Update # azillion - LOL

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Well - it has been over a year since the first post - thought I'd give you all an update.  Dh is still without work and we are starting to consider him "retired".  His info is out there but unless someone comes calling we are stopping the search ourselves.  He had two really great phone interviews with headhunters this week about two separate positions.  They both loved him - only took 6 hrs for the 1st to call back with "the company says they want a younger CEO"  and the second called back a few days later with "they won't chance you leaving - you're too over qualified".  Doesn't surprise me - but really - 59 is too old for a CEO?  What about experience?  Maturity?  Their loss!!!!  

So life will go on but in ways we might not have expected.  We are buying a lot in Punta Gorda on a canal - so that we can build a place and live the boating lifestyle.  We'll be able to have a fenced in yard for Rooney and Stuart so I'm very excited by that!!!!!  There are a couple of Churches in P.G. that I want to check out - so new things will come once this house sells.  THANK YOU ALL for your continued prayers!!!  Have a wonderful weekend.   Jane 

 

 

Could we ask for some extra prayer?  DH is flying to Houston on 3/22 for an interview!!!!  It is kinda a long shot but we would be so grateful for anything!  Thanks.

 

Hi all - just a small request - could you add DH and I to your prayer request.  I so believe in the power of prayer and the more the better!  My dh lost his job about 3-4 weeks ago and I'm trying to look at it as divine intervention.  His job had us living apart for the better part of the last 4-5 years and the stress had me worried about his health.  We are so much better off than most so I remain very grateful for what we have - health, our family, friends and of course the "boys" - Rooney, Stuart and our kitty.  I'm thinking this is a great way to get me and the boys out of Florida, away from the those gators - lol and into a yard with a fence!

At my dh's level (Sr. V.P. or CEO) jobs aren't something that you can find for yourself - they have to come looking for you - so he continues to network with headhunting companies and past associates.  It seems that there are many of us on DK in the "un-employment" phase - please remember all of them too.  Thanks so much!  Jane

Prayers being sent. Hoping that you get good news.

Praying.

Sandy thats right - you are there too, how could I forget?  I'd be thrilled to move to Texas!!!!!  I was there once in Austin, did San Antonio and the hill country - I loved it!!  The job in Houston (with the interview on the 22nd) is once again for the Chinese (insert big sigh) which I am not thrilled about but really at this point - ANYTHING please although as this is outside his expertise - a long shot.  The job in Plano is more in his line of work - but at this moment we do not know if he'll even get an interview, just the beginning stages of discussion.

THANK YOU ALL for your continued prayer - I know that God has a plan - I just wish he would hurry up - lol.  Laurie - I miss you guys on DK too.  I pop in once in a while with a comment or two (was so sorry to read of Shophie's passing) but am so busy with the wedding planning.  Plus I am here in Michigan without my doodles and going on DK just makes it harder for me.   I will see them in April for 2 weeks and then I'll be back for them in early June - then we will bring them to Michigan for the summer - IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO THEN MOVE TO TEXAS after dd's wedding in July!!!!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Hoping that it all works out just as you have described! 

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I would love to have you in Texas!!! Prayers are going up!!

[Sheila & Finnley]

That's what prayers are for, to be shared ! Keeping you and your husband in mine ♥

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

OMD Jane, I must have been living under a rock!  I am so sorry it has been such a difficult time for you and your family.  I knew I had not seen you on DK much, but I had no idea...

Praying that your husband finds the right job for your family and his interview on the 22nd is successful!  At least you don't have to worry about learning to speak "Texan"  if you move, you have Sandy and Doris to help you!!!

 

[Bonnie and Kona]

Just thinking of you and praying God opens the way and shines favor on your DH in his interview and the whole job-search process.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS!  Dh is flying to Houston today for his interview tomorrow.  I've got friends praying here also so when added to yours - well God is hearing us - we'll just have to wait to see what his plans are - lol. 

The job near Dallas is a no-go.  So many companies now a days will not interview you if you don't have a job at the moment.  Like if you are out of work something is wrong with you.  Dh is so talented so it is their loss but this puts more pressure on the interview tomorrow.  I'll keep you all posted!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Thanks for the update. Nothing is impossible for God. Praying!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Fingers crossed that all goes well and life can return to normal for your family!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Oh I've got a good feeling about tomorrow, Jane.
