Well, I've been the only one working for about a year and a half now. Trev's been finishing school and interning at a local venue and recording studio. Got to work Friday, and quickly found out they were having another lay-off, but this time it included me. It was the third one since January that they've had. I worked with some very respectable, great guys. I hope that the company can pull out of this economy and they will get to keep their jobs. I wasn't sad about not having a job, but I cried when I drove away. Sometimes you don't realize how much your co-workers mean to you until you aren't going to see them any more. I wish them all the best of luck. Trev and I really feel like everything will work out, but it's still hard not to worry a little when you have zero income, and aren't sure where the next will come from. As so many, many people have experienced this last year. We're staying hopeful though and still have more blessings than we can count. (But it won't hurt for all of you to keep your fingers crossed for Trevor's interview he's got this Friday)
So for now I am officially a stay at home mom (with a little different dynamics since Trev's home too). I've been wanting this for SO long now! Yesterday was my first day and I got overwhealmed with all of the things that I've been wanting to do for the last year and a half. It's funny how the grass is always greener on the other side. I have an incredible pull to stay home. I miss the boys more than I can explain EVERY day I go to work. But isn't funny that I'm almost not sure what to do with myself now. I want to enrich their lives so much. I want to finish unpacking our boxes. I want to organize everything in the house... and keep it clean. I want to get the nursery ready for the baby. I want to serve others. I want to have play dates. I want to go to reading time at the library. I want to take time to read myself. I want to journal. I want to scrapbook. The list goes on and on. I remember before I worked I got so tired of being at home, I was almost bored. Now there's not enough time (or energy) in a day.
But either way I know that I get to be home with the boys and rest a little bit more if this baby needs me to. I'm so grateful to have such a happy little family. I know most people would get sick of all being home everyday together, but we love to have the chance to spend time together!

Heavenly Father works in different ways doesn't he? Glad to see you're keeping a good perspective, and enjoying staying at home! Its so fun huh!? Too bad we didn't live closer so that we could stay at home together!
I agree with the last comment. This could be just what your family wants. I'm glad you get to be a stay at home mom, and you don't have to have any remorse over leaving your job! Perfect!
I'm sorry honey! I know it's hard but you just have to remember that the Lord's plan for us is greater than our own plan. This stupid economy! I know that the boys will LOVE having you home, and you'll figure the routine out soon, I promise. I feel the exact same way! There's so much I want to do but not enough energy! Just take one day at a time! And call me if you need me.
For the record, you two have become a little like hero's to me. I admire your little family so much! I mean, you are married to Trevor! Anyone that can make that work must be amazing! HAHA, seriously though, love you guys, your in my prayers. Uspek Trevgor.
Wow! I didnt know that! I'm so glad you get to stay home though! So, has Trevor been on the job hunt?
