My blog title is Carly and the Boys, but I have spent a lot of time talking about my son and not my husband. Besides the birth of our son we have had a lot of change in our life lately. My husband decided a year ago that it would be best if he left his dual job as a Head Resident and Assistant Housing Director. His job provided a lot of securities for us such as free housing, no bills, etc. However, his job at Lipscomb was very taxing on his peace. He was working around the clock at two jobs. He worked 9am-5pm as the assistant housing director and then from 5pm-8am as a head resident. As you can see there wasn't much time for relaxing. We decided it would be best for the growth of our family to leave; however, we didn't factor in the economy. It is hard for anyone to get a job currently especially a Biblical Language/ Theology major. Joe spent his days looking for a more permanent job. He worked from May-Sept. doing part-time jobs subbing, consulting and printing. When my time at work was drawing to an end the stress in Joe increased. He knew with a baby on the way he was going to have to find a better job fast. Well, the search lead to a few dead ends. It wasn't till October when he got a led! He was doing some part-time work for his dad's printing business. His dad offered him a full-time job. Joe was unsteady at first. He never thought he would move back to his hometown. However, after much consideration he/ we decided it would be best for our family.
Joe has loved every moment of the printing business. He works 8:30-5 in the basement of the family home where the family business is located! He gets to spend time with his father (who is a great boss). All of this has been a blessing. Joe is continuing to pursue an M.Div., but it has be a process. It will all come together in time, but the plan for Joe and our family is a better plan than we could ever imagine.
