Dh made it through the first round of layoffs!!!!!! We are very excited and relieved. However, they are going to cut another 10% in June.

One good thing about this is that dh has realized that all this moving around and stuff is just not worth it. He made an 18 month commitment when he took this job and it is up in April. He is going to work on getting back in the sales channel and moving us back to Texas, where we will stay. I am really sick of moving every few years and knowing it isn't permanent. We have decided that it is best for dh to go back into sales, which he loves, and move somewhere where we know we will stay. I am very excited about his change of heart

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. You all are wonderful!
