It has been a very good, (and busy), week here at Robin's Nesting Place. We had a week long visit from my parents and niece and we finally got the call we had been waiting for! Kerry was offered a position with a company that he has desired to work for for several years now! He starts work on Monday! Things definitely worked out for the better in this case. He enjoyed his other job, but he was considered self-employed and therefore had no company benefits. After having been with a great company for 15 years, a job with no benefits greatly bothered me. I really missed having the perks that a larger company afforded. I'm so thankful that he is now going to have those "perks" again. We are so thankful that the unemployment didn't drag out any longer than it did. We are also very thankful that we can stay right here in our beloved city of Noblesville. I think I'm finally beginning to breath normally again.
We have several friends close to us who are still unemployed. Some are in the same industry as Kerry and a few are not. It is very tough economic times for many people. Our prayers continue to be with those who are still waiting.

Robin, what wonderful news. So happy for your hubby and for you. It is tough to be without a job.
Congratulations! It's wonderful to hear good news.
And I LOVE the gorgeous sunflower.
Congrats! I'm glad to hear the good news. :)
Prayers are answered, Robin. Rejoice and be glad (now all you have to worry about is putting the garden to bed) ;)
That's good news, Robin. I'm happy for your family.
I'm so happy for you and your husband Robin! What a relief it must be for both of you! Congratulations!
Yay hooray Robin!!! Celebrating with you!!
When I saw those drops of water on the sunflower, I thought for a minute that you had gotten rain up your way and it we didn't. But your news is MUCH better than that. Congrats all around!

Hooray Robin!!!! Happy days indeed!!! (And it's always great to get to visit with your family, too, so you were twice blessed!)
Great news Robin. I am so happy for your family. Everyday I count my blessings that my hubby has a good job. Beautiful sunflower picture.
Robin, when I read the tiltle of your post on my blog roll, I hoped it was about the 'job'. I am so pleased for you and Kerry. I know a big weight has been lifted off. And how wonderful you can stay where you are. I remember comments on your original post saying 'things will work out for the better', a blessing in disguise', etc. I know it was hard to believe then, but it truly has worked out for the best. Hugs for your great news!!
Wonderful news! i'm so happy for your family.
Yahooooooo!!! So glad to hear that Kerry is employed again and at a better position. Yipeeee... That sunflower is a beaut. I am sure your parents were thrilled to learn that your hubby is again employed. What a relief.
Hi Robin, that is certainly good news all around. I agree about the benefits being supremely important and am so glad you are breathing normally again.
I was really happy to read this post Robin. I'm glad things are working out so well for you!
Robin, that's wonderful!! I am so happy for you, your husband and your family! Good luck to him tomorrow!
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you all for your kind comments.
We are relieved beyond measure and very thankful that this stressful time has passed.
Carol, I wish we would get some rain. We need it! I actually took this picture several days ago after it had rained.
Good to hear things are going much better for you! That flower is simply gorgeous!
That's wonderful news, Robin! I'm so glad to hear it.
Very good news, Robin! So glad to hear it and so glad it is a move up! Beautiful photo too.

Trying Again....
Robin, I thought of Kerry and his first day on the job early this morning and whispered a prayer for him. I rejoice with you regarding God's blessings and faithfulness.
Blessings,
Susan
This is grand news!!!! Congrats to all of you. Now you can get back to your breathing and normal life. Isn't it grand to be normal. I like dull days cause they make life valuable.
Robin, That is just the best news, I have wondered how the job hunt was going and am so glad you will remain in your town! Gail
So happy for you and your family, Robin. That stunning sunflower looks like it's celebrating, too!
Oh Robin, I am so glad that Kerry has found a good job and one he really likes. And with those very important perks too. Heartfelt congratulations my dear, I can imagine how relieved you all were with this wonderful news. :-) Happy days indeed!
God is good and so faithful.... PTL!
Robin, check out my blog I have awarded you the Super Commenter Award!
What wonderful news, Robin - a job he likes and the benefits... that's the golden ring for many people today.
Congratulations all around!

whew, what a relief. I'm also happy for you and your family Robin, being unemployed is so stressful. You chose the perfect photograph to accompany your great news ~ it's spectacular.
Glad to hear prayers were answered, keep the faith.
So glad it worked out. Odd how ofter what seems to be a disaster turns out positively. Did you know that the Chinese only have one word that means both crisis and opportunity ? (Or so they say - my own Chinese isn't up to that level!)
Hi Robin....congratulations to you and your hubby....and many more blessings....
ps: the House in the Roses is having a Window Party this Friday, and wish you could participate.... only thing you need to do is show us your favorite window of your home.... it promises to be fun! come see!
cielo
YAY!!!!! This is great news, Robin! I'll bet you're both flying high and with good reason!
Congratualtions! (No need to reply. I just wanted you to know I was here and that I care.)
