know it'll work out, it's just the unkown that has me scared. How can there possibly be something better than the wage he was getting, the insurance, vacation time, overtime, M-F, with weekends and holidays, plus more? What makes me the most mad is that he has worked so hard to get to be a driver, 7 years, working two jobs, driving for 3 years, finally reaching top pay this February and then have it taken from us so quickly. I'm trying to stay positive but deep down in my gut I feel they won't give him his job back. My gut has been known to be wrong so I'm hoping it's just fear that has me feeling this way.
I know we're not the only ones who are jobless. The same day we got word that he was being let go, my good friends' husband was laid off from his job and she has a few other friends who are jobless as well. It really stinks!
I'm done venting and feeling sorry for myself now. The church is still true and there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

You can vent all you want. This is crazy stressful!! We are keeping our fingers crossed as well as keeping you in our prayers...but that still doesn't stop it from being crazy, crazy. Let us know how things go.
It's hard not to feel stressed. I know. But hang in there, Heavenly Father knows what's best and He has a plan for your family (and mine). Thanks again for the veggies. They'll taste great on my yummy dinner. :)
We wish you guys the best. I know how it is when you are in a situation and everybody tells you it will be ok and keep your chin up but its tough. Look at this way an early vacation. I know that's easy for me to say but what else is there to say except something to try and make you laugh. We love you guys and miss you lots. Keep us posted.
I am sorry to hear about this. I understand the stress you must be having. Give me a call if you need to talk. We are keeping you in our prayers.
