Economic Hardship

We all know the economy is not so great. We have been hearing of job losses for months now. I knew there were many who were struggling, but I never imagined the bad economy would hit so close to our home. Starting at the end of November the hubby's job cut his hours down to one shift a week. Obviously that can cause a whole lot of problems for a household. Thankfully Chad was able to work for his dad for a week or two and a friend of mine had some work I could do for her. The best part of all of it was the time hubby got to spend at home. I loved having him here all the time. It was so much fun. Last week his work called and said someone had quit and he was being transferred to that department. What a huge relief! I was getting more and more worried as more time went by. So, this week his hours have been more where they should be and I miss him terribly! He is such a blessing to our family...more than I think he knows.

I have learned a lot of lessons lately...Lessons I hope I never have to re-learn! I know Heavenly Father is aware of us and He has blessed us greatly. What a year! I hope things are beginning to settle a bit. :)
