Praise the Lord!

Eric got a job! He will be starting work on Monday the 6th for Penrod & George. Yes, that might sound familiar. This is the accounting firm he started out of college with. They have taken him back as an employee, however, he will be working out of the Napoleon office. That will be quite the drive for him, but I think we are both just happy that he has a job. He knows the work and doesn't mind the work. Praise the Lord for answering prayer!
Today, however, he is home sick. All night long he kept waking up sick to his stomach. Pray that he heals quickly and that it is not passed on in the house. :)

Pause

I feel like all I talk about right now is Eric's job situation, so I'm sorry if you're tired of hearing about it. Eric has had a couple of things come up that have given us a lot of hope. However every time we start to feel like God is going to answer our prayers, something else happens that leaves him still unemployed. It feels like our lives are on pause right now and we have to just sit and wait for God to hit the play button so we can continue. That's really hard. Life just seems to go on around us. I think the hardest part is knowing just how miserable Eric is. He is very much a doer. He doesn't like to sit around doing nothing. He works hard, and likes to work. This sitting at home crap is killing him. But what can we do? Nothing. I want to shake someone and point out just what they are missing by not hiring Eric. What does he not have that others do that make them so much more desireable as an employee? Why doesn't anyone else see him for the great person that I do? I know I'm a little biased, but I don't think I'm that far off.

HELP!!

I get to pick out my own style of dress for my sister's wedding. Yay! However, that means I have to decide, which I don't do well. So I'm taking a poll. Help me pick a dress! :)

Choice 1
This one

Choice 2
Or this one

Choice 3
This one in cocktail length (just below the knee)

Choice 4
This one

Or any other from the alfred angelo website. Her color is going to be burnt orange, and she says she doesn't want us to look like we're wearing bridesmaid dresses. The reception is on the beach, so she wants the shorter length. Any advice you have is great! Thanks!
