Let's Play Catch Up!!!!!!

On April 9th, Mary and Jennifer met Clay and I at a mall here in Huntsville and we spent a few hours together. My schedule was a little off kilter and my camera got left at home so Mary has promised to post pictures soon. Once she does, I will see what I can do. Clay and Jennifer had fun playing in the fountain and even now I will hear him start calling for Jennifer.

April 10th, Matt and I on the way to WalMart found out we were under a tornado warning. Matt being a storm tracker in the past as we were driving into the parking lot said that a cloud looked like a wall cloud and said to hurry in the store once we parked. I was the last one in as small swimming pools went flying. Matt and Clay were in front of me. We spent the next few minutes with everyone in the store in the middle. We found out later that it hit 6 miles south of us. God once again watching out for us. We continued to shop and Matt bought Clay his first bicycle and a Thomas the Train helmet.

We spent the day before Easter in Gadsden with Becky getting Clay his Easter outfit and lunch. We then went to Oxford. Clay got to dye easter eggs with David, Katy and Jacob. We had a great Easter and Clay enjoyed hunting easter eggs with Daddy and the other kids.

Since then we have found out that Matt's job is permanent and the contract was signed. We have found us a bigger apartment and will be moving in very soon. I am looking forward to that.

Matt was told at his last therapy appointment for his back that treatment will not be able to work as long as he is doing the type job he has. With that news comes the fact that his work load is going to increase and with other things going on he could end up having to be working and on call combined 24/7 /365 which goes totally against what we were told when we were hired. Life is not what we thought it would be. May God intervene and not let this happen or Clay, Matt and I will be miserable. Family is the most important to us but living is a necessity and so the job has to be kept until I can find one and get him in school so that I can keep his back from completely going out!! It is hard for me to find a job. I applied for a job at home which I was totally, completely qualified for and was told I was the only one that applied that had those qualifications. I called to see about the status of the interview and was told that they had reopened the job and was then told they found someone else. I guess with an almost 5 year gap it will take a very long time for me to find a job if I ever do. If not, I do know this. God will provide and Jeremiah 29:11 will once again be proven in our life.

Tuesday will be our 5th Anniversary and I am so looking forward to that day. The three of us together for another special occasion. Well, this is all we have for now and now I will attempt to upload pictures and videos for y'all to enjoy.
