A Young Wife’s Tale

David has employment past our move date! At approximately the same time I was writing my last post, asking for prayers regarding David finding a job in Dallas, David’s boss told him they were making him a remote employee.

His company has never had a remote employee. The board has approved making him a remote part time employee for a three month trial period.

Betsey Johnson pajamas at Sam’s Club. Me want.

We survived our second week in New Jersey.

Monday when David came home from work, he said, “I put in a request to go to a training conference in Virginia. It’s Wednesday through Friday. They’ll never approve it on such short notice.”

Tuesday afternoon, David calls me and says, “Pack my bag. I’m leaving in three hours.”
