Well we're just swimming in good news around here, folks. We were delighted to tell you about our second little blessing last week, and this week, we're super excited -- and oh-so-relieved! -- to tell you that Kurt was offered a job at Nike. We felt like we each lost about ten pounds when we heard the news. As far too many of you know, being unemployed really starts to wear on you after awhile, even if you adapt and life seems to just move along. We had lots of question marks hanging over our heads -- a few too many for an overly anxious Type A uber-planner like myself. I was grumpy a lot of the time and not always as trusting and optimistic as a girl who loves Jesus should be. Saying that it was all worth it now that's it's all over would be a bit too rosy and a lot too untruthful, so I'll simply say that it was what it was and we'll accept this new job with grateful hearts and generous spirits.
Kurt will have to tell you more about what he will be doing, but what he won't say (so I will tell you) is that his new boss was very complimentary of him when he called to offer him the job. Kurt has lots of good experience in this field but not necessarily exactly the level of experience this team was looking for...and they wanted him anyway...in the middle of a nasty recession. I am so proud of him and so excited to see how he flourishes in this new position and what opportunities come his way. And we are both very excited to be a part of the Nike community. They have quite a reputation around here for taking care of their employees (and their employees' families), and the possibilities for growth and movement and challenge and adventure are exciting. His first day will be July 26, so we'll keep you posted on how things go. I will be going back down to part-time hours that same week, so it will be a big transition for all of us for sure.
Now to rebuild the wardrobe... Removing all of the stripes and trefoils from our closets and drawers has left quite a dent, so it'll be fun to slowly let the swooshes take over!
