So...if you live in Safford, you heard about the big layoff they had at Freeport on Monday. 1,550 hard-working men and women lost their jobs. Many who had been with the company (formerly Phelps Dodge) for years, building up a retirement, not thinking they would ever have to look for another job again. So, I was so scared that Todd was going to lose his. I mean, he has only been there a year and a half and his chances were not looking good. But gratefully, I got a text Monday morning at 7:09am telling me that he had made it! He still has his job! I am so happy, releived, and worried for the next layoff scare. I honestly thank God for this and I know that he has a plan. I also want to thank San Martin Caballero. I lit a candle and prayed for him to help out, and sure enough, he did!!! The candle is still burning, on its 5th day now. I just pray that the economy gets better so no more people (Todd & myself included) have to lose their jobs.

On a happier note, I did our taxes and we are getting a good amount back!!! We are going to put it in savings and add it to our house fund. Things are looking up a bit for us, I am scared to enjoy it, in fear that it will all fall out from under us. You know, the eye of the storm. Things settle just enough to make you think everything is okay, and then Bam! The worst of it happens. I will just keep praying and have faith that everything will be okay in the end!
