Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. You get used to dodging the ones that come at you head on, but these curve balls can really throw you off course. Our curve ball came on Wednesday afternoon when Otto was informed that he had to be laid-off because there wasn't enough work. He was one of several people who were laid-off and there will be more people laid-off in January.
It came to us completely out of the blue and Otto didn't want to tell anyone at first, but now he has a game plan, a ton of contacts, lots of prayers behind him, and he feels as though it is okay that we tell people. So, consider yourself informed now.
I had a feeling that something was coming at us. We have been doing too good for quite a while now, and I know once you start getting comfortable, things start to go awry. We're okay. We have to make some adjustments, but I know that everything will work out fine. Otto has a lot of great contacts, he is a hard worker, and we have a ton of support.
So, we are adjusting. We are changing some of our plans, and we know that everything will work out for the best!
Funny, those curve balls can really shake things up!

Oh Megan, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you are feeling. John's on his third job this year already. When he lost his job the second time I was freaking out. But then he got offered this job working up north and it's been so awesome. The pay is amazing and while the schedule isn't ideal (10 days on, 4 off) it's actually worked out okay for us. Good luck with everything!
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm sure things will work out well in the end. Often life ends up better at the end of stuff like this than it otherwise had. We'll be praying for your family.
So sorry Megan! And right before Christmas too! I hope he finds something soon!! What does he do?
