Congrats to Luis!

It's official. Luis got the job with RMS Group and we will be moving back to the LA area. We do not know the actual location of the job he will be working on, so our actual place of residence is still to be determined. He tried calling the company one Friday because he still hadn't heard from them but only got voicemails. We figured they had started the Labor day holiday early. So he planned on calling them this morning, but they beat him to it! They called to ask why he hadn't responded to the job offer they had emailed last week... twice! He never got one! So they checked the email address and he finally got it! It is an amazing offer! The Lord really does look out for us. We were caught off gaurd by how good the offer was, more than we were ever expecting!!! He accepted of course, and negotiated some moving expenses to be included. I am so proud of him. The company loves him and he is really excited about the opportunity to progress within the company and help the company grow! I'm glad he can now put to use that MBA we paid for :) They need him there by Sept 12, which is this coming Monday. He will be leaving on Thurdsay morning... yes, less than 48 hours from now... I am kind of freaking out but there really isn't that much I can do. Luis has things he needs to wrap up on this end, but as far as packing, all he is taking is clothes, air mattress and sheets, laptop, folding chairs/table, and construction manuals! And maybe our microwave for all those Lean Cuisines he will be eating :) And yes... all of this will fit into his Pontiac Grand Prix... thank goodness for full-size sedans! The boys and I will probably stay here for a few months... I am hoping to be out there by Thanksgiving. I am staying behind because, 1. We don't know where we will be living, 2. There just isn't enough time for us to get our entire household into a moving van in 2 days and 3. this will give us the chance to save up a great deal of money to help pay off some debt. We are very excited about that last one!

We are very excited and can't wait to see all our family in California. We will miss Silvia and Lew and the family here of course... my boys have gotten very used to having Grandma and Papa Lew around. We are grateful to be able to put to test the lessons we have learned through our trials the past 2 years! Sometimes it was really hard and having faith didn't come as easily as it did at other times, but we made it and trusted in God the whole time. We are so thankful for the blessings we have received and that are yet to come! Love you all, thanks for your support!
