Job Loss

[Jen]

Could you guys keep my family in your thoughts and prayers? My husband Dave, lost his job last Friday.

He's currently looking for work in the oil field now, which is really booming now in Texas. He has several leads... nothing has panned out yet, but it's only been a few days. If he does get a job working for an oil company it will very likely take him away from Aaron and I, for long periods of time.  Aaron is only 21 months old. We're not looking forward to that but at the moment it's a much better option than having no job at all. You gotta do what ya gotta do... I know Rico understands that.

Sorry... just venting. I'm still working and that's good.

Good luck to you Jen.  I don't know you very well but from what I can tell, your family's bond is very strong and you will both get through these trials with love and faith.  Bad times make the good times so much sweeter.

Really sorry to hear Jen. I hope things work out for you guys and Dave can find a position that will keep him close to home.

Good luck.  I know there are lots of jobs in that field now - but they are usually remote and require being away from the family.  Double edged sword...

Oh no, so sorry to hear that Jen, will chat with you later.

Sorry to hear this news Jen. We will be thinking of you both, we know how you must be feeling. Laura lost her job a few months ago and she's still looking.

Keep your chin up.

Sorry to hear about Dave's job.  I certainly know how that feels and wish you guys the very best.  As far as working farther from home, it can be hard but maybe not as bad as some might think.  Just hang in there and I'm sure everything will work out in the end.  Feel free to vent over here anytime too!  I also find it makes things better after letting things out.  Just ask my wife Lynn.  She is a very good venting listener for me.  :)

So sorry Jen, but it sounds like Dave's prospects are good. We will keep you guy in our thoughts and prayers!

[Ktrek]

What a bum break Jen but hopefully something will come up better than what he had. I'll be praying for you both!

Ugh, so crazy.   I know you guys will be ok.  You have a lot going for you.  You are both hard workers and are cool people.  I'm praying that doors open for Dave.  In the meantime if we can help in any way, Amy and I are here for you.  :)
