Update # azillion - LOL

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

Oh how I wish there was. The waiting to hear is the hard part. Need him to get it, praying that he will but NOT wishing for China. I was in a car wreck today - car in bad shape but everyone is fine - God is SO GOOD to me. He holds me up and will see us through no matter what!!!

Thank you for asking when I know that you have been dealing with your own heartache!!!

Jane, I am so glad you were not hurt today. A car can be replaced, but you can't. I hope you hear something soon one way or the other. Keep us posted.

Still keeping our fingers and paws crossed here for DH. So glad that you are ok after the accident. Cars can be replaced so glad it was only the car hurt. Hugs!
