Silver Linings

Our life is a little bit of crazy right now.  Some of you who are friends with us on facebook were following Lee's quest to find a new job.  We had some very hopeful situations.  One PBS job would have let us stay here and was a dream situation, others held the excitement of moving somewhere new and making a better living.  To sum those experiences up, he didn't end up getting any of those, and I bypassed one job opportunity here to hold out for a move that isn't going to come.  I think one thing I learned through this process is how close hope and despair are to each other and that you have to have faith that things will work out the way they need to...

Which brings us the present.  While none of the job opportunities worked out in our favor, Lee will not be left jobless and has the wonderful experience of continuing to provide for our family in a way that we never thought possible.  Through a series of events (that I believe are divinely inspired) we are buying a local business.  As of the 16th of this month, we will be the new owners of a business called Artistry Web.  The opportunity to buy the business practically fell in our lap and has worked out in amazing ways.  The business primarily focuses on fixing computers, but with Lee's experience, we are hoping to eventually expand it to include graphic and web design.  This is going to be one crazy journey as we hang onto our hats and get a crash course on how to run a business.

So even though our life is crazily unpredictable, but it is nice to know that we are being watched out for.  I realized that this opportunity doesn't end our trials in life, and may possibly even create bigger ones, but I am excited for the future and the potential that it holds.
