Steve came home last night with some cool and unexpected news. He has now worked at the Longmont Public Library as the systems administrator for 6 months. He was told that they want to "keep him". I, his wife, was very happy to hear this, and very happy that I hadn't known that his job was in question until after the 6 month review. Had I known, I wouldn't have hung anything on the walls yet. This is not because I doubt Steve's abilities in any way, it's because the city of Longmont has a hiring freeze, and as with most cities around America these days, are struggling to make budgets work. People are getting laid off from all sorts of jobs. We live in precarious times.
So, with that in mind the next bit of news was also a big surprise. He was not only told he's a "keeper", but this news came with a raise!!!!!!!!
If I wasn't afraid that a jump for joy would end in me breaking through the floor and landing in Noah's room, I would have. It's so awesome to have the people that Steve works for and with, not only be nice, neat people, but also to appreciate him and see him for the totally great guy he is.
So, again, 3 big cheers for Steve!! What a guy!!!!!

That's awesome! Congratulations! We are both very happy to hear that. The only down side is that means you're staying in Colorado. But if that's what it takes for you all to have a better life, we're both very happy. We love you guys!
Congratulations! The Lord has truly blessed you.
