Changes

This is what our family looked like when Ray
(Melissa said that we both look the same... both with less hair.. haha and Melissa has more hair!)

 started working here, at the Capitol, 16 years ago.


This Thursday, (May 31, 2012) is his last day.
He will start working here, June 1, 2012
at
Orange Commercial Credit.

In March I got an awful call while I was out shopping that Ray was getting laid off.  At first it was  scary and terrible and lots of tears were shed.  He had been there for so long that we didn't know anything else.

But like in all trials and challenges we realized how blessed we are.  He was given a long time (until at least the end of June) to be able to find a job.  He has so much vacation time accrued that we will get a double pay check for the next 3 months.  The timing couldn't of been better, either.  He gets his Bachelor's in Management Science from the University of Arizona on August 7th.  We are feeling very blessed and appreciative to all of our friends and family that have been praying for us, too.  We have felt your prayers!

So with mixed emotions... but mostly excited and happy we are looking forward to this new adventure in our life.  So we're wishing Ray good luck with his new job! 

Now for our next adventure....we can hardly wait until August when he is done with school (and we celebrate our 20 year Wedding anniversary)!
