Who's the Man!

That would be my husband of course! Let me tell you why "he's the man"...

First of all, thank you for your advice yesterday in regards to the "job" situation! We really appreciate the input.

Chris has been offered 2 different jobs while working at a very great job - financially and career wise. But, the job is 45 minutes away so there's a lot of extra travel time and it is contract so he doesn't get sick days, benefits, etc...Basically, if he doesn't show up for work, he doesn't get paid.

Chris used to work from home as a Technical Writer and although it could be a bit hairy sometimes working from home with a houseful, it was a very flexible schedule for him and he was always home in the mornings and after school to be with the kids when I had to work. So, it was great! Then he got hired full time as a Technical Writer with a very reputable, cutting edge company and really enjoyed the work. But, the downfalls were the lack of flexibility, long drives, lack of benefits, etc..

So, he was offered 2 different jobs - both offering him more flexibility, benefits, very close to home, vacation time, sick/family days, etc...

He was really torn as to what to do because of the pay (you know...we are trying to pay for our adoption and raise several children so some months it doesn't matter how much you make - it's still tight!)

Well, he decided to accept a job offer with our Provincial Government and be closer to home and with flexibility so he can be here for the kids when I'm working. Step of faith on his part but we really felt it would ease a lot of stress in our family life and with his work.

The great news is...when Chris told his current employer and the other company he wouldn't be working for them, both companies offered him contract work on the side - which he can do from home on his own schedule! How perfect is that! Not only does he get a sweet job with the Government, he gets free lance work which will more than make up the salary difference!!

So, moral of the story...my husband is "the man" :-) and God continually shows his faithfulness to us in providing for our family!!!!
