For those who are wondering what my last post was about:
I had just done a post about Brandon and I moving to Kuwait. We were both very excited to be going and had everything planned. Brandon was suppose to be leaving on June 5th to Kuwait to begin his new job, but unfortunately the guy he was trading places with (the guy would have been taking Brandon's job in Iraq) decided he didn't want to go to Iraq at the last minute. :(
I think this is pretty crappy. I have already quit my job and rearranged my life for this. And now we aren't going. Frankly, I would like to kick that man in the balls.
Yes. There is some good in this. Brandon will be coming home in mid-July now. So, I'm excited that he'll be here to help with some of the wedding planning (Ok, ok.. I'm excited just to be seeing him too!) and he'll still get a bonus from his work, which we thought he wouldn't be getting if he didn't complete a whole year.
We are a bit scared about him finding work, because of the current state of the economy and the unemployment rate. I'm hopping he'll decided to go back to school to finish his degree. He thinks he has only a few years left to get it (fingers crossed!) if all his credits transfer.
I'm trying to be positive about this whole thing. It is really hard. Kuwait would have been a fun adventure and a chance for us to pay off a large part of our house.
I know God does everything for a reason. And I'm sure I'll look back at this and think "Oh, man! It's a good thing we didn't go to Kuwait!" But right now I'm sad and upset about the whole mess.
So, if any of you know of any good jobs for either myself or my smart, talented husband please let me know! We are both currently available for hire. ;)
PS Thanks for the concerns! It's nice to know people love you.

This is going to happen again and again in your life sweety. I would like to kick a lot of people in their respective genitalia, but that wouldn't really help out the situation at all, but it does feel good to think about, say it, or write it. As far as this idea of GOD and PREDETERMINISM.....read the book of JOB..it will make you feel better. That poor Bastard got it far worse than what is happening to you. and Remember 'God causes the rain to fall on the just as well as the unjust'.
Things will get better. I know it doesn't seem that way now, but it will.
Lou, well my dear you may find a job much better and more to your liking. You are a smart gal and able to do most anything. We love you and want only the best for you and Brandon. Hang in there girl all will be well. Love ya lots Grandma G
did youb eg your old boss to take you back? I would have....sorry honey. You both have good skills a job will come Utah wages suck but it will come. You could always clean my house for spending money! Concentrate on the photography you do a great job, you are so talented and that is your gift. I'm actually excited knowing you are staying now you can do Chris senior pics for me...and a family photo we need desperatly.....Love you.
uhhh ya I know a place in about 3mos after we discovere she isn't all that great :)
You'll do just fine it sounds like you're keeping on your toes and trying to do your best. It's probably well you didnt go. My cousins(Amy) brother is schedualed to be leaving for Kuwait in 3 days theyre all worried about him so although it may have been your dream to go a safer time to go would be a good idea. Jobs will come and go but thats life you're very intellegent keep it going and youll be fine.
