JUST GRATEFUL!!!

OK, so about 3 weeks ago Dan got a job teaching at a college just down the road. He is LOVING every minute of it! There was some drama going on when he started tho..Of course right!...So, here's the background: I guess the professors at this college were getting into some lazy and bad habits so they hired a new Director of Education about 6 months ago. This new director has cracked down on the rules and is trying to clean house now...I guess she has told some of them to clean up their act or find another job..pretty much! So last Wednesday, Dan comes into work and gets pulled into the director's office...he's thinkin' uh oh...turns out, earlier that morning, she fired the guy that hired him! She said she got rid of that guy and wanted Dan to take his position: The HEAD OF DEPARTMENT!!!!!!(its the medical something department...I can't remember the exact name of his dept...)but Holy cow....ya..so he is super excited to say the least! I mean who gets promoted 2.5 weeks after getting hired! What an amazing hubby I have! Seriously, its the blessings that come from paying tithing! We are just sooooo grateful for all these blessings from obeying the simple things we're asked to do! Life is so amazing right now! I'm just so happy for Dan! He so deserves this and I'm so proud of him! Love you babe!

Dan's job update!!

By request....ChRIsAnNA!...;) I am giving ya all an update even though I don't have ANY pictures to go with it..I never post unless i have pictures..But a big change has occured that we're SUPER happy about; Dan got a new job!!! WUHOOOOOOO!!!! Dan used to be an anesthesia tech and Lake Forest Hospital and was HATING everyday (not the work, just his co-workers). So, he has been frantically searching for ANY other job for the past several months until he goes back to grad school in the fall. This past Friday night he got a call saying he got the job for a teaching position at a community college in Skokie(by the temple) with TWICE the pay he was getting at the hospital! He's teaching Anatomy and Phisiology aka his DREAM JOB(for now at least!) He is soooo stoked and loving every minute! He started Monday and will have long days...But at least its only Mon-Thurs. Yay for long weekends! I'm soooo happy for him! I told him it won't sink in for me until that 1st paycheck...;) haha. That's the latest so far..no word from any schools wanting him to attend thier school...so we'll just keep on praying for that! All we need is ONE yes! Keep your fingers crossed he gets in somewhere.:)
