We're coming home :)

It's been a while since I've posted and let me tell ya, a lot has happened! A few weeks ago, a friend told Josh about a job opening at Prince Drug in Fort Smith. He was still trying to recover from his injury and had just gone back to work at USA, so he asked around about the position and kind of shrugged it off. A week later, Prince Drug management called Josh and really wanted to talk to him about the position. We went to Fort Smith last Saturday and Josh went in to talk to the owner. He was very negative about it and basically felt it would be a waste of his time, thinking they would expect him to buy into the company. Obviously, we can't do that right now after all that's happened to us. Anyway, my mom and I kept telling just be positive about it! He went on in to the store and was there for over an hour talking to the guys! After he got done, he called me and said, "I feel really good about it!" We of course said, "I told you so!" We talked about it, prayed about it, and weighed the pros and cons. We decided IF they offered him the job, we would take it. The next day, Sunday at 1pm, they called and offered him the job! This is a huge answer to prayer!
Since we suffered the loss of Otis, I have prayed and prayed that God would send us something to get us back home. After all we've been through, all I want is to be close to our families. This job fell in our laps and could not have been anything other than a gift from God. It is better money, better hours, an independent pharmacy with opportunity to own when ready, much better opportunity for Josh.
Anyway, we are moving this weekend!! We will be staying primarily with Josh's parents, but some with mine as well until our townhome here rents out and we find a house to rent. (If any of you know of a nice 3bd 2bath home with fenced in backyard for rent in the FSM/VB area, please let me know!)
So, we have A LOT going on in our lives right now, more than meets the eye, and we need all the prayer we can get! I can't wait to update you all in a few weeks after we get settled back at "home". :)

Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts! Keep em coming!
