What we are up to now...

So I wanted to give you a bit of an update on what we are doing now... 

After arriving in Maryland in August I posted my profile on Care.com, which is a networking website for nannies, families in need of childcare, housekeeping and more! After a few interviews and some weeks I landed the perfect job. For the past few months I have worked for a wonderful family who has one boy that I help care for on a part-time basis. The family has treated me so well and been so generous towards me. It wasn't long after I started that they then hired me for more hours to do the housekeeping in their home. So now I work for them about 24 hours a week. I was/am so thankful for my job but I wanted to do more to help bring in more finances. So, through care.com again, I picked up a small housekeeping job for 4-6 hours a week and then another nanny job for another few hours a week. The scheduling for the jobs work so perfectly together, allowing me to do all three. I must stay that I am very happy and content with the work that I have. Working within the home truly is my passion!

After arriving in Maryland, Curtis needed a job pretty much right away, realizing that he was the main "bread winner" for our home. So he applied to many different jobs and ended up getting hired at "Chick-fil-a" within 2 days. It really was amazing how fast they responded to his application and hired him on the spot. It seemed at first that this job would only be temporary until he found a better one in the field he preferred... But so far his boss has given him some generous raises and even some health insurance. And within about 2 months he was promoted to a manager position. Then shortly afterwards we find out that Chick-fil-a has their own mission organization... who would have thought! The more that we learn about them as an organization, the more we agree and are encouraged by the values they stand on and their heart behind the business... their passion for serving people! So we just wonder... God do you have something more for us here... We are not entirely sure yet... but we are just waiting and taking one step at a time.

We are so thankful for this season that we are in and embracing everyday!!!

Thanks for following our story!
