In February of this year I had found out that I was going to be loosing my job because of some "restructuring" of the company. That brought on some fear and uncertainty of what was lying ahead being that it was the only job I have had since my kids were born, so the idea of working outside of the house was "FREAKY!" The last thing I wanted to do was put my kids in a daycare and have someone else raise them. At the same time our lease was up, and our Landlord wanted us to sign for another year, but we had no idea where we would be in a year being that Damon has been testing all over for the Police Dept. So, the conversation came up with my parents to move in with them meanwhile I would get a part time job, and Damon would continue to pursue the PD. (he still is working in Canby, so he gets to commute to work everyday....yeah him!, or should I say poor him!) I now work at WAMU, (now a part of Chase) as a float teller while the transition for WAMU to Chase happens. Its been fun, the kids get to hang out with my parents or brother while I work, so I don't have to "worry." Damon's testing has been CRAZY!! It seems like he's always testing for someone. He just recently took the Public Safety test for about 25 depts. so now we wait. He did really well on the test, so now its up to them (and God) as to what happens now, and where He wants up to be. So please be praying for us!!
Meanwhile....the family is doing great. Evan is almost four, Chloe has a loose tooth, and will be starting school this year!! AH! Where has the time gone!
Oh another note, I'm selling Suubi beads. I was fascinated by these paper beads when we were in Ethiopia, and was looking to find a way to spread them around the US, along with the stories of the women that make them. I haven't been able to get anything going with them yet, but in the meantime I have found Light Gives Heat, which helps raise money for the women in Uganda and their families. Each necklace is beautifully made, and comes packaged with a picture of one of the women that make them, and their story. All proceeds go directly to them, I just help spread the Hope. I have the following available. Prices do not include shipping. If you are interested in them please email me at dnsabbott@gmail.com and let me know which one. If you have any questions, please let me know. You will not be disappointed with these. They are beautiful!
