So, I was laid off the last week of July...sad, but a blessing in disguise! I was really just saddened to leave such great people at my job, but knew that God had a plan for me and I needed to follow it. I have ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE since I left!! I am working though, from home, on a temporary assignment for an old co-worker of mine. We guess it will take about 2 months to complete, and that's if I work 40hours a week. It is pretty great cause I'm making good money and I'm doing something that isn't too difficult, just super time consuming. I have my struggles with it, but only because Emerson is SO BUSY! I wouldn't trade it for the world though.
Emerson is 8 months now and crawls everywhere, unless you are holding one of his hands and then he is walking everywhere. He loves to be active and explore all there is. Outside is probably his favorite. He doesn't even mind the grass and will just eat it up if I let him. It's awesome being home with him so much and seeing him grow up...especially in the warmth of the summer. I could really get used to this schedule!
David is working away at his new position. They are really giving him a lot to do and things will only get busier when "open enrollment" for his clients begin in September. It's ok though, we aren't complaining cause we know we both can't be unemployed! David is super smart and I never worry about whether he will learn something fast enough or not. He's so talented and willing to take on so much... I think ADP sees that too and that's why they count on him so much.
As for the bakery, it's still up in the air as to whether it's going to happen or not. I'm trying not to get too worried, cause really I am ok...for now. Vanessa is just having problems with the contractors and she is trying to work out those kinks. It looks like opening in September is WAY OFF and we just hope it happens by November now. We'll see. I'm still praying about whether that is where I'm supposed to be or not and I still get the same answer...yes. So, any other prayers people want to say, it would certainly be appreciated.
