Our Final Answer!
You know, I was thinking. It's really funny how God works. Rachel and I have been praying for a while now about what we ought to do if we get a job offer like the one we got. We really got excited this past Monday when the offer came in but we also stepped back to say "alright is this what we want to do?" With everything that has happened to bring us to this decision we cannot help but to see the hand of God in it. I have been praying that God would make this easy for us. I had even prayed that we only get one offer! I have just come off of several weeks of very intense job hunting. Last week the phone and the emails were going nuts. I was getting quite a few people inquiring about my resume. Since the offer came on Monday I have not received a single call or email with anyone wanting to know more! This is not a by chance! God has a plan and I need to listen to His voice.Rachel and I accepted the offer from Graham Packaging on Tuesday. I went yesterday to a place in Pontiac for my drug screening and will probably know a start date by tomorrow. I will travel out and aquire some temporary housing for myself while Rachel keeps her home base here in Waterford for about the next couple of months until we can get this place taken care of and find a new home in PA!
We hate to leave but we know we need to leave to be in God's will on this. I don't know what is around the corner, but I trust that God has got it all laid out for us. I wasn't unemployed that long but I am already chomping at the bit and ready to go. It really is an exciting time for us and we want everyone to know how much we have appreciated all of the love, warmth and prayers that have been out there. We are leaving behind a great many friends and family members but believe me when I say that we will be back visiting as often as we can.
Continue to pray for us as we will be traveling a lot and be up to our armpits in allegators so to speak! I love all of you and want you to know that although Russ made a temping offer we just can't live on $10/week and no benefits! Be blessed beyond belief today.

$10 a week and no benefits huh, that sounds pretty good. Okay on a serious note.....goodbye.
Okay even though i love being mean to you i just couldn't leave that message without something nice......so when are you leaving?
They haven't given me a start date yet but I would imagine that I should know that no later than Monday. I'll keep ya posted. B4T
Did you ask us for permission to go?
Don't you have to have a parent with you in order to enter another state?
Were glad you have a job to go but we are sad that you have to leave the state. We know you are in God's will and we rejoice that he has given you a job. How far (fer) is West Hazleton, PA? Will you still route for the Tigers? I think you will!
Doug your dead to me just leave you big doo-doo head.
And now, the end is near;
And so you face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
You've lived a life thats full.
You've traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
You did it His way.
Regrets, you've had a few;
But then again, not too few to mention.
You did what you had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
You planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
You did it His way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When you bit off more than you could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
You ate it up and spit it out.
You faced it all and you stood tall;
And did it Your way.
You've loved, you've laughed and cried.
You've had your fill; your share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think You did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
You did it HIS way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not HIMSELF, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And the words of one who kneels.
The record shows you took the blows -
And did it HIS way!
You know, I wonder if I will be able to find friends just a wacked out as you guys? I love you all (yes even Jamie) and we will miss all of you tremendously. B4T
What drugs did you have to screen? Were any of them any good? Did you get to keep samples? ~.^
Just hope your new company never finds this blog of yours and sees what kind of people you used to hang around with. =P
Hey Doug! I'm gonna miss ya man! I hope this new job and home brings you much happiness and you find a whole new group of nut cases to hang out with. Be blessed!
Thank you very much Bruiser and don't worry because where ever I go, nut cases follow. B4T
Do I have to follow you this time?
