Nope, were not annoucing that were pregnant. Drum roll please.............KURT GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!! Yes! It's true! After being unemployed for 7 months and searching for something new, he finally settled on a job with KUTV selling ad's for their Internet listing. Neither one of us really know details on his job yet, but at this point I don't even care, I'm just grateful that he's employed. I was getting more and more concerned as time passed by wondering if we had made the right choice for him to quit his job back in June. I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't a hasty decision, we had put much thought and prayer, and financial preparation into him quitting his job. It is far more important for him to be able to have the time to be a husband and a father and not be living his life to work and never enjoy.
We still don't know if this job he got now is the one that will work out, but he's going to give it his all and I'm excited to be able to stay home with the kids once again and get my life back on track.
Since the end of November I've been working almost full time while Kurt was Mr. Mom. Don't get me wrong, he did a great job taking good care of the girls. There was only one day that he forgot to feed them at all until 3:30 p.m. and maybe they never matched or had their hair done, but for the most part I can't complain, they were happy and safe and that's all that really matters.
This little change in our lives was a great learning experience for all of us. I learned how it felt to come home after working for hours and feeling tired and irritated, and Kurt learned how much work and patience actually goes in being just a stay at home mom. I have always thought we have appreciated what each other does, but after this experience I know will have even more respect and appreciation for one another.
