Not that she’s been anywhere else. I mean, it’s not like she’s home from a battlefield or jail or anything. But she is home from work.
God has blessed us and we figured out that, by tightening our belts just a little, Tammy could quit her job in Dallas and find something that, though it will pay less, will be closer to home! Tandy (not the computer company) was very good to Tammy, but between the 60 mile round trip through horrid traffic, the 5 AM alarm clock, and the… well… hostile work environment, it came to the point were the money just wasn’t worth it.
What’s even better, with our First Time Home Buyer tax credit, we have enough in savings that Tammy can take a month or so off before she starts looking for a job closer to home.
Having just finished her first full week without a job since High School, Tammy is doing great. She is just getting the tiniest tinge of cabin fever, but she’s loving getting up with me and hanging out in the mornings before I head to work. So far so good. Next week, she’s actually pretty booked up, between dentist visits, meeting to counsel and encourage youth, and volunteering at the church.
I’m so thankful that we were able to get her home. It was definitely a “God thing” and now, we trust that He will find her the perfect job when the time comes.
